Alcy's Luncheon December 5, 2008


BEET SALAD

Marinate 3 cans beets in 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar & 3 Tablespoons honey.

Marinate over night. Drain. Serve on lettuce with chopped dates, crystallized nuts grated cheese of choice, Pecorino Romano.
Use your dressing of choice. I used Hellman’s Ranch.

Alcy’s Walnut Butter Crunch (Toppings)

2 cups walnuts

¼ cup butter

½ cup sugar

1 Tablespoon corn syrup

Have greased cookie sheet ready

Combine all ingredients in heavy 10" skillet. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly
until nuts and mixture turn golden brown. About 5-6 minutes. Spread on cookie sheet.
Cool until firm. Break into pieces or chop.

I used this recipe for the walnut toppings on my salad for the luncheon.

Alcy’s Notes

If you would like to make candy out of this add 1 cup walnuts or 1 cup almonds

And do the recipe the same…the only change is the amount of nuts.




BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP

Cut squash into pieces.

Add water in pan to top of squash. Add 1 or more cubes of butter, and then add salt pepper, garlic granules or minced garlic. Add two chopped onions and some chicken soup base or chicken stock.

Boil until soft. Do NOT drain. Put in blender. When squash is all smooth, add 1 can condensed milk. (I used fat free.)

Add Chicken soup base or chicken broth.



Some candy that Alcy made. Also chocolate
covered prunes. YUM...
