As the name indicates, this is originally intended to be a beef and vegetable soup but it’s one of those recipies that will work every bit as good if you substitute ground turkey instead of the ground beef. Actually, these days ground beef would have to be on sale for a really good (as in less than a buck fifty a pound!) for me to want to buy that for this recipe instead of just using the turkey.

In large skillet, a pound of ground beef or turkey, a chopped medium onion, and two diced cloves of garlic until meat is browned and the onion is tender.

If using ground beef, drain any fat. Then in a slow cooker, combine the meat mixture, two cups of pre-shredded cole slaw mix, a 10oz package of frozen corn, a 10oz package of frozen green beans, four cups of vegetable juice, a can of stewed tomatoes (undrained), two tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, a teaspoon of crushed dried basil and a quarter teaspoon of black pepper Cover; cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours or on High for 4 to 5 hours.

I was browsing through my recipe collection and found something I hadn’t expected, Doggie Biscuits. They’re not just any old dog biscuits either, would you believe, these are Apple Cinnamon. Frankly, this reminds me a lot of a basic cookie recipe. No doubt that dogs will love them and if you let them have as much as they want, you’ll probably be looking up the doggie version of a list of best diet pills.

Start by taking a package (the original recipe doesn’t say what size package so I’m assuming a single serving size) of dried apples and chop them fine in a food processor or blender so that the pieces are real small.

In a bowl mix five cups of flour, a half cup of powdered milk, a couple of large eggs, a tablespoon of chopped parsley, a tablespoon of garlic powder a cup of ice water and a half cup of corn oil (I imagine that any vegetable oil or olive oil would work as well). If the dough is too dry add a little bit of oil or water at a time until it’s right.

Use a rolling pin and roll out the dough to about 3/16 inch (a bit over a quarter inch or so) thick. If it’s a bit thinner or thicker that’s fine.

Using a cookie cutter and cut into shapes. Re-roll the scraps and cut more shapes until there isn’t enough scraps to cut. Place them on cookie sheets and bake at 350 degrees for approx 20 to 25 minutes until they’re golden brown.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted any of these so here’s some more for food & kitchen terminology.

Cooking a la nage means to poach food, usually seafood, in a court bouillon and serving the court bouillon and the vegetables around the food as much for decoration as it is part of the dish.
