Vegetable Soup

This is a dish you're going to want to start fairly early in the day. Also, if you're not a huge vegetble fan, give this a try....you may like it.

1. First off you want to get a large pot ( I use a 6 quart pot but sometimes I use the 6 quart and the 4 quart ).
2. Wash your Rump Roast 
3. Fill the pot with water so it's about an inch to inch and a half over the roast
4. Cook the roast completely adding water when necessary (20 minutes per pound if thawed or 30 minutes per pound if frozen)
5. Remove roast onto carving platter to cool
6. Leave water in pot and add to it a 46 ounce bottle of tomato juice. 
7. Slice the cabbage any way you choose (I do mine in strips) 
8. Add the cabbage to the pot of tomato juice/ roast water mixture
9. Cook cabbage for about 15 minutes 
10. Then add any other vegetables you like in any amount you like ( I add corn, green beans and carrots)
11. Herbs and Seasonings I like to use (not necessarily all together but with the vegetable soup on different occasion) are : Flat Leaf Parsley, Garlic, Basil, Oregano, Salt and Pepper.

Simple Cream of Wheat

This isn't necessarily a fantastic recipe from scratch but my husband has pointed out to me on multiple occasions that it's the best cream of wheat he's ever had and he's never heard of anyone eating it this way. So, as I post how my family has always eaten it, please leave a comment and let me know how you eat yours? Is this really as unique as he makes it seem?

Make Cream of Wheat per directions on box (the recipe will begin with cooked Cream of Wheat)

1. "Plop" hot Cream of Wheat into bowl you intend to eat out of
2. Add 1 tablespoon of butter or margarine 
3. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar or sugar substitute 
4. Add 1/4 cup of milk
5. Stir until not clumpy

And for your personal preference you may want to microwave it a little to warm it back up. But if you're feeding it to kids, it's the perfect temperature.

Please let me know how you eat your Cream of Wheat!

Happy Eating and Drinking!
