  • Tom Kuay (Thai Banana Soup)

    After the CBC team followed Ryan and me on a dumpster run, I was contacted by another dumpster diver who wanted to ask a few questions and we ended up swapping some recipes. When you end up with a bumper crop of bananas, you need some creative ways to use them all because you can only eat so much banana bread! This recipe came from her.

  • Eggplant Parmesan

    This one was a favorite for a while and we served it to many guests. I think it originated in the More WIth Less Cookbook.

  • Zucchini Jam

    This is good with Pineapple, apricot, or peach Jello.

  • Thousand Island Pickles

    I got this recipe from mom, who said she got it from Jane.  I have made a lot of batches of these.  I can almost taste how good pork roast marinated in juice from these pickles then baked in the oven tasted.

  • Salsa

    For Christmas 1994 Jonathan gave Elbert a gift he really enjoyed.  It was a bag of potting soil, 12 pots, and a note telling him that each month he would receive some seeds.  As a bonus, he got some for that month as well.  They were for “hot peppers”.  Those hot peppers were his most treasured plants.  They were started in the house, then transplanted and kept on the deck for the summer.  Elbert watched them closely, then harvested the 14 peppers that were produced.  In the late fall, he and Gwen chopped them up for a triple recipe of this salsa.
