I'm just beginning to cook so my recipes are pretty quick and simple. This recipe is a really simple, quick, and tasty 'Sloppy Joe.' This is what we are having tonight before we go to the football game. You can also let this simmer in a slow cooker after browning the ground beef if you prefer.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 0.5 cups chopped onion
- 0.25 cups chopped celery
- 7 ounces ketchup
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoons dry mustard powder
- 0.13 teaspoons lemon juice

Purslane, Cherry Tomato, and Cucumber Salad
A simple way to enjoy purslane, which is a weed that you might be able to forage in your own backyard! Purslane has more omega-3s than any other plant source and a pleasant lemony flavor. Here I toss it with a simple mix of cherry tomatoes and cucumber for a cool salad with nice crunch.
Irresistible Whole Wheat Challah
Warm and light, fresh out of the oven with butter and salt sprinkled on top, it is a delicious gift or dessert for any occasion. Best with whole wheat, but just white flour or a mixture works. It is easy and fun, but takes all day. Trust me, it is so worth it!
Multigrain Pancakes
I like these multigrain pancakes with peanut butter and sugar-free syrup on top. They're easy to make, satisfying, and full of whole grain goodness! You can add any chopped fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips to the batter if desired.
