Hi All,
First off let me thank everyone for making me feel sooooooooooooo welcome! It is great to be a part of something so positive in such a hard time.
Second, I have some comfort food recpies that i'd like to share. I'v been a chef for the last 12 years. Now however, I am a organic gardner/farmer.

Tomato and Brie Sandwiches
8 slices of whole wheat bread
1 whole glove garlic
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 teaspoons dijon mustard (or more if you like)
4 oz Brie, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups spinach, arrugula or other spicy greens
8 thick slices tomatoes

Brush one side of bread with oil. Cut garlic in half and rub over the oiled side. repeat with other bread slices.
Spread mustard on "inside" of bread slices. (oiled side down)
Top each mustard side with 1 oz cheese, 1/4 of the greens and 2 tomato slices. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. top with remaining bread slices, oiled side up.
Cook in a hot pan coated with spray 2-3 minutes or until cheese is melted and bread is crisp.

If you don't want to use the oil and garlic, just spread butter over outside instead.


Butter Beans with parsley, tomateos and chorizo
1 14 oz can butterbeans (keep the liquid)
1/2 pound of chorizo ( or other spicy sausage)halved and sliced 1/4 inch thick
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup chopped parsley( or less if you like)

Stir tomatoes, onion parsley into chorizo. Drain the beans and add to the chorizo mix. drizzle oil and vinegar over top and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to serving bowl.

Watergate Salad
I know everyone probably has this already, but, if you don't, this is good and easy! And, it is so pretty, especially at Christmas. I put it in a red glass bowl and with the green color of the pudding, it is very festive looking.

1 PACKAGE OF INSTANT PISTACHIO PUDDING
1 CUP MINIATURE MARSHMALLOWS
1 CUP PECANS OR CHOPPED NUTS
9 OUNCES COOL WHIP

MIX PINEAPPLE WITH PISTACHIO PUDDING AND LET DISSOLVE. ADD MARSHMALLOWS AND NUTS, THEN COOL WHIP. LET SET OVERNIGHT IN FRIG.

Easy Beef Stroganoff
Here goes:

2 Tbsp. oil
2 lbs. steak cut into bite size pieces or beef stew meat
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of onion soup
2 cans beef broth
1 cup water
2 tsps. Worchestershire sauce
1 1 lb. bag of "no yokes" noodles
1/2 cup sour cream

1. Heat oil in very large skillet and brown meat, cook until cooked through. I add my own
seasonings to the meat.
2. Add soup, beef broth, water, Worchestershire sauce and noodles. Cook over medium heat,
simmer 15 mins. or until noodles are done. Add sour cream and cook through.

I made it without the sour cream (forgot to get it at the store) and it was delicious.

Can I say Yummy?
I was hoping that you would post your recipe for this Vicki. Thanks! I can't wait to make it!

Extremely easy tilapia
Tilapia is a mild white fish that works well with a side of a ton of fresh greens. My husband does not like fish but my two teen-age daughters love this recipe.

4 tilapia fillets (each about the size of your palm - totals about a pound)
Mild salsa (I use Safeway's organic, it's perfect)
Olive oil
Lemon juice

I bake this in the oven. I make a pocket out of aluminum foil, laying the fillets side by side. Add a quick couple of turns of extra virgin olive oil then cover the fillets lightly with salsa. Seal up the aluminum foil pouch. Cook in a 350 degree oven for about 20 to 24 minutes. Sprinkly lemon juice on fillets prior to serving. Serve with blanched broccoli crowns or a wilted spinach side and brown wild rice.

Yum - tilapia
I made this the other night, and it's super! Have been trying to increase my fish intake, and the salsa plus lemon juice on this adds just the right zip! Thanks, Martha.
