Four Foods on Friday #15
Val picked some very good questions for her Four Foods on Friday Meme.
#1. What is your favorite kind of cheese for snacking?
#2. What is your favorite kind of jelly?
#3. Yogurt. Regular or custard style?
#4. Share a recipe for a stew or soup.
I love a good cheddar cheese fixed along side celery and peanut butter. I love grape jelly. I even tried to make it once but it didn’t turn out. We had grape juice instead. I don’t care too much for yogurt. I think what I eat, when I have to, is regular style.
My husband made a wonderful pot of vegetable beef stew on Wednesday. I have no recipe this time!
[...] Karen likes to snack on cheddar with celery and peanut butter. She’s crafty, like her sister Lynne. Check out the Elvis purse she made this week! [...]
my husband needs to take a lesson from your husband and cook dinner every now and again!

I think grape jelly would be hard to make. I like making freezer strawberry jam, very easy!
BTW, did you do anything to my header yesterday? The search box and the words “you are here” are now in very funky places, below the header (over the calendar). I can’t figure out how to get ‘em back to where there supposed to be.
I am very lucky, Corrin. My husband loves to cook. He wishes he could have gone to culinary school.
I have made strawberry freezer jam a few times. It is so yummy. I will look at your blog in a few minutes.
1–Jarslberg, when I can afford it. Other than that, cream cheese on crackers
2–Homemade strawberry jam (from my mom)
3–Regular–cherry Dannon rules
4–Grandma’s Vegetable Soup:
Soup Bones//chuck roast//2 1/2 C celery//2 medium onions//1/2 head of cabbage//2 medium potatoes//1 large can diced tomatoes
My mom says, “start with soup bones, and I watch for a chuck roast to go on sale.”
Cut up the roast (remove most of the fat). Boil the bone and the meat for a few hours. Put it in jars and refrigerate overnight. This will let you take off a layer of fat from the top. Then cut up the vegetables into small pieces–whatever size you like. Strain the broth, throw out the bones, and throw the broth and meat into a big pot. Add the vegetables. Add the tomatoes. Cook it all up. (My mom puts in the meat at the last minute but I put it in from the beginning.)
This is especially good with saltine crackers. And even kids who don’t like vegetables seem to like this soup, because of it’s mild flavor!

I really like the cottage cheese
I am not a jelly fan
Regular style custard is what I like.
Recipes and kitchen.. i stay away from these
I like Danish Blue Cheese and strawberry jelly. I like custard style yoghurt. My favorite soup is French onion soup:
3 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil, 4 large onions, sliced, 2 cloves garlic, minced, 2 tablespoons flour, 3 cups beef stock, 1 cup dry white wine, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 bay leaf, salt & pepper to taste, 6 slices crusty French bread, 3 tablespoons butter, 3 cups grated Swiss cheese. Saute onions in oil in Dutch oven over low heat until tender and golden yellow, about 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle flour over onions; cook a few minutes more, browning the flour well. Add stock and wine and bring to boil; add thyme and bay leaf. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer gently for 20 minutes or so. Add salt and pepper to taste. Meanwhile, spread bread slices with butter and toast under the broiler, watching carefully to avoid burning. When soup is ready, spoon into 6 ovenproof bowls; top each with a slice of toast. Divide cheese evenly into 6 portions and sprinkle one portion over toast in each bowl. Place bowls on cookie sheet and bake in 400F oven for 10 to 15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
do you have any recipes for jelly without sugar as i am a diabetic
No, Snes, I am sorry that I don’t. You should check with Val, the host of Four Foods for Friday.
Yummm! That sounds wonderful Info. I am going to have to give that recipe to my husband. Thanks.
I too, like custard. Custard style yogurt, I am not sure about. LOL I love your attitude about recipes and kitchens.
The cheese caught my attention!
Do you know whats really good with cheddar cheese?
Sliced red bell pepper!
With thin sliced smoked turkey,rolled up with the cheese and pepper inside.

Oh wow. I’d never thought about red bell pepper. My husband has been throwing them on the grill. I never knew how sweet they were. Good idea.
