Potato Hash with TVP
Submitted by Brandie
6 servings
1/2 cup TVP granules
1/3 cup hot water
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
3 large potatoes, grated
1 small onion, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons canola oil
Mix hot water, soy sauce and TVP let stand 10 minutes. Mix with potatoes,
onions and salt. Heat skillet, add oil and fry hash until lightly browned
and potatoes are tender, turning as it browns.
Potato Yeast
Found at Food Storage and Supplies
Boil one quart of Irish potatoes in three quarts of water. When done,
take out the potatoes, one by one, on a fork, peel and mash them fine,
in a tray, with a large iron spoon, leaving the boiling water on the stove
during the process. Throw in this water a handful of hops, which must scald,
not boil, as it turns the tea very dark to let the hops boil. Add
to the mashed potatoes a heaping teacupful of powdered white sugar (I think
that this is probably granulated sugar) and half a teacupful of salt; then
slowly stir in the strained hop tea, so that there will be no lumps. When
milk-warm, add a teacupful of yeast (a starter left from a previous batch,
so that it will be ready sooner. Since you don't have a starter, it will
take two or three days in a warm spot for this to start 'working') and
pour into glass fruit jars, or large clear glass bottles to ferment, being
careful not to close them tightly. Set in a warm place in winter, a cool
one in summer. In six hours, it will be ready for use and at the end of
that time the jar must be securely closed. This yeast will keep two weeks
in winter and one week in summer.
Cheese And Rice
4 1/2 Oz Dehydrated Cheddar Cheese
3 3/4 Oz Instant Rice
2 Tbsp Margarine
Salt -- to taste
3 C Water
1. Bring water to a boil and add rice and salt. Simmer until rice is
tender.
2. Stir in cheese and margarine. Cover the pot and let stand a couple
of minutes to rehydrate the cheese. Makes about 4 cups.
Rice Pudding
1 C. of white rice
1 C. of sugar
about a 1/2 Gal of milk (whole or 2%)
Combine the rice and the sugar in a double boiler and cover with milk.
Keep the double boiler going and continue to cover with milk (check it
about every 1/2 hour). This whole process will take about 5 hours until
it is tender, but it is definitely worth it!! Sprinkle with cinnamon and
(if you want) raisins.
Rolled Oats Griddle Cakes
2 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 tbs hot water
1 tsp baking powder
2 1/2 cups buttermilk
2 eggs, beaten
2 tbs margarine, melted
1 cup sugar
Soak oats in buttermilk overnight. Then add rest of ingredients and
stir well. Cook batter as pancakes.
Savory Dumplings
2 C Master Mix -- see recipe
3/4 C Water
** Savory Dumplings **
1 Tbsp Instant Minced Onions -- toasted or plain
2 Tbsp Dried Parsley
1/2 Tsp Sage
** Cheese Dumplings **
1/4 C Powdered Cheddar Cheese, Or
1/4 C Parmesan Cheese -- grated
1/4 tsp Oregano
1. Mix ingredients and add water, as needed, to make a stiff dough.
2. Spoon out dough by teaspoon and drop into gently simmering soup
or stew.
3. Cover the pan and simmer gently until dumplings have risen and are
cooked in the center, about 5-10 minutes.
Try varying seasonings, as with biscuits, for different flavors.
Rosehip Tea
Rosehip Tea Collect the rosehips from the rose bushes, either wild or
domestic, at the end of the summer. Dry the herbs or use them fresh, approximately
one tablespoon per cup of water. Boil the water desired, remove from heat
and add the rose hips and steep 20 minutes. Add honey to taste.
Soda Crackers
4 cups flour
1 cup butter (or margarine)
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vinegar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Work the butter into the flour with a pastry cutter or fork. Next, stir
the vinegar, baking soda, and salt into the milk, and add this to
the butter-flour mixture. Form the dough into a ball. Roll out to a thickness
of about 1/5 inch...very thin. Lightly score the dough in the size of the
cracker you desire. I've come up with an easy way to do this. I roll out
the dough directly onto a flat baking sheet. Next, placing a ruler on the
dough, I perforate the dough along the side of the ruler with a fork. Sometimes
I make squares, sometimes diamonds. I think you could cut out the crackers
with cookie cutters for special occasions, but you will have a lot of waste
unless you gather up the fragments and re-roll and re-cut them. Now bake
the crackers at 375* for about 20 minutes or until crisp. The crackers
should not get too brown, just a sprinkling of brown on top.
Sourdough Pancakes
2 cups sourdough starter
2 cups lukewarm water
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tbs sugar
1/4 cups evaporated milk
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda

