When we were back at the farm over the holidays, Mary gathered up a bunch of old family recipies and brought them home. They were written down on everything from index cards to old envelopes to a computer punch card.
One of our projects this year is going to be to make many of these recipes – some of them require exotic ingredients such as Cheese Whiz – take photos of the dishes, scan the original recipes, and assemble it all into a book.

Swordfish with cherry tomatoes of Calabria, fagiolini, salad, and black olives of Provence.
Recipe 🙂
Tomatoes are cooked for 30′ in the oven at 160C with garlic, then the oven is brought down to 120C and the swordfish goes in for 35′, after giving it a bathe of olive oil (a couple of spoons) and a pinch of salt. If you want you can pass in in a pan for a while when it comes out. Meanwhile you can prepare the salad, the briefly boiled fagiolini, the black olives and the tomatoes in the dish and then cut the swordfish (but it could be also a salmon if u like:) and dispose it over the veggies. et voila!
I didn’t mention quantities because they really depend on how many and how hungry you are 🙂 this time it was for two and we had a fillet of fish each and then just enough vegetables to fill the dish..
You can garnish with mayonnaise on a separate dish if u want!

Dinner (with recipe)

Image by Chaomancer
Hot, steamy dinner, messy to make, good to eat. This would probably feed 6 people but I was aiming for 3 single meals 😉 Warning: probably won’t fit in a single pot. Divide all amounts evenly for smaller parties.
Ingredients:
– 300 grams macaroni
– 250 grams mushrooms
– 500 grams green beans
– 300 grams carrots
– 200 grams onions
– 200 grams of cubed bacon (or other meat)
– lots of olive oil, some salt, some black pepper
– 1 red pepper
Start by frying up the bacon, so it will release all the nice grease. Add the mushrooms, red pepper, and onions, all in small pieces. Let it fry for a while, until the mushrooms turn brownish. Meanwhile, cook macaroni as usual, until it is al dente. Drain it, and put it aside until later.
Once mushrooms start to look brownish, add the carrots and beans. Stir frequently and let it cook on medium heat. After a couple of minutes (you may want to try some veggies to see if they’re tasty) add macaroni to the mix. Stir everything and let it cook for another 5 minutes or so, so the macaroni takes on some of the flavor of the other ingredients.
Ready to serve.

Wild Rice Soup (Recipe)

Image by Ruthieki
This soup is inspired by the legendary wild rice soup at Lutsen Resort in Lutsen, MN. It’s rich and creamy and not exactly the healthiest soup I’ve ever made, but it’s so delicious and warming that the fat content doesn’t seem to deter anyone from going back for seconds and thirds. This makes about 8-10 servings. Cut the recipe in half if you want less. It freezes very well, though, so I usually make the full batch and freeze several quarts in ziplock bags.
In a medium saucepan, combine:
1 cup Wild Rice
3 cups water
Cook rice and water together on low heat, covered, until the rice is tender, about 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, saute in butter:
1 large onion, diced
3 carrots, diced
2 potatoes, peeled and diced
Add:
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup water
Cover and cook until the potatoes and carrots are tender. Add the cooked rice,
1 cup of milk or 1/2 cup of cream
1 small brick of Velveeta cheese, cut into little pieces.
Simmer gently until the cheese is completely melted into the soup. Add more milk if the soup seems too thick.
Preserving the Recipe Box

Image by Carol VanHook
Dailyshoot Challenge: Containers, boxes, and packages. Make a photo with one or more as a subject and illustrate what they mean to you.
Wow! There are many choices for this challenge. I settled on a nostalgic box. Do they even make recipe boxes anymore? Just make a folder on the computer and store the recipes…easier to search!
However, this fine plastic recipe box has dividers made thirty years ago by a fine young man, age four at the time. The top divider is for desserts. It has a chocolate pirate birthday cake, candy cane, and Valentine cookie decoration. The sauce card below illustrates ketchup coming out of a jar because it is sitting on a ribbon. The young man explained to make ketchup that you cut the tomatoes, cook ’em, eat ’em.
And I quote him, "Tastes good! Put on tator tots!" Thanks for the memories, Jayson!
