Instant Pot Frozen Vegetable Soup
This Instant Pot vegetable soup with frozen veggies is packed with flavor and on the table in less than 45 minutes. I love a good homemade vegetable soup and find myself buying frozen veggies just so I can make this. Eliminate the celery and there is no chopping whatsoever. It doesn't get any easier than dumping it all, giving it a stir, and walking away.
Japanese Restaurant Cucumber Salad
Simple and easy to make, with a sweet and spicy dressing that adds a refreshing bite. This recipe comes from a lovely, now-elderly Japanese woman friend who was a second-generation immigrant and patiently endured internment during WWII as a young girl. The cucumber salad is similar to sunomo in Japanese restaurants, but a bit more assertive. The ingredients are available in the Asian or ethnic foods sections of most metropolitan grocery stores. If you're diabetic, use sugar substitute instead of sugar with the same results. Original recipe called for 1 teaspoon MSG also.
