I found this one in my Moms recipe box. This is the first time I have used it. It makes a very soft cookie.

2 1/4 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
3/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup molasses
1 1/2 cup apple sauce (I used some sauce I made that had a lot of cinnamon and spices so I did not add the other cinnamon)
2 cups oatmeal
1 cup raisins
Cream sugar, butter and eggs. Stir in remaining ingredients.
375 for 10 minutes

Thanks!

I have already made spaghetti sauce (though I could use a few more jars) and I still have tomatoes and basil left over! I think that I will get a few more ripe maters for more spaghetti sauce next weekend. I made chicken stock, so DH is requesting chicken noodle soup with veggies.
 
I did manage to make that vegetable beef soup this weekend. It was really good, and we've got enough for at least another meal this week.
I also cooked down one of my cornish Xs in the crockpot, Terrie. I cooked it about 10 hours until I had thick broth and meat that fell off the bone. My meatie chickens were tough, and this is the best way to use their meat this year.
Here's what I did with it, it's so easy in a pinch for a quick dinner in case someone else needs a good quickie dinner:

Chicken Casserole

1 can cream of chicken soup
1 cup chicken broth
1 can evaporated milk
1 cup shredded cheese (I used Cheddar/Mont jack)
1 1/2 cups chicken, diced or shredded
1 bag egg noodles

Boil noodles seasoned with salt. Mix soup, broth, evap milk, cheese, and chicken in bowl. Mix in noodles, coating completely. Pour into 9x13 pan. Top with buttered cornflake crumbs. Bake 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
 
Whenever I make a roast pork, I chop and freeze the leftover meat.
Or, chop leftover ham. I add this to a bag of 15 bean soup.

This time, I used the tomato, onion and carrot mixture I braised a brisket in, leftover chopped ham and smoked sausage.

A bag of 15 bean soup, chopped onion, a packet of Goya ham seasoning, some water and chicken stock, the leftover meat all simmered together for a while.

Made for a tasty, thick, hearty soup if I must say so myself!
 
I made chicken noodle soup the other nite and my kids, who can be picky eaters, didn't leave any left overs.

It really isn't that special, but its good.

sautee large peices of carrot, onion, green pepper, celery, and a garlic clove or two cut in half, in equal parts oil and butter. I usually use a Tbsp of each. I don't use too many veggies, its just for flavoring the broth. You don't want to cook these for too long, just want to release the flavors. I cook them for probably 5 minutres or so.. Remove meat from left over roaster and refriderate. Put chicken bones in pot and add water, about 4 cups.

Simmer 5-6 hours. Remove vegetables and bones from broth. I throw the vegetables away with the bones, they get pretty soggy. Add cut up fresh carrots and a can of broth, I like to use the canned vegetable broth but chicken broth is fine too, and cook till almost tender then add cut up chicken and broccoli. Cook till heated through. Add cooked and drained egg noodles, season with S&P, stir and serve.


I sometimes serve this with corn or garlic bread.

I'm all about quick and simple....veggie soup. Half a can of tomato juice, 3 small cans of tomato sauce, 2 bay leaves, 1 bag of mixed veggies, cut up potatoes, garlic, and whatever else you want. Salt and seasoning to taste. Throw it all in the pot and simmer for a few hours. Serve with a big loaf of french bread and butter.
