Jamboree from Terri W.

My mom used to make this.  It is a very simple recipe and pretty good.  Beats fast food.
 
One bag of small macaroni shells
Cook per instructions.
 
2 large cans of tomato soup
1 pound of lean ground beef
 
Fry ground beef until completely cooked.
Add to cooked (and drained)  shells.
Add tomato soup….do not add water.
Add spices as desired…salt, pepper or Mrs. Dash - whatever
 
If there are left over's, to reheat add more tomato soup depending on the amount you are heating up.  You want to just enough to make it moist again.  If you add water it really changes the taste…(and not for the good!)
Serve with butter bread.

breakfast.

Cook hash brown potatoes following package instructions. Cook bacon,
drain, break in half and place on top of potatoes. Top with a slice
of tomato, poached egg and Hollandaise sauce. Great served with fruit.

Zucchini Relish from Kathryn G.



This is not a hard relish to make but does take some time.  A recipe from a very good friend of ours, it is a great way to use up some of that zucchini from the summer.  It freezes well and keeps indefinitely!!  My family loves it and friends enjoy it too.
