	Roasted Tomatillo Salsa by Cindy McNamara I picked up a bunch of nice looking tomatillos at the local farmers market this week that were crying to be charred on the grill and made into a spicy salsa for me to can. It could be eaten fresh and would last a couple of weeks in the fridge. If you don't want so much heat, simply reduce the jalapeno quantity.	4 votes 3 reviews 1 comment 3602 views
	McNamara's Brown Irish Soda Bread by Cindy McNamara This is a healthy brown version with no fruit or caraway seeds added. I have taken the liberty to include ground flaxseed and substitute honey or agave nectar for the sugar. I think this is my favorite version of this traditional St. Patrick's Day staple.	1 vote 3612 views
	Farmhouse Bean Soup by Cindy McNamara To me, navy bean soup is a requirement once the weather cools off. This is a meatless version that includes dice potatoes and crisp green beans added at the very end of cooking.A hambone or a smoked turkey wing would be yummy!	1 vote 1 comment 3112 views
	Braised Lamb w Flageolets & Winter Vegetables by Cindy McNamara Boneless leg of lamb butterflied and packed with a garlic herb paste then braised. Winter root vegetables and heirloom beans added towards the end of a 3-4 hour braise. Comfort food with a Provencal flavor. I'm serving it up tonight with lightly dressed green salad, crusty bread and red wine.	1 vote 2343 views

	Ellen's Brownies by Cindy McNamara Throughout our military career I have collected a number of favorite recipes from friends and family members that stand out.

	McNamara Clans Favorite Chili by Cindy McNamara Just whipped up a batch of this rich, beefy chili for Super Bowl Sunday. We love to top it with sour cream, avocado, cilantro, shredded cheese, green onion and fried corn tortilla strips. I like a squeeze of lime on mine too. Its always better the second day and makes excellent filling for baked potatoes, burritos or for nachos.	1 vote 1945 views

	British 'Flapjacks' by Cindy McNamara A very simple and underestimated cookie I am including in my Christmas cookie gift boxes this year. In order to feel less guilty about how nutrious these were I added flax seeds along with the oats.	1 vote 1341 views
	Sausage, White Bean & Kale Soup by Cindy McNamara I prefer to use a spicy italian sausage for this soup but other sausages can certainly be used as you prefer. This soup can be further enriched at the end by adding some milk or cream but it isn't necessary. Reheats really well for next day servings. Serve up with a crusty loaf of bread and its a hearty meal all on its own. Don't…	1 vote 1204 views
	Sunshine C Salad by Cindy McNamara Fresh and colorful, this slaw is chock-full of vitamin C, virtually no calories and no fat to worry about. It is a mayo free and picnic friendly slaw. I love to make a big box of it an keep it in the fridge to snack on for as long as it lasts.
