Did that come out of the old Betty Crocker book? The pie cover? My very most favorite meal with Mom's home made noodles!

[selzer]

No. That was a hand-me down. My Grandmother came over from Hungary. But I am sure there are various recipes for it. I looked it up in a hungarian cookbook and it was nothing like it.

Spatzum is a home-made German egg noodle or drop dumpling.

We are having this tonight.

[Jax08]

ohhh...real Hungarian Goulash! I'm going to try this recipe soon! Thanks Sue! Mom makes home made egg noodles to put it over.

yeah, its good and that is pretty much how I make mine. I see you like to cook. I cook a good, healthy home meal 5-7 times a week.
I finally got a new ingredient (Tamarind) that i have been dying to add to my Pad Thai noodles, I am also experimenting with some new Caribbean recipes right now. I am a VitaMix nut too.

I love to cook. My cabbage rolls have been requested and provided for weddings, and other parties. This stuff is starting to SMELL GOOD now, two MORE hours.

I like to cook.

On Sundays I cook at my sister's house. My sister comes down and demands what time dinner is after I get the stuff going.

Tameric. I do not use it. I know it is used in Indian foods a lot. I make Indian food without the heat, and most people figure what is the point. I love rice, and certainly the chicken and other ingredients, just not a fan of the spices, and do not do heat at all.

Have had a few amazing recipes sent my way lately I have decided to pass along. I have not tried these and they are not "mine" but just sound sooo yummy and waiting til I feel better so I can get to the store and get some ingredients to try these ESPECIALLY the bread.

First:

Lemon Cupcakes with Blackberry Buttercream frosting

1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup low-fat milk
1 lemon, juice and zest

1 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup seedless blackberry jam
Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
Cream sugar and 1/2 cup butter in the bowl of a stand mixer until fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, and mix 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract into mixture with the second egg.
Beat in flour and baking powder until thoroughly combined; beat in milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest to make a smooth batter.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups.
Bake in the preheated oven until cupcake edges are slightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool cupcakes completely.
Beat 1 cup butter with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and salt until smooth and creamy. Beat in confectioners' sugar, 1 cup at a time, to make a creamy frosting. Beat in blackberry jam. Spread frosting on cooled cupcakes.

Lemon Blueberry Bread

Ingredients

1/3 cup melted butter
1 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup white sugar
Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x4 inch loaf pan.
In a mixing bowl, beat together butter, 1 cup sugar, juice and eggs. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; stir into egg mixture alternately with milk. Fold in lemon zest, nuts, and blueberries. Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 70 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool bread in pan for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine lemon juice and 1/4 cup sugar in a small bowl. Remove bread from pan and drizzle with glaze. Cool on a wire rack.

Personally for the bread I would recommend using powdered sugar instead of regular sugar for the icing.

Pop's bean soup:

Ingredients:
2# navy beans
1 large ham bone with meat on it -- bone left over from some other meal, so cooked.
1# carrots
5 stalks celary
3 medium onions
8 peppercorns
2 small bay leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 can Campbell's tomato soup

In a big pot, (10 quart worked) soak the beans the night before, pick them over and add 3-4 quarts of water and let them sit a minimum of 8 hours. Then drain and rinse them, and if necessary pick out anything foreign.

Add 4 quarts of water, the ham bone, bay leaves, and the pepper corns, and simmer these for 1.5 hours.

Remove the ham bone, and add the salt and pepper.

Clean and cut up the celery stalks and add them.

Peel and cut up the onions and add them.

Peel and cut up the carrots and add them.

Simmer for another 1/2 hour.

Remove and cut up the meat left on the bone and add to the pot.

Check the beans.

When the beans are tender, add the contents of the can of tomato soup. Cook for another ten minutes ensuring that it does not stick. Move to warmer burner if there is one.

Serve with fresh Italian bread and butter. I like fresh cold milk with this as well.
