Serves 6-10
Ingredients
| 6 eggs |
|
6-10 white potatoes |
| ¼ c. fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped |
|
1 sm. jar sweet pickles |
| Mayonnaise |
|
Salt |
| Black Pepper |
|
|
Directions
- Hard boil the eggs. When done, set aside to cool. This can be done ahead of time.
- Lightly wash the unpeeled potatoes to remove any loose dirt. Place the potatoes in a clean plastic grocery bag. Loosely tie the bag once & cut a small slit in the bag about half way down. Cook the potatoes in the microwave for 15 minutes on high. When you think they’re done, stick a fork in and it should slide out easily and smoothly when done.
- When the potatoes are done remove them from the bag carefully as they’ll be hot. Using a sharp knife, peel the loose skin from the potatoes. Cut up or dice the potatoes & place in a suitably sized bow.
- Peel the hard boiled eggs & dice them finely. Add to the potatoes. Add salt & black pepper to taste. Add pickles, parsley, & enough mayonnaise to mix together with your preferred taste and moistness. Cover with plastic

Serves: Depends how large you make the meatballs
Ingredients
| 2 lbs. ground beef (80/20 blend( |
|
1 lb. ground pork sausage |
| 2 eggs, gently beaten |
|
½ c. seasoned bread crumbs |
| ½ c. oatmeal (uncooked) |
|
½ c. Parmesan cheese, grated |

|
4-8 cloves garlic, minced |
| ¼ c. fresh parsley |
|
2 tbsp Italian seasoning |
| 1-2 tbsp butter |
|
cooking oil of choice |
Directions
In a large bowl, combine ground beef with ground pork. Mix thoroughly together to combine. Be sure to wash your hands afterwards if you mix with your hands.
- Blend eggs, bread crumbs, oatmeal, Parmesan cheese, onion soup mix, garlic, parsley, & Italian seasoning. Using your hands, thoroughly mix the ingredients together. Take the mixture and form into balls. Set aside & cover with a towel.
- In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil of your choice and butter until the butter starts to foam. Place meatballs one at a time into the skillet & keep rolling around to brown all sides evenly.
- Set aside the browned meatballs on a paper towel lined plate to drain. You can now add the meatballs to your sauce to finish cooking.
Chef’s Note: The meatballs may be stored, covered, in the refrigerator until you’re ready to finish cooking. You can also use this mixture to make hamburgers for grilling.

Serves 16
| 2/3 c. mild honey |
|
1/3 c. unsweetened cocoa powder |
| ½ c. white whole wheat flour |
|
¼ tsp aluminum free baking powder |
| ¼ tsp baking soda |
|
¼ tsp salt |
| ½ c. unsweetened applesauce |
|
2 tbsp olive oil |
| 1 large egg |
|
¾ tsp pure vanilla extract |
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray an 8″ square pan with olive oil. Set aside.
2. Place the honey in a large glass measuring cup. Microwave on high power until the honey is runny & just bubbling, 45 to 60 seconds. Add cocoa & stir with a fork until well combined. Let cool to room temperature.
3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, place the flour, baking powder, baking soda, & salt. Whisk until well combined.
4. In a large bowl, combine the applesauce, oil, egg, & vanilla. Whisk together until well blended. Add honey, cocoa mixture & whisk until smooth. Add the flour mixture to the liquid mixture & stir until no traces of flour remain. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan.
5. Bake until the surface looks dry around the edges of the pan & a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs clinging to it, about 25 minutes. Do not overbake. Place the pan on a cooling rack & let cool completely before slicing into 16 squares. (Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days)
6. Cover pot & let soup simmer on low for 30 minutes.
7. Serve in a bowl, top with spoon full of sour cream & shredded cheese.
