1 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
2/3 cup diced cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chopped celery

Beef and Vegetable Soup (2 Servings)
1/2 T olive oil
1/2 lb. lean ground beef ( or chicken)
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 cloves garlic, minced
1 can Italian stewed tomatoes
1/2 cup water
1 bouillon cube
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/2 lb. pkg. frozen mixed vegetables
1/4 cup alphabet or other small pasta
1 T chopped parsley
1 T grated Parmesan cheese
In a large saucepan, heat oil and brown ground beef. Season with salt and pepper. Add garlic and cook one minute. Add rest of ingredients plus one cup water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and cook uncovered until pasta and vegetables are tender.
This is a great way to use up refrigerator leftovers. Any leftover pasta, rice, meat or vegetables can be thrown in.
Hash Brown Potatoes (2 servings)
Four to six potatoes
Margarine or butter
The night before you wish to make the hash browns, microwave potatoes until done, about 10 minutes. When they cool down, place in refrigerator overnight.
Grate the potatoes with their skin on; the skin will remain behind as you grate.
In a non-stick or cast iron pan, melt butter, stir in grated potatoes and cook until golden brown, stirring to flip potatoes over.
For variety, add chopped onion, mushrooms, crumbled cooked bacon, or diced ham, or top with shredded cheese.
