Thia,

My son adds about 1/3 cup lemon juice to his big pot of chicken soup.  Many people rave about it.

Looking for advice on homemade chicken broth & soup. Mine needs a little zing. I used dried Italian spices, fresh celery leaves, peppercorns, & bay leaves along with carrots & onions to make the stock. No salt. The next day I cooked red & green bells & carrots, added the cooked shell pasta & chicken. It's good but I want a Wow! It's great! Soup.

Any suggestions?

This chocolate brownie recipe is absolutely amazing. Deadly good and whenever I have made it for people, large smiles cross their faces! 

 

1. 350g dark chocolate
2. 375g butter (it seems like I lot, I know, but use it in order to keep the mixture moist)
3. 4 eggs
4. 1 tablespoon salt
5. 350g all-purpose flour
6. 100g normal chocolate chips
7. 100g white chocolate chips

 

Preheat 180 degrees Celsius

Melt the dark chocolate in a reasonably large pot with the butter. Once melted, remove from the stove, cool slightly before whisking the eggs, one by one. You must be very fast so that the eggs don't scramble. Until the mixture has a glossy shine. 

Add the vanilla, salt, sugar, flour and the various chocolate chips. Stir and wait for everything to melt and become one substance.

Place the mixture on a preprepared medium-large deep baking dish and place in the oven until cooked all the way through. Approx 40 minutes. 

Once ready, allow to cool before serving with a dusting of icing sugar!

peaceful oat cookies

• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup dark brown sugar
• ½ cup natural cane sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
• 2 cups old fashioned oats
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 cups dark chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a mixing bowl, mix together the butter and sugars on the lowest speed for 25 seconds. You want the butter to be a bit lumpy (not creamy). Next add eggs as well as the vanilla and mix for another 30 seconds. Add the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt until it makes a completely mixed dough (mix for about 1 minute). Lastly, add chocolate chips.

Scoop a half a cup of dough onto a greased baking sheet, this should yield 20 cookies. Bake for 18 minutes and enjoy!

Lacy you have some of the same recipes that are my favorites. The cheesecake one is slightly different than the one that we have made in my family for upteen years :).

Potato Corn Chowder (Vegetarian Delight)

5 White or Red Potatoes (cubed)
2 cups of fresh corn kernels
2 tbsp of real butter
1/2 cup of chopped celery
1 small onion (red or white)
1 Carton of Vegetable Broth
1/2 cup of unbleached flour
1 bay leaf (optional)
Seasonings to taste

Boil the potatoes until tender using the vegetable broth. In another pot sautee the onions and celery in the butter until soft. Add the flour just enough to soak the butter. Constantly stir until it is slightly brown. Do not let it burn. Ladle the broth from the boiling pot into the flour batter to make a roux and stir constantly. Add more water until the "gravy" like mixture is smooth. Add seasoning to taste. Add the corn kernals and stir for and additional 3 minutes.

Mash the potatoes inside the pot. Add the corn mixture to the pot and stir until well blended. Add additional seasonings to taste and the bay leaf. Tastes really great with hot sauce.

This is what my daughter asked for me to make her last week. She loves it. I will post her request for next weeks meal. More to come. :)
