This is what I eat when my stomach is upset but I love it.
One cup of white rice
2 cups of water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 tablespoon butter
1/2 pound of 90% lean hamburger
Boil the water
Add the salt, butter and rice
Cover and cook on low for about ten minutes or until the rice is done
Set aside.
Brown and crumble the hamburg
Salt to your taste
Add the rice and mix together.
This is a very old cure that I remember my Mom making for me.
I don’t know if it works but it is good.
This is another shortbread recipe that I love because it is two bites and I don’t have to melt chocolate.
1 cup unsalted butter
2/3 cup sifted powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon real vanilla extract
1/2 cup sifted corn starch
1 1/2 cups sifted flour
One cup chocolate chips or more
Beat the butter till fluffy
Add the sugar and beat till smooth
Add the flour, vanilla and corn starch
Beat until a nice dough forms
Roll out in between two pieces of plastic wrap about 1/4 inch thick
Try to roll it out to a square or rectangle
Place in the refrigerator until the dough is firm.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees
Line the cookie sheet with a silpac
Remove the dough from the refrigerator
Cut the dough into one inch by one inch squares
Place them on the pan
Decorate each with the chocolate chips.
I used four chips but made some with one chip and both looked great.
Bake until the cookies are light brown on the bottom about 15 to 18 minutes
Do not stack the cookies until the chips are hard again
Great pick up cookie.
If you have any leftovers, keep in a air tight jar or freezer
I tried the new vanilla chips, not the white chocolate, and they are good but they do discolor when they are baked.
The dark chocolate chips are my favorite

Go in your fruit draw and take all your touched and spotted apples out.
Wash them
This is for about five apples
Slice and core them
I like the skin left on but feel free to peel the apples
Melt one tablespoon of butter
Add the apples
Stir fry for two minutes
Add one tablespoon of brown sugar
One teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Stir fry till the apples are almost soft.
You can add raisins if you like
Top off with whipped cream
You can also make this with pears
I really wanted a cheeseburger but it was too cold to go outside and cook on the grill.
Therefore another soup was made indoors.
It is good but does need the condiments as garnish to make it better.
One pound of lean hamburger meat
One medium chopped onion
One tablespoon oil
2 stalks of diced celery including the leaves
3 diced carrots
4 cups beef broth
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Two bouillon cubes instead of the salt
4 cubed potatoes
One cup of half and half
2 cups cheddar cheese
6 slices American cheese
Mandatory garnish includes;
One to two tablespoons ketchup
Two diced dill pickles. I love the sweet and spicy flavor.
One to two tablespoons diced onion
One teaspoon yellow or spicy mustard
Three diced grape tomatoes.
One slice of crumbled cooked bacon
Brown the hamburger and onion
Drain the fat
Take it out of the pan and set aside
Heat the oil and add the celery and carrots and cook till soft
Add the basil, pepper, potatoes, beef broth and bouillon cubes
Cook till the potatoes are soft
Add the beef and onion mixture
Cook on medium for five minutes
Add the half and half and continue to cook for another five minutes
Add the cheese on low heat
Keep the soup warm till you are ready to serve
The soup should thicken up with the potatoes and milk
Spoon into a bowl and top with the garnish
If you take a little garnish in your spoon of soup it takes just like a cheeseburger.
I also added fresh parsley in the soup just to eat something green.
I was satisfied and didn’t have to freeze outside grilling.
