Tried, Tested and True



Hungry yet?
So this past Christmas one of the things I got was a book to record recipes in.
I thought at first it was kinda funny as for the most part my recipes either come from:
a) online (blog, foodnetwork, allrecipes..etc)
b) from a recipe book
c) from one female to another (via email or binders filled with photo-copied recipes)

So I thought at first between my computer and some binders I don't really need somewhere to store MORE recipes!
Then the light bulb went on.

I decided that this book is ONLY for recipes that are "Tried, Tested and True"
Not one of those "well someday when I have these things in my pantry I would like to try this..."
These guys are defaults, so on a day when I need something I know is yummy, I have record of them.

Tonight, it happened to be the soup shown above. I think I actually got it down pat tonight. Thus making sure I wrote it down EXACTLY how it was made.

Now to put that potato soup recipe in there that I made the other night! DELISH ;D

oui oui!
(i apologize in advance for how poorly the recipe is written out)

it's really easy and most of the time consists of veggies i have in the fridge :)

-cook up some ground beef, pork or chicken (whichever you prefer)
-put a small to med size pot of water onto boil (for the pasta..i really enjoy the whole wheat bow ties in this soup)

meanwhile
-bring a large pot of water to a boil
then add:
-2 to 3pcks of chicken bouillon
-oregano
-bay leaf
-1 can diced tomatoes
let that come to a simmer
then add:
-chopped zucchini
-2 ribs of celery
-1 to 2 carrots (i had one left so thats what i used)

lastly, add the ground meat and pasta to the soup and let it simmer for a few mins

serve with bread and bon apetite!
