Italian Spinach Soup by John Spottiswood

Suprise, surprise. Another amazing recipe adapted from Marcella Hazan's Essential's of Italian Cooking. This is one of my bibles. Not only did I love this spinach soup, but all four of my kids did too! Everyone had mutiple servings. We served it with simple sourdough toast, though Crostini (Italian croutons) is what Marcella…

This recipe is a favorite of my lil girl. As far as I can remember, this is her first favorite veggie dish. I add eggs to the dish when I cook it for her. Enjoy!

Marinated Asparagus by Robyn Savoie

This versatile recipe made with fresh asparagus can be made year around. Serve it cold or warm as side with any meal. My favorite way to serve this is grilling it. It produces rave reviews every time. Even from guests who may not be fans of asparagus.

One of my favorite native desserts. It takes time to cook, it makes your arms ache from stirring but it is worth it all!

Basil Dipping Oil by Bob Vincent

This is an easy and quick dipping oil. It is a nice dipping oil for freshly baked breads. I did not add salt, pepper or other ingredients that may seem appropriate. The oil is basically pesto sauce without, pine nuts, cheese and garlic. It makes a great base for a tasty bruschetta with tomatos and mozzarella when tomatos are at…

Chow-Chow Relish by Salad Foodie

Fall's green tomatoes are a perfect base for a batch of chow-chow. This pickled relish or condiment is lip-smacking good on hotdogs, hamburgers, fish, poultry, beans - oh, just everything! This version is a fusion of a friend's recipe and several others I compared it to, and I really like the results! A stash of 6 pints or 12…

Vegetable Medley Soup by Unknown Chef

Spelling "vegetable" was a challenge for me in my fourth grade english class. (Is this a good start for my Food Network Star Show on making soup?) Anyway, we are a family of soup lovers and eat soup all year round. There are plenty of vegetable soup recipes to choose and I am sure you have a favorite recipe. I have no stock recipe…

Cucumber Relish by Donna Mitchell Carroll

Good to use with fresh peas and beans. If you don't want it as sweet cut to sugar to your desired sweetness.

Vegan Simple Pea Soup by Jill

This simple pea soup is excellent cooked as well as raw! This can be used as a base for so many more vegetables too! Use your imagination and try shredding some potatoes, celery, corn, etc. I like to add seitan. Let me know how yours comes out. I"ve only made this using my Vita-mix but I'm sure a regular blender will work…
