Sour Cream and Pecan Waffles (from Food Network)
From the Kitchen of Meredith

Ingredients
· 1 cup whole milk
· 1 cup sour cream
· 2 eggs
· 3 tablespoons butter, melted
· 1 teaspoon vanilla
· 2 teaspoons baking powder
· 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
· 1 teaspoon baking soda
· 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
· Pinch kosher salt
· 1/2 cup pecans, toasted and chopped fine
Directions
Heat waffle iron. Combine wet ingredients and whisk well to combine. Sift dry ingredients into a large bowl and form a well in the center. Add the wet mixture to the well and fold in with the dry. Don't worry if there are a few lumps. Stir in pecans just before cooking.
When iron is hot, spray lightly with non-stick spray. Spoon 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter onto the center of the iron and cook until a golden brown crust forms.

Raspberry Sauce:
Two pints of raspberries
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon sugar (I think I put this in, might have to make it again to make sure!!!)
½ cup of water
Combine ingredients, simmer until thickened.

Hamburgers!!!!

Hamburger recipe:
From the Kitchen of Sarah

The recipe is basically this:

Two pounds lean ground beef
1 egg
1/4 of a yellow onion finely chopped
1 small can of jalapenos in vinegar roughly chopped reserve 1/4 cup liquid
1/2 cup dijon or regular mustard
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tsp of garlic powder
2 Tbsp of salt
1/2 Tbsp of pepper

Mix all the ingredients and form into 6 patties and grill on an indoor grill like a george foreman or spray pam on a nonstick cooking pan and cook until well done. Serve on sesame seed buns with lettuce, tomato slices, onions and cheddar cheese.

Instead of french fries you can julienne celery sticks, red, orange and yellow bell peppers and baby carrots and serve with onion dip.

Put two scoops vanilla ice cream in a red wine glass and pour rootbeer over ice cream for each guest. Top with whipped cream from a can and sprinkles and garnished with half a sugar cookie.

Split Pea Soup

Split Pea Soup
From the Kitchen of Stacey

16 oz dried green peas, rinsed (practical tip...rinsing the night before may result in a 16 oz brick of dried peas the next morning)
1 meaty ham bone (optional)
3 carrots
2 stalks chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup fresh parsley (or two tsp dried)
<1 tbsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 1/2 quarts hot water or broth (I use water with the ham bone and chicken stock when I leave out the ham)

Soak peas in water overnight (or just throw them in dry and cook longer). Add the other ingredients and cook until the peas are soft and the ham falls off of the bone. Set aside the ham and about a cup of the peas for texture. Blend the rest of the ingredients and mix them with the ham and peas. Viola, you have split pea soup!

*If starting with dried peas, cook on high 4-5 hrs or low 8-10 hrs.
**A good crock pot recipe.
