A4dfghjkl we usually have more but since we were away my mom cooked the basics. And nah I just made a cake lol but I did all the errands!!!!

syriansephardi: oh so nice of ya!!!

SJS I feel for u its hard with no cleaning help

Honestly, I dont think I could ever have cleaning help. I don’t like strangers going through my stuff. Then I have to have a schedule of what nights I am home so that the cleaning lady can be there? Its too much for me – I would rather not have a spotless house and do my own cleaning.

Plus, everyone I know that has cleaning help has had things stolen. My grandparents got cleaning help when they got older and couldnt do it themselves. So many things were stolen – including a USED lipstick. Who steals a used liptstick????

I guess because I didnt grow up with it, its a hard concept to adjust to…

Sjs: I guess since ur not home its harder….my mother checks their bag when they leave!!!!

I hate being that suspicious of people though…its tough.

Mushroom Onion Quiche – preheat oven to 350 degrees

2 large onions, cut up

1 can mushroom stems and pieces

1/2 cup mayonnaise, (may use lite version, just as good)

1 1/2 teaspoons salt (you may alter the amount of salt, to taste)

good gezunt shake of black pepper

4-5 eggs (I use 5)

Saute onions and mushrooms until the onions are golden and soft and mushrooms are “done” looking (just a few minutes). Drain off the oil, cool slightly and add the rest of the ingredients. Pour into a 9″ disposable Pam-sprayed pan, or an unbaked pie shell (I never do this myself, but my kids do, because they like the idea of quiche being in the shell, and i don’t need the carbs, and anyway my way it can be done for Pesach). Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes,or until it looks puffed and golden brown. In the pie shell, it might take more time. You have to check. It is so yummy. My family looks forward to Yomim Tovim, because that is when I usually like to make this. Enjoy.

SJS, talk about yummy – your recipe is really interesting. I must try it soon. I am also not an exact measurement cook, unless I am making something that requires precision.

It’s a standard size mushroom can (drain very well), about 12-14 oz., I guess. Like about the size of a can of cranberry sauce. It makes a wonderful pareve quuiche, and you would never know it had no milchigs in it.

Thanks.

BARLEY CASSEROLE

1 c. chopped onions

1/2 lb. sliced mushrooms

1 c. pearl barley

4-5 tsp. butter

1 c. water

1 can consomme (beef)

Brown barley in butter. Add onions and mushrooms; saute. Place mixture in buttered casserole dish. (No salt or pepper.) Mix 1 cup water and 1 can consomme. Pour 1 cup liquid over barley mixture. Bake covered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Add remaining liquid and cook uncovered for 20-30 minutes more or until done.

String Beans:

Sautee 1 onion until golden. Slice 1 box of fresh** mushrooms and sautee. Add red pepper (julienned) and sautee some more. Season with salt, garlic powder and paprika to taste. Add 8 oz whole, fresh** string beans and 1/4 cup of water. Simmer for 30-45 minutes or until desired tenderness.

** you can use canned mushrooms and frozen string beans, but it is definitely not as good

Note – fresh mushrooms might need checking for bugs.

Easy and Yum! Enjoy!

6 T oil

5 T vinegar

5 T teriyaki sauce

salt

pepper

(the last 3 to your tasting)

**Easy and delicious (most ppl think so!!) Let me know what you think!

There’s also another salad i make that everyone who tastes loves. i randomly chose it to make when it was an hour before a friends shower and had nothing in the house 2 make what i had planned on so looking at what i had my mom quickly suggested this recipie she used to make but hasnt in foreva and since them e/o alwasy requests this sald at parties and i am always repeating the recipie. this one is with both purple and white cabbage (shredded) so let me know if your interested in this!

thats all for now!

thanks for your advice!

asdf – hot pastrami:

buy package uncooked pastrami from store. (chicken pastrami is also good, but doesn’t cut as well.) remove from package, wrap in aluminum foil, and place, seam side up, on chulent. YUM!

and i’m not really new. just haven’t written in a while. wrote one poem a while back for the main YW….

sjs – oh, gosh. i’m terrible at giving recipes, cuz i don’t have them, but i’ll tell you what i put in and you can figure out measurements, ok?

honey-mustard: equal amounts of honey and mustard, sprinkle in garlic or add crushed, smear over salmon and bake open on 400 for about 20 minutes depending on oven.

cajun: I actually premixed spices in a container (basically all in my spice cabinet) so it sounds complicated but it’s really not. spice rub is good for chicken and steak as well as all kinds of fish.

seasoned salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, cilantro, parsley, pepper, paprika, turmeric, dash of oregano, mustard powder (and whatever else you decide)

mix with a little olive oil and lemon or lime juice and rub over salmon.

morrocan: yummy with salmon, tilapia and tune steaks

chopped fresh tomatoes, chopped fresh cilantro, paprika, hot paprika, dash tomato sauce or ketchup, a few slices lemon or lemon juice, lots of chopped fresh garlic, a little cumin, julienned carrots and red peppers, olive oil

cook covered on stovetop for 30-40 minutes

salmon with creamed spinach – lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, spray olive oil – bake with salmon on 400 for about 20 minutes

frozen chopped spinach, mayo, drop lemon juice, fresh chopped garlic, dash salt – mix together, heat in microwave or in oven. serve piled on salmon.

if doing with tilapia, lay uncooked tilapia flat side up. spoon creamed spinach on one end. add three pieces slivered red pepper. roll, and place seam side down on greased pan. sprinkle on lemon juice garlic, salt, pepper, olive oil and dried cilantro. bake on 400 for 20 min. looks really pretty and tastes great! my husband’s not a big spinach eater but he really likes this.

aviracheli – broccolli/cauliflower kugel, easy and creamy…

cook up 1 16 oz bag of broccolli and 1 16 oz bag of cauliflower (or you can just do one 32 oz bag of one of them)

drain.

mash.

add 3 eggs, 2 tbs minced onion, 2 cloves crushed garlic (i use frozen squares) or one tsp garlic pwdr, salt and pepper.

mix well.

recipe really calls for 2 tbs mayo, but i skip it.

pour into 2 greased 9 inch round pans.

smooth top.

(can sprinkle cornflake crumbs on bottom and top, but it’s not necessary)

bake on 375 till golden or starts browning.

sjs – here’s the other cabbage salad recipie:

1 bag shredded purple cabbage

1 bag shredded white cabbage

1 bunch scallions, washed and sliced

roasted slivered almonds – however much you like

chow mein noodles – again, as much as you like

dressing:

1/2 C oil

6 T sugar (i wonder if splenda works as well, never tried but dont see why not!)

6 T vinegar

1/2 t salt

1/2 t pepper

easy and yum!

let me know if you try it and how it comes out!
