<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Dear Listmates: Happy New Year! Unfortunaely, my computer crashed and although I do have most of my Celiac files backed up, I hadn't backed up recently and lost a recipe that I need and had posted to the list not that long ago. It was for Cranberry salad dressing. I know the ingredients but not the amounts and I am not one of those natural cooks who can just estimate. The ingredients consisted of cranberry sauce, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, pear juice. If someone could send me the recipe, I would greatly appreciate it! I have included a wonderful recipe below for Bean Soup. I recently made it and everyone loved it....except my son's girlfriend who doesn't eat ham or tuna...well, that's another subject. Bean Soup 1 pound of Navy Bean 2 packages of the Manichevitz Bean Soup (i think these packets also give the spices for making bean chili but I discarded these ingredients). hambone with meat 4 quarts of water (use on 3 if only using 1 lb of navy beans) I soaked the means for 24 hours - draining, rinsing and refilling the water several times - this softens the beans and gets rids of the gassiness. drain and rinse beans and place in a large kettle with hambone and water simmer for 2 hours stir in until disolved 1 to 1 1/2 cups mashed potatoes (this thickens the soup) CHOP WELL and add 3 onions, celery (several stacks), 3-4 cloves of garlic, several carrots, 1-2 bay leaves(optional). simmer 1 hour remove bay leaves if used remove and cool bone/meat - cut meat off the bone, cut up and return pieces to soup add 1/4 cup chopped parsley - simmer 1/2 hour -------------------------------------------------- I would like to compile a list of favorite Celiac Recipes. I will post the recipes to the list and also as a link on my homepage once it is complete: http://home.earthlink.net/~dresch178/ Please send me your favorite, tried and true gluten freee recipe. If it's from a cookbook, just document the source and indicate changes that you may have made to the recipe.
