This is another Rachael Ray recipe that I changed a teeny bit to make my own.
First of all, she calls it "stoup," as in, thicker than soup but thinner than stew. That word sets my teeth on edge, so it's just a thick soup.

My mother is a reader of Woman's Day Magazine (whose recipes I usually love) and she passed on these 2 ingredient recipe cards to me. Sure, some of them are a little odd and I will probably never, ever attempt, but there were a few that immediately grabbed my attention and I can't wait to try out! (Pineapple with coconut sorbet...:DROOL:)
If you want the actually cards to print out and some additional ideas: http://www.womansday.com/food/6577/2-ingredient-recipe-cards.html, http://www.womansday.com/food/6373/none.html
Appetizers
Marinate mixed olives (jar) with freshly grated peel and juice from 1 lemon in refrigerator at least 24 hours.

By JOYCE WADLER (New York Times)
Published: April 1, 2009
AT a time when life in America is beginning to resemble a roller-coaster ride on the way down and everyone is trying to find ways to save money, it may be instructive — both in terms of offering helpful hints and putting things in perspective — to look at how people ran their households during the Great Depression.
Memories from the Great Depression seem more relevant today than ever. The New York Times is starting a series of video conversations about that painful past and the uncertain future.

White Bean Escarole Soup
adapted from Enchanted Broccoli Forest by Mollie Katzen
The recipe calls for escarole, but you can substitute any green - spinach, kale, chard, collards - or a combination. You can use canned white beans (2 15-oz. cans, rinsed thoroughly) or dried beans (start with 1-1/2 cups).

We're having friends over for dinner this weekend and are considering making a big Mexican feast. But our Mexican culinary knowledge doesn't go far beyond tacos, fajitas, and black bean soup.
Do any of you have any good Mexican recipes to share?

I spent yesterday sitting at home, nursing a sinus infection and wondering what I could possibly have for lunch with the few staples we still actually have in our chicken. For whatever reason (probably because I was cold) I really wanted some soup. Chicken noodle soup, to be exact.
