HAMBURGER VEGETABLE SOUP

Kathy Baldwin, Vic Baldwin, Recipe #9

1 diced onion
3 diced potatoes
3 diced carrots
3 diced stalks celery
½ diced green pepper
1 can tomato soup
2 tsp. chili powder
½ small head cabbage, sliced
1 1-lb. can tomatoes, chopped
1 lb hamburger

Brown meat and add salt, pepper, garlic to taste.
Add rest of ingredients and enough water to cover.
Simmer 2 hours.

I usually double this recipe. Makes about 1 ½ gallons. I usually add homemade salsa along with the tomato soup. During summer, when tomatoes are plentiful, I add fresh tomatoes. I rinse out all the catsup bottles, any tomato based things like barbeque sauce. I leave out the chili powder because the salsa is the spicing. I don't add any other spices.

(recipe Kathy Baldwin got from Maxine Sommer)

PANCAKES / WAFFLES


Kathy Baldwin, Vic Baldwin, Recipe #7

2 cups flour (I use half whole wheat flour)
1 TB sugar
Pinch of salt
1 TB baking powder

Mix these dry ingredients together before adding :
1 TB oil
1 egg
2 cups milk (you can use buttermilk, half & half, cream if you have access to whole milk – if you use cream, cut down on the oil)

Get your grill hot and oil the grill before the 1st batch – you don't need to continue to use oil unless your pan sticks. Makes about 6 waffles and 18 pancakes depending on the size you make them.

The kids are always asking for my pancake recipe – it is in the back of my High School home ec book. I have made it so many times that it is memorized and I have changed it a little.
