Woke up this morning to more snow but at least it was feeling a little warmer - it's pretty sad when you think 19 degrees is warm. Anyway I decide it was a good day for "comfort" food so
after a trip to the market I made cabbage soup - it is by far our favorite winter soup. I also had found a recipe for apple crisp using Idahoan Butter & Herb instant mashed potatoes...........I know strange but I had to try it! Poster will be my guinea pig! He'll eat it & I'll let you know later!
We decide this afternoon to take Liza to her favorite park for a walk - with it being so cold she hasn't been out for too many walks & the street were all salt again. It was hard work walking through the snow but she had a ball!
PS. Recipe for soup:
(1) – medium cabbage shredded
(1) - large onion chopped
(3) - 14-1/2oz cans chicken broth
(3) – tblsp sugar
salt & pepper to taste
(1) – bay leaf
(2) – tblsp worcestershire sauce
(1)lb. ground beef or ground turkey
(2) 6oz cans tomato paste
1-1/4 tsp allspice
(2) 14oz cans baked beans
Brown meat and onion together in large (6-quart) pot. Add all other ingredients except for tomato paste and baked beans. Stir well, bring to boil and simmer for (1) hour until cabbage is cooked. Add tomato paste and baked beans and simmer for approximately another 1//2 hour.
Only mother would think cabbage soap is comfort food.
