Russian Mushroom and Potato Soup
I make this soup every Halloween and is the 'signal' to the family that the cool weather has arrived. I've been making it for 15 years now and out of all the soups I make, it is still everyone's favorite. Enjoy!
Green Goddess Egg Salad
This green goddess egg salad is a unique twist on traditional egg salad with an herb-rich dressing. It makes a great sandwich on any bread, an appetizer on crostini, or just serve over some tasty fresh greens.
Horseradish Cream Sauce for Prime Rib
Serve this creamy, spicy, flavorful sauce with your prime rib. It's the best horseradish sauce I've come up with — I've never tasted a better one! It's an ideal complement for so many foods in addition to prime rib: roast beef, ham, pork loin, onion rings, and chicken strips. I add extra horseradish, as I love the flavor.
