Hi everyone!
I have began typing in recipes. I have included my favorites such as borscht and cinnamon popcorn. Thank you to all who have submitted recipes so far. Hope you don't mind, but I am including your blog so that people can go and check out who submitted what recipe.
Honestly, only about 20 people have submitted recipes and I need closer to 100 as long as they submit more than one recipe. If they only submit one, then I need closer to 150 people.
If you have a favorite recipe that you want to share, please do.
Thanks!

Granny Rose's Peanut Butter Flapjacks
My great granny lived in Henlow Camp, Bedfordshire, UK during WWII. There were a lot of GIs there who could get them American foods to supliment their rations. She invented this flapjack recipe to make her butter go further.
Ingridients
3 oz butter
3 oz crunchy peanut butter
4 oz soft brown sugar
3 oz golden syrup
1/2 s teaspoon almond essence/vanilla essence or 2 drops of vanilla extract
8oz rolled oats
Set oven to 200C then turn down to 160 C when they go in.
Melt butter and sugar in a pan on a low heat. Add golden syrup, peanut butter and almond essence. Add the rolled oats and mix well.
Put into a 7" x 7" baking tin and cook for 15 - 20 mins or until it is a dark golden brown colour. Take it out and mark into squares. When it is cool take the squares out of the tin.
If you're increasing the recipe the most to multiply it by is probably 4. The recipe is in Oz because she wrote it that way. I'm sure you can convert it to cups easily if you want.
Enjoy
Love,
Claire

Hi Christine,
I have two I'd like to share. They aren't the most eloquent, but they are two of my favorites from my mom and whenever I'm at her house, I always ask for one or the other. They are essentially one pot meals - except for the added noodles/rice.
1) Slop (no really...it tastes great)
1 lb. ground beef (or you can use ground turkey)
1/2 - 1 onion, sliced
1 can stewed tomatoes
Cooked noodles, any kind you'd like
Salt/pepper to taste
Brown the ground beef fully. Drain off excess liquid. Add onions and slightly sweat them. Add tomatoes; when doing so, crushed the stewed tomatoes through your fingers. Allow the mixture to cook for 15 - 30 minutes. While doing this, cook the noodles. Drain the noodles and combine with the beef mixture. Serve immediately and enjoy!
*You can add other things too - garlic, peppers, etc.
2) Beef Mexicana
1 lb. ground beef (or turkey)
1 can corn, drained
1 can tomato sauce (or you can used diced for a thinner, chunkier sauce)
Sprinkles of chili powder and cayenne pepper
Rice
Brown ground beef fully. Drain excess liquid. Add the tomato sauce, corn, chili powder, and cayenne. Let simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until rice is done (my rice cooker takes about 20 minutes). Cook rice. Put rice in bowl and layer with beef mixture. Enjoy!
Hope these help you out. Let me know if you have any questions. They're really easy and can also be used for large groups. Just up the amount of ingredients. Each of these, as written, serve about 4. My blog address is twopathsdivergeinawood.blogspot.com if you'd like to include it.
This is not my own created recipe... but a family favorite. I don't remember where it came from. I also don't have an active blog...
Ingredients
1 1/3 cups olive oil
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups sugar
3 large eggs
3 to 4 Granny Smith apples, cored and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (3 cups)
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9x13 pyrex pan.
In a large bowl sift together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine vegetable oil, sugar, and eggs; mix on high speed until lemon yellow.
Gradually shake in dry ingredients until just incorporated.
Add apples and, if desired, nuts, to batter; mix to combine. Add vanilla, mixing until incorporated.
Pour batter into prepared pan, and bake until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 75 to 90 minutes.
Remove from oven, and cool slightly on a wire rack.
Invert cake onto rack; turn cake right-side up to cool completely on rack
Our version of Crock-Pot Nachos:
1/2 lb of ground chuck (we rarely eat red meat so this is all that I use, but you could use more)
1 can whole kernel corn (drained)
1 can beans (kidney, black, whatever your favorite) drained and rinsed
1 can tomatoes (diced, stewed, however...)
1 pack taco seasoning (per amount of meat)
1 cup water
My ground chuck was frozen when I started so I just threw it in, added the canned items, emptied the seasoning on top, threw in the water, covered, set it on high. 4 hours later, stir, add another 1/2 cup of water and it was ready.Served in bowls with nacho chips (we like *Scoops*) on the bottom, spooned mixture over the chips, added shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream.
Here's a recipe for the cookbook--it's taco soup, a favorite of my family's.
1-1/2 pounds ground beef
1 envelope taco seasoning
2 cans (15-1/4 oz. each) whole kernel corn, undrained
2 cans (15 oz. each) ranch-style beans, undrained
2 cans (14-1/2 oz. each) diced tomatoes, undrained
Crushed tortilla chips and shredded cheddar cheese
In a Dutch oven or large saucepan, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in taco seasoning, corn, beans and tomatoes. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally. Place tortilla chips in soup bowls; ladle soup over chips. Sprinkle with cheese. Yield: 8-10 servings (about 2 quarts).
Yum!
Also, I have two blogs--joycarolinelive4Him.blogspot.com is my blog about my life; and joy-cookingwithjoy.blogspot.com is my cooking blog (I just began it a few days ago, so it doesn't have much yet).
Peppermint Popcorn Bark
2 bags microwave popcorn, popped (18-20 cups)
1 6oz box candy canes, crushed
1 package Almond Bark
1 tsp peppermint extract or a few drops of peppermint oil
Place popcorn in a very large bowl - the biggest one you have. Pour crushed candy canes on top of the popcorn. (I crush my candy canes in the food processor - it is quick and it pulverizes the candy canes!) Melt almond bark according to instructions on the package. Add the peppermint extract or oil to the almond bark and pour over popcorn. Stir until all the popcorn is coated. Pour popcorn on wax paper and allow to harden. Once the popcorn has hardened, break into pieces and enjoy!

