Puerto Rican Chicken

Posted by Mary Leverington  

My daughter's former boyfriend fixed this dish. I modified it and tried (hopefully) to simplify the directions. There's a lot of preparation, but the results are well worth the trouble. It's a garlic lovers dream, but others may want to cut down... MORE»

Beef Tongue & Vegetables

(3 reviews) Posted by Mary Leverington  

I had a college roommate who prepared beef tongue the way her Russian mother and grandmother prepared it before her. I never actually got her recipe, but I found this one out of an old cookbook years ago. This is the traditional method of... MORE»

Ground Pork Sandwiches

(2 reviews) Posted by Mary Leverington  

I did a recipe search for the lowly pork chop sandwich without success. I even did an Internet and a Google search without much information either. I was forced to come up one from memory and from odd bits of information I was able to glean from... MORE»

(13 reviews) Posted by Mary Leverington  

This recipe is dedicated to my niece Ruth who lives in San Diego. When I visit we always drive down to Ensenada for fish tacos. The fish are fried in batter there. I've taken a few liberties and added beer and taco seasoning to the batter. I... MORE»

Israeli Mixed Salad

(1 reviews) Posted by Mary Leverington  

A little time-consuming to prepare, but definitely worth it. You could dress the salad with sour cream, yogurt, or mayonnaise thinned with a little lemon juice instead of the Tahini Cream Salad Dressing if you wish. The Tahini Dressing is... MORE»

Wheat Germ Zucchini Bread

This is the best zucchini bread I've ever made or eaten for that matter. Given to me by a friend years ago. I've lost contact with her now, but not her zucchini bread. Fond memories, both. MORE»

Gingerbread with Lemon Sauce

(1 reviews) Posted by Mary Leverington  

This was my favorite dessert when I was a little girl. I can remember clearly the smell of the gingerbread cooking in the oven--even now the smell bring goose bumps. Having two brothers I had to compete vigorously for my share of seconds. If I... MORE»

Curried Carrot Soup

(7 reviews) Posted by Mary Leverington  

Curry and carrots seem to go together really well so I am contributing my favorite. The curry taste is very strong so you might want to start with one teaspoon and build up to one tablespoon. Use the best curry powder you can find. It makes a big... MORE»

Fried Tofu and Ramen Soup

(2 reviews) Posted by Mary Leverington  

This is a triple soy bonanza. If you have an Asian market near you, get some freshly made tofu. It's wonderful. Sneak around the produce department while you're there and see if you can pick up some soy bean sprouts--much tastier than mung bean... MORE»

Easy Dill Pickles

(3 reviews) Posted by Mary Leverington  

I like this recipe, not only because the pickles are delicious, because the ingredient amounts are accurate and you don't end up with a lot of leftover cucumbers or brine. Also, I always found it difficult to buy 2 quarts of cucumbers. They're... MORE»

German Spareribs and Sauerkraut

(2 reviews) Posted by Mary Leverington  

This scrumptious dish was introduced to me by my German college roommate many years ago. We fixed it in our dorm room, which was verbotten, so I always associate this meal with an electric fry pan. I seem to remember we cooked the potatoes with... MORE»

German Pea Soup

(3 reviews) Posted by Mary Leverington  

What distinguishes this pea soup is the addition of condensed beef broth which makes it much more substantial. It's definitely the main attraction and not merely the first course. Soaking the peas overnight cuts down on the cooking time quite a bit. MORE»

Yorkie Beef Pudding

(1 reviews) Posted by Mary Leverington  

I've had this recipe for years. The original version was in Women's Day magazine, but I've changed it to make it more versitile. I fix it most often to use up leftover beef stew or roast, but I've fixed it from scratch many times as well. Both are... MORE»
