1 onion
1-2 Tbsp butter
2 ½ cups carrots, chopped into 1” pieces
4 eggs
½ cup half and half
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
1/8 tsp crushed mint leaves
Thinly slice the onion. Place in a pan over med-low heat with butter and cover, stirring occasionally. When the onions are soft, remove cover and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion pieces are browned.
At the same time, boil the carrot pieces in salted water, until the fat pieces of carrot are easy to stab with a fork.
Drain the carrots and puree with the half and half, making it as smooth as you can get it.
Preheat oven to 325° F.
Butter a pie tin and spread the onion evenly over the bottom.
Beat together the eggs, carrot puree, salt, pepper, and mint. Pour evenly over the onions.
Place the pie tin in a larger pan with water in it. Bake until it is a set custard, and a toothpick or knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 60 minutes.

1 lb beef, cut into chunks, or ground
½ tsp lavender buds
8 oz sliced mushrooms
7 red potatoes of variable size
2 Tbsp cream cheese
¼ cup milk
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground black pepper
2 beets
3 carrots
1 onion
¼ cup fennel leaves and stalks
2 Tbsp flour or corn starch
Cook the beef and mushrooms with the lavender buds in a small amount of water. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Cut potatoes into chunks and boil until soft. Drain the water; mash the potatoes with the milk, cream cheese, salt and pepper.
Preheat oven to 400° F.
Chop up the vegetables and place in a casserole dish. You can use just the beet root, or use the leaves as well. Put the beef and mushrooms over the vegetables, it's okay if it's not fully cooked at this point. Sprinkle flour over everything.
Spread the mashed potatoes over everything.
Bake for about 30 minutes. Broil it at the end if necessary to brown the top.

2 mangos
1 pineapple
½ cup red onion, chopped
½ cup celery, chopped
1 small red bell pepper
1-3 jalapeño peppers
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
¼ cup lime juice
Cut the peels off the mangos, discard the peels, and cut as much flesh as you can off the pits.
Cut the top and bottom off the pineapple, cut it into long quarters, and cut the hard core out of each piece.
Cut the top off the jalapeños, cut them open lengthwise, and remove and discard the seeds.
Do the same with the red bell pepper.
Chop all the ingredients as finely as possible, especially mincing the jalapeños very fine.
Combine all ingredients.

4 Tbsp butter
½ cup – 1 cup diced onions
4 lbs tomatoes, diced
¼ tsp thyme
½ tsp basil
¼ tsp black pepper
3 Tbsp flour
2 cups vegetable stock or chicken broth
¼ tsp baking soda
3 Tbsp sugar
1 ½ cups evaporated milk (12 oz can)
½ tsp salt
6-10 slices of bacon
In a large saucepan, saute the onions in the butter until tender, about 10 minutes (do not brown). Add the tomatoes, thyme, basil and pepper. Simmer 10 minutes. Whisk the broth and flour together and add to the soup mixture. Cover and simmer for 25 minutes, then remove from heat.
Fry the bacon until crispy and let cool, then crumble. Puree the soup in a blender, then return to the stove. Stir in the baking soda, sugar, milk, salt, and bacon. Heat, stirring, to a bare simmer, just to get it hot again.
Serves 3-4 people.

This is how my mom makes stuffing for Thanksgiving.
Ingredients:
cornbread
bread
onions
celery
butter
sage
soup stock
salt
Make a batch of cornbread. Cut into cubes after it's baked.
Gather different kinds of bread and rolls you have around. Stale bread is okay. Tear or cut the bread into cubes. Have an equal amount of cornbread and other bread.
Mix the cornbread and the other bread together in large bowl.
Saute chopped onions and chopped celery in butter.
Mix onions and celery into the breads.
Add a lot of ground sage to taste.
Add chicken/turkey broth or vegetable stock. Add enough to moisten the bread, especially if some is stale, but not so much that it turns into a gluey, soggy lump.
Add salt if the stock/broth you used was not salty.
At this point taste it and add more sage/salt/broth as necessary.
Spread it into a baking pan and warm it in the oven until it's warm all the way.