Christine,
Can I email them to you?
Thanks!

This recipe is famous in my hometown in the Arkansas Delta. A favorite in the school cafeteria and everyone I know still craves them 20+ years after graduating school. They are not fancy, but feed a crowd, would be good for your family Christine - Average sized family I'd half it. I don't know why it's called "German" I suppose because it has cabbage in it.
GERMAN BURGERS
2 Lb ground beef
2 c cabbage, grated
2 onions, grated
2 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 small can tomato paste
1/2 c catsup/ketchup
salt and pepper
yeast dough
Brown meat; drain and season. Saute onion in small amount of fat; add cabbage and continue cooking and turning until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain. Combine meat, worcestershire sauce, tomato paste and catsup. Add cabbage and onions. Cool. Roll yeast dough to about 4 inches square. Put 1/4 cup meat mixture in center of square. Bring up edges of dough; seal to form bun. Place in greased baking pan; lightly spread butter on each bun. Let rise 30 minutes. Bake at 350 about 30 min.
I suppose you could use frozen bread dough. The one and only time I ever made these I used the dough setting on the bread machine.
Greek Potatoes
--Peel and cube potatoes (we use a 5 lb bag at a time) Any potatoes will work, but we prefer red
--Spread potatoes on a foil-lined cookie sheet or casserole dish
--Slice 1 1/2 sticks of butter and put on top of potatoes
--Shake Greek Seasoning generously on potatoes
--Bake at 400 degrees for 50 minutes
--Pull pan from oven, sprinkle parmesan cheese over potatoes, generously, and return to oven for 20 minutes or until potatoes are soft
Mexican Soup
Mix the following ingredients together and heat in crockpot or on the stove until cheese is melted:
--Family size can of Chicken and Rice Soup
--1 cup of shredded, cooked chicken (canned or leftovers work great)
--3 oz can of chopped green chiles
--8 oz Velveeta cheese (Mexican if you like spicy or original if you don't)
Shepherd's Pie
--Brown 1 lb ground beef with half a packet of dry McCormick's Meatloaf Seasoning
--Drain meat and pour into casserole dish
--Add 1 can of kernel corn (drained) and one can of Cream of Mushroom Soup to meat, stir
--Spread a thick layer of mashed potatoes on top of meat mixture (use 8-10 servings, if using mashed potato flakes)
--Cover mashed potatoes with grated Cheddar Cheese
--Heat at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until cheese is golden
I love what you're doing! I never work from recipes...usually just throw together what we have and try to recreate it again if we end up liking it. So, I have a ton of yummy dishes, but it's a little tricky figuring out the measurements to write a recipe.

I don't have any really special family recipes... but I have an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe that I love :)
-1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
-1 cup butter or margarine, softened
-1 teaspoon vanilla
-1 egg
-2 cups quick-cooking oats
-1 1/2 cups all purpose flour or unbleached flour
-1 teaspoon baking soda
-1/4 teaspoon salt
-1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (6 oz)
-1 cup chopped nuts if desired (I prefer walnuts)
Heat oven to 350F. In large bowl, stir brown sugar and butter until blended. Stir in vanilla and egg until light and fluffy. Stir in oats, flour, baking soda and salt; stir in chocolate chips and nuts. Onto ungreased cookie sheet, drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart. Bake 9-11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.
The dough can be frozen for up to 9 months. I just made some cookies from the frozen dough after it being frozen for 3 months and they tasted great :)
The recipe is from Betty Crocker so I'm not sure if you want to include it...

