Jenny's Chicken and Noodles

 

I stewing chicken, boiled in water with celery, onion, garlic, salt and pepper, boned.  Strain the chicken broth in which the chicken was cooked and set aside.

 

2 large onions, chopped

2 tbsp. parsley, snipped

1 tsp.  dried thyme, crushed; or a handful of fresh thyme

1/2 tsp.  pepper

 

1 pkg. (12 oz.) Reames® Home Style Egg Noodles  (from your grocer's frozen food case)

 

Fresh mixed vegetables - whatever appeals. I use carrots, celery, mushrooms and frozen peas, pre-cooked.

 

2 cups milk

3 tbsp Corn Starch

 

Preparation:   Sauté onion and celery until clear. Place diced chicken, chicken broth, onion, celery, parsley, thyme, pepper, in large Dutch oven. Bring to boil. Add noodles and other vegetables. Return to boil. Simmer covered for 20 to 25 minutes or until noodles are almost tender. Combine 1/2 cup milk and three tablespoons of corn starch, mix until smooth. Add to noodle mixture. Add remaining milk. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly.

 

Wonderful on a cold day with homemade bread and butter and a salad.

 

Louise's Potato Salad

 

This is probably the most authentic recipe in the bunch... passed from Lauren's mother to her only daughter, Marilee. It's truly one of those that you adjust to suit your tastes!

 

"I make 5 boiled eggs / potatoes with one medium red onion (chopped), 1 tsp salt, chopped sweet and dill pickles (enough to be colorful), and about 1 cup of a mixture of mustard and Miracle Whip (amounts depend on your taste).  Enjoy!!"

Bob Robbins' Dill Pickles

 

Bob Robbins is Jerome Robbins' son. This recipe is from Nancy King.

 

1 qt jar

½ cup vinegar

1 tablespoon canning salt

1 teaspoon of Dill Weed

 

Place dill, garlic, hot peppers of choice (optional) in bottom of jar add salt and vinegar.  Finish filling jar with warm water, seal jars and process by placing in pan filled with water to top of jar.  Bring to boil 5 to 10 minutes.  Remove from hot water and set to cool off.  You will hear the lids pop as the jars cool they will seal their selves.  You can make one to as many jars as you wish and as Uncle Bob told me you can use this recipe with squash, onions, cucumbers and different type vegetables of your choice.  It is a real simple recipe and the flavor is really great especially if you use fresh dill.
