Lentil Soup Recipe

This is an original recipe that Bekah made up years ago. There really isn't a recipe to follow. This never comes out the same every time we make it. No matter what we add or omit it comes out tasting great. So onto the recipe for this pot of soup.
I used a whole bag of dried lentils. Make sure you rinse and go through them to remove little rocks and twigs. I used 8 hot dogs sliced. I used 1/2 medium onion, chopped. 2-3 ribs of celery, chopped, about a handful of baby carrots, diced, 2.5 quarts beef broth and the following herbs parsley, basil, thyme, marjoram, salt and black pepper. I throw it all together into the slow cooker and let it cook on low all day. I would guess the amount of herbs I used would be about a tablespoon of each. Salt maybe a 1/2 teaspoon and about a teaspoon of black pepper.
I hope you give this a try and let me know what you think.
Until next time enjoy your day.

Mac 'N Beef Recipe

 I am not sure where I got this recipe. I like this one because again it is fast and easy. Pictured above is everything you will need for this recipe. 1 pound of hamburger; 1/2 cup chopped onions ( I used dried onions); 1 can tomato soup; 1 minced garlic clove ( I used 1 heaping teaspoon of minced garlic); 1/2 can water; 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce ( or as much as you like); 2 teaspoons of prepared mustard; generous dash black pepper; 2 cups cooked elbow macaroni ( 1 cup uncooked)

 In a 10 inch skillet cook beef and onion until beef is browned and onion is tender, stirring to separate meat. Spoon off fat. Add remaining ingredients. Heat through. Serves 4

I served it with some wax beans. This is a quick meal and good.
I hope you give this recipe a try and as usual let me know what you think.
Until next time enjoy your day.

Teriyaki Chicken Recipe

 This is the last recipe I got from my friend. She taught a class for the women of our church and this was one of the recipes. Again I am not sure where she got it. What you see above is everything you will need for this recipe. I made a few changes and I will tell you what those are after the original recipe. For this recipe you will need the following. 3 chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces; 1 cup teriyaki sauce; 1 cup water; 2/3 cup brown sugar; 3 cloves garlic, minced; a few sprinkles of ginger. Now for the changes. I just used two big chicken breasts and I didn't cut them up. I also used the whole 10 oz. bottle of teriyaki no reason to save just a little.

 Here you see how everything looks before I turn on the slow cooker. You will cook this on low for 4-6 hours. You can also throw everything into a freezer bag and freeze it.

 This is what it looks like when it is done.

I served this with stuffing and peas. I needed something fast because of a busy.
I hope you give this recipe a try and let me know what you think.
Until next time enjoy your day.

David's 8th Grade Graduation

 On Thursday the 30th of May David Graduated from 8th grade. Here is a small video of the eighth graders walking into the gym. I didn't realize that they had started so I missed a few of the kids.

 Here David is getting his certificate of completion. You can't here the announcement vey well.

You already saw this photo since I posted on the day of graduation. He isn't to happy with me because I made him wait to change his clothes. We went to Golden Coral for his lunch and then went to a movie. He wanted to see John Wick Chapter 3.