Alphamama’s Plov
•Prep Time: 1 hr.
•Total Time: 2 hrs
•Serves: 8-10
I have 5 teenagers and they all love to eat, so hearty one dish meals are a must in our house. Since 4 of our 5 kids were born in Kazakhstan and the rest of us spent a fair amount of time there during our adoptions, we have fond memories of the foods of KZ. One of our favorites is a variation of the traditional meat and rice pilaf dish which is much loved in many of the former Soviet Republics. It’s healthy, filling, and delicious. It takes a bit of time to prep but can be made in advance and reheats well. I serve it right from the Dutch oven with crusty bread and a salad on the side…and there are rarely any leftovers!
Ingredients
o2 lbs Basmati brown rice, pre-cooked for 30 mimutes
o1-32oz. box of beef stock
o2 to 4 carrots, grated
o2 onions, chopped
o3-4 lbs beef or lamb, cubed
o1/2 cup Canola oil
o1 tablespoon kosher salt
o½ cup frozen peas (optional)
oPine nuts (garnish)
oFresh parsley or dill (garnish)
Directions
1.Cut beef or lamb into small cubes (about 1”)
2.Fry meat in 1/4 cup Canola oil until browned.
3.Remove meat to a plate and keep warm.
4.Add grated carrots and sauté in meat drippings for 5-10 minutes.
5.Add chopped onions and sauté with carrots they start to carmelize (5-10 minutes).
6.Put meat in first, then onions and carrots in layers in a large oven-proof pot or Dutch oven.
7.Add 1/4 cup Canola oil and bring it to a boil..
8.Add 1 cup beef broth, bring it to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer for 15-20 minutes.
9.Add pre-cooked brown rice as final layer on top of meat and veggies in Dutch oven.
10.Add kosher salt and enough additional beef broth to just cover rice; bring it to a boil.
11.Cover with lid and put in the oven for about 50-55 minutes at 350°F.
12.When done, remove from oven, add frozen peas, and stir to combine layers.
13.Garnish with pine nuts, parsley, dill, or herbs of your choice and serve.
Enjoy!

Hi Christine. This is not a family recipe but a very popular New Zealand dessert
Pavalova
Prep time: 40 minutes
Cook time: 1 hour
Servings: 1 pavlova
Ingredients:
3 Egg Whites
1 cup caster sugar
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 tablespoon cornflour
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
Directions:
Beat egg whites until stiff (forms peaks). Add sugar - heaped tablespoon at a time - beating well after each addition. Then beat for at least 10 minutes. This is very important. Then sprinkle vinegar, cornflour and vanilla essence into mixture. Beat until blended.
Coat baking paper with water drops to allow baking paper to stick to sides of tin and pile pavlova mixture in 20cm circle.
Heat oven until 300°F (or 150°C). Put pav in oven and immediately turn oven down to 250°F (or 125°C) and leave for 1 hour. Then turn oven off and leave in oven until cold. This makes a nice crust on outside of pav.

I have never given this recipe to anyone. It's simple but amazing. So here it is.
Shea's coveted lasagna recipe
9 lasagna noodles
1 small can of tomato sauce(4 ounces I think)
1 jar chunky/garden vegetable spaghetti sauce
2 packages of Italian blend shredded cheese
1 clove garlic chopped or garlic powder( I prefer 2 cloves :)
1-2 pounds of extra lean ground beef or turkey(depends how big you want it)
16 ounces of small curd cottage cheese
Cook noodles, cook hamburger with garlic, after hamburger is done add all ingredients except noodles, small can of tomato sauce, and reserve 1/2 bag of shredded cheese for topping. Spread small can of tomato sauce on bottom of pan, then layer 3 noodles and put a layer of meat mixture on top, add noodles, repeat meat mixture, add noodles repeat meat mixture, add noodles, repeat meat mixture and then layer the 1/2 bag of cheese on top.
Bake at 350 until bubbly, about 30-45 mins. Let sit at least 15 minutes before cutting, or it will fall apart. Variations: You can do half sausage and hamburger if you like. If you have a little alfredo sauce to mix in, it is wonderful too. All of my children can make this recipe and they LOVE to layer the meat mixture and tell everyone they made dinner themselves.

2) In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and butter. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder, add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Finally stir in the milk until batter is smooth. Pour or spoon batter into the prepared pan.
3) Bake for 30 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven. Cake is done when it springs back to the touch.
