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.

- 0.25 cups chopped celery
- 7 ounces ketchup

Homemade Focaccia Bread

Mock Chopped Liver
This mock chopped liver is made with cooked lentils. This flavorsome spread tastes just like real liver pâté! Make it vegetarian by using vegetable bouillon. Serve mounded on a platter with crackers.
Blackberry Compote
Make this simple blackberry compote with fresh blackberries! It has a chunky consistency, but you can mash the berries with a fork or potato masher if you like it smoother. The longer you simmer the compote, the more concentrated the flavors become. Serve it over ice cream, crêpes, yogurt, oatmeal, or ricotta toast.
