Great idea! I will do the same!

As of tomorrow, we have been married a year and I am fairly sure that the hubby gets bored with some of my "normal" recipes. I love to cook, and have tons of great American/Italian and Mexican fare as well as some Chinese and curry.

I am writing down the recipe for the Sauerkraut Soup. Schmeckt gut, ja? (tastes good)

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

Rowan,
My g/f wants to know what type of apple vinegar you use in the Sauerkraut soup. Is it an apple cider vinegar? Or is it something else?

Thanks,

[Rowan]

Hey Rowan,

I'm trying the Sauerkraut Soup recipe today. As I type it is slowly cooking in a crockpot in my kitchen. It smells so good. I have about another 5 hours until it's ready. I'll let you know how it turned out!

The soup was delicious. Thanks again for the recipe.

Cheater pasta sauce

I learned to cook from my ex-bf's mom - here is one of the best kept little secrets regarding italian food...

K.eep I.t S.imple S.tupid

2 cans plain tomato sauce
add anything that you like - i.e. sauteed mushrooms, onions, garlic, artichoke hearts or fresh roma tomatoes - I like capers and sausage
dash of salt and pepper

Let simmer until thick and you have really great sauce that no one is any the smarter

Authentic Bruscetta

6 firm roma tomatoes -cut into ring fingernail sized pieces
1/2 pd. fresh mozzerella - if it is in a brick and a plastic wrapper, it is NOT fresh - same as above
Sever sprigs of fresh Basil - take each leaf off the stem and roll the leaves up and cut into smaller pieces
GOOD Virgin olive oil
Fresh Italian bread sliced and toasted lightly

Chop all ingredients and mix together - coat with about 1/4 cup olive oil - after about 20 minutes serve on top of toasted slices - this is the best dinner on a hot day next to BLT sandwiches

the sauce sounds really good. i might have to give it a try next time i make italian

[Rowan]

It is very plain, but the taste of the tomatoes comes out and it is a better taste than canned sauce. Fresh is the best. This summer, it is my goal to get my husband to love eggplant if it kills both of us.

I am considering putting up my recipe for DisneyWorld's Tonga toast - Bananna stuffed French toast.
