Ash-e-jow (Iranian/Persian Barley Soup)
I've seen a lot of recipes for Ash-e-jow (Iranian/Persian barley soup); however, my mother-in-law adds tomato paste for a bit of a different flavor and she doesn't add any lentils or beans. It's thick, filling, and delicious, and you could make it vegetarian by using vegetable stock.
Frittata with Leftover Greens
Use leftover cooked greens (which, in my experience, don't reheat so nicely) in this delicious frittata recipe! You can use spinach, Swiss chard, kale, etc.
Mamaw's Southern Buttermilk Chicken
This recipe was given to me from a friend's housekeeper, who was kind to share it with me. It was passed down through her family. Chicken would be fried early in the morning or night before, then placed in the oven to finish while at church, then served for Sunday lunch. It is the best fried chicken around! Love and thanks, Maxine!
