10 Bean Soup                           Serves 12 1/4 cup each of the following beans: Black eyed peas                       Pinto beans Black beans                               Lentils Great northern beans            Red beans Small lima beans                    Navy beans Split green peas                       Pearl barley   Wash beans thoroughly, place in large container, cover with water and 2 Tblsp salt – soak overnight.  Next day, drain, put into large pot, add 2 quarts (8 cups) water and 1/2 lb.ham or ham hocks.  Bring to a boil.  Stir occasionally.  Simmer 2 – 2 1/2 hours, then add:   1 lg. onion, chopped                 1 29 oz. can diced tomatoes 1 pod red pepper OR 1 tsp chili powder juice of 1 lemon                          salt & pepper to taste 1 clove crushed garlic   Simmer another 30 minutes.   Tastes even better made ahead and refrigerated a couple of days! It’s okay to substitute different types of beans, or omit 1 or 2 – just be sure to add an extra 1/4 cup of something you already have.  (I used only eight kinds at Heart to Heart and it turned out fine!)  Enjoy!   Brownie Truffles Bake package of brownies as directed ( a little more well-done is okay, just not burnt!)   With a food processor, crumble brownies into a medium bowl.  Add:   3 Tbsp  heavy cream                  3 Tbsp  brandy 1 Tbsp vanilla                              1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (opt)   Mix until blended.  Chill 20 minutes.  Shape into balls and roll in powdered sugar.  Keep refrigerated until served.   Cheesey Broccolli   Nope – did not make this from scratch, I’ll admit it!!!  It’s a Bear Creek soup mix found in the soup aisle ( top shelf in Food 4 Less!)  Their Tortilla Soup mix is good, too – sometimes I add cooked chicken and broken tortilla chips – pretty yummy!   Thai Pumpkin Soup is Marilyn’s creation and Mary Jo made the great Spicy Chicken!  I want the recipes for those, too!!!

 OK so what was your favorite deal this week? I was …well …. uninspired. Vons had a few decent deals but not enough to fill the list. I do have some ideas though! I will fill the list on uninspiring weeks with my fav. spots for buying healthy foods on a budget and YOU will need to “comment” on your fav. hot spots for dealios. Every week, I will pick a winner of “The Best Deal of the Week”

Hope y-all love this, and lets bless each other!

Meals for the Meade family

I don’t know who knows and who doesn’t but Josh Meades mother died Dec. 31 at 4 am. she was fighting pancreatic cancer. I am trying to get meals together for their family. Josh is hosting 1-2 of his brothers so meals will be for 7 people at least. Please call me if you want to help support them with food. These meals really are a ministry opportunity. I had meals brought to me after my son was born and it was amazing.

Care and Share

MEALS: Elizabeth and Jason Howell and new baby Emily (8/9/09)

If you would like to make a meal (or send money if cooking isn’t your thing) for the Howell family, please bring it to church, Sunday August 16. I will be taking meals and money to them in San Simeon after church. Just put Howell on your dish and I’ll get it to them.

This is an awesome ministry. Speaking from experience there is nothing like bringing a new baby home and not having to worry about making dinner.

If you have an questions please call Bekah 276-7072

As a reminder I currently have the following people already bringing a dish on Sunday:
Mindy Meade
Christina Silva
Debra Weber
Val Sizemore (friday night meal)