Combine first three ingredients in large pot, cover and let stand overnight.
Add remaining ingredients, let stand 5minutes, then ladle onto hot griddle
and enjoy.
Sourdough Starter
1qt lukewarm water
1 pkg dry active yeast
2 tsp sugar
4 cups flour
Put water in 1/2 gal jar, add yeast and sugar to soften, stir in flour.
Cover with a clean cloth. Let rise until mixture is light and slightly
aged, about 2 days. Mixture will thin as it stands; add flour as needed.
As you use starter, replace with equal amounts of flour and water.
Spicy Tomato Soup
2 Oz Tomato Crystals
2 Oz Chicken Bouillon Granules, Or
5 Ea Chicken Bouillon Cubes
1/2 Tsp Sugar
1/4 Tsp Basil
1 Tsp Instant Minced Onion, Or
1 Tsp Freeze-Dried Chives
1 Pkg Lemon Crystals
1 Tsp Dried Parsley
3 C Water

cold water.

Split Pea Soup
Submitted by M. McFarlane
1. 1 ½ cups split peas
4 ½ cups water
Put the peas and water in a large soup pot, bring to a boil, and simmer
for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, cover and let stand for 1 hour.
2. 6 cups water
1 onion, chopped
2 cups cooked ham, cubed, or shaved & finely chopped (approximately
- more or less to your own preference) Chicken soup base (e.g.. OXO cubes
or liquid - enough to give good flavor to the water in the pot) Add the
additional water, onion, ham and soup base to the soup pot. Bring back
to a boil, and simmer about 1 hour, or until peas are quite soft.
3. 3 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
1 ½ cup milk
In a small saucepan melt the butter and stir in the flour. Cook for
a minute or two and then add the milk, whisking to keep it smooth. Cook
this sauce until it thickens, and then whisk it into the soup. Whisk the
soup well, and cook it a couple of minutes more. (The whisking should result
in the peas and onions becoming more or less pureed, which is what you
want.)
Note: This soup is quite good, and makes a large quantity. For the ham,
I used a small black forest ham, and cubed it into ½ inch pieces.
The original Fanny Farmer recipe didn't call for ham, but used salt pork
instead.
Stir Crazy Cake
2 1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup oil

ungreased Dutch oven. Stir with a fork to mix; form 3 wells in flour mixture.
Pour oil into one well, vinegar in one, and vanilla in one. Pour cold coffee
over all ingredients and stir with fork until well mixed. Combine remaining
sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over batter. Bake in Dutch oven for 34-45
minutes.
Taco Bean Soup

8 oz tomato sauce (or 1 cup water and 1/2 cup tomato powder, mixed)
1/2 envelop taco seasoning
1 1/2 cup water

or more. Serve over corn or tortilla chips - or

Do not brown tortilla. Layer cooked tortilla with paper towels. Makes about
20 tortillas.
TVP
Textured vegetable protein or TVP is made from soybeans after the oil
is extracted. You may know this nutritious product as seasoned "bacon bits"
or "hamburger helper." It's available in granules or chunks in many different
flavors . Pour 7/8 cup of hot water over 1 cup granules to reconstitute,
then use in recipes as you'd use ground meat. It has a long shelf life.
