    Season 2, Episode 17: Cheeseburger and Chickpea Casseroles: A Hybrid Recipe Two Dish Meal For Vegetarians and Meat Eaters. This delicious savory meal is perfect for something hearty when you are looking to feed both vegetarians and meat-eaters. This meal prep feeds two diets! I love this dish, especially for fall, because it's integral with a cozy feel good warm comfort foods vibe. You can get protein whether you are a vegetarian or someone who eat meat with this combo dish recipe. Family recipes: make two dishes from one recipe! This particular version of the family meal recipe creates 2/3 of the meal as containing meat, and 1/3 meatless. Modify this to fit your needs. #hybridrecipe #vegetarian #mealprep #recipes #cooking #familymeals #casserole

    Ingredients:
    20-24 slices of whole wheat bread (I like 100% whole wheat bread) (divided, number varies with bread slice size and pan size)
    4 1/2 c. shredded mild cheddar cheese (divided)
    1 1/2 c. chopped onion
    1 c. chopped celery
    1 1/2 c. ketchup
    1/2 cu. mustard
    1 tbsp olive oil
    4 1/2 c. skim milk (divided into 3 cups and 1 1/4 c.)
    1 tsp. dry mustard
    1 tsp. salt
    1/2 tsp. black pepper
    6 eggs (divided into 4 and 2)
    2 sticks of butter
    10 oz. chickpeas in sauce (any flavor)
    Ketchup and mustard to drizzle on top as desired.

    Instructions:
    1. Brown ground beef. Set aside.
    2. Cook onion and celery in olive oil until tender.
    3. Combine cooked veggies with ketchup, wet mustard, dry mustard, salt, pepper to make a sauce. Stir well. Set aside.
    3. Grease pans with cooking spray:
    4. Toast and butter all slices of bread.
    5. Line pans (13x10 for meat portion, 11.5 x2--a 2 Qt. pan) with buttered toast, cut slices in half as needed to cover the full pan.
    6. Spread a spoonful of ketchup/mustard sauce on each slice of bread.
    7. Spread half the ground beef across the slices in the designated meat pan, and half the chickpea in sauce over slices in the vegetarian designated pan.
    8. Sprinkle some cheese evenly over both pans, reserving half for the next sprinkling.
    9. Re-layer each pan with slices of buttered toast.
    10. Spread a spoonful of the ketchup and mustard across each slice of toast.
    11. Spread remaining ground beef to meat pan and remaining chickpeas in sauce to the meatless pan.
    12. Sprinkle both pans evenly with shredded cheese.
    13. In separate bowls, prepare the eggs and milk mixtures. For the larger meat pan, add four eggs to 3 c. of skim milk and whisk to scramble. For the meatless pan, in a separate bowl, combine 2 eggs and 1 1 /4 c. skim milk and whisk.
    14. Pour the appropriate egg mixtures over the correct pans, ensuring you pour evenly and cover the bread in all spots to wet it.

    Season 2, Episode 11: Hybrid Pasty Hotdish and Easy Recipe Veggie Pot Pie. Hello! My name is Julie Hoag. I'm an author, cookbook author, food blogger, family life blogger, and narrator. I have a hybrid split table family as far as diets go being that I'm a vegetarian, and main cook for the family, while my husband and three sons eat meat. So I cook in a unique way that I call hybrid where I'm making meals and recipes work for both diets. These two recipes are pie type recipes for dinner or supper, whichever term you use. The pasty hotdish recipe came from my grandma who was born in Finland and is a modified version of the traditional handheld pasties. And the other recipe is an easy pot pie recipe I made on the fly so I could enjoy a meatless pot pie while my family all had frozen already prepared pot pies for a meal. Necessity is the mother of invention, right?

    Here are the recipes for your easy reference. One was taken from my cookbook, One Dish Two Diets, which is available on Amazon (scroll to the links below).

    Easy Cooking Guide:
    Easy Veggie Pot Pie Ingredients:

    1 pie crust2 baked potatoes, cooked with skin cut off (I microwaved them to cook them)1/2 c. baby carrots cooked (I cooked them in the microwave)10 oz. bag of mixed frozen vegetables, cooked (I used frozen and cooked them in microwave)1 can cream of mushroom soup1/4 c. skim milk1/8 tsp. black pepper1/4 tsp dried sage leaves

    How to Instructions:

    Cook veggies in microwave.Mix milk, pepper, soup, and sage leaves, stir well.Stir together all ingredients.Scoop into a pie pan.Lay the pie crust on top. Score.Cook for about 30-40 minutes until gravy is bubbly and crust is golden.

    Hybrid Pasty Hotdish Ingredients:

    2 cups chopped rutabaga1 c. sliced carrots3/4 c. diced onion2 1/2 c. diced potato (peeled)2 tsp. coconut oil1/2 c. vegetable broth1/4 tsp. black pepper1/4 tsp. rubbed sage2 premade pie crusts1 can of cream of mushroom soup1 c. skim milk2 c. browned ground beef1 c. ketchup, for topping when serving

    Instructions:

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees.Peel and cut up vegetables.Whisk the broth, sage, & black pepper together.Pour broth mixture over veggies, stir to coat.Brown ground beef.Grease 2 pie pans with coconut oil.Use a slotted spoon to scoop veggies into pie pans, making the meatless one heavier on the veggies.Drizzle 2-3 T. over veggies in pie pans.Add ground beef to one.Whisk milk and soup together.Pour 1 c. soup mixture over each dish.Lay pie crust over the tops. Score.Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes on middle or low rack, then reduce heat to 350 degrees and cook for another 35-40 minutes. Cover edges with foil if needed to keep them from getting too brown.Cut and serve with ketchup drizzled over the top.

    Season 2, Episode 4: History of Christmas Candies and Candy Chat with Daniel Zafran from the Candy is Dandy Podcast, where he is one of three co-hosts. Daniel stated their show is composed of them picking a candy, talking about the history and the story of it, reviewing it, and rating it. They also have candy news, play a candy related game, and do candy autopsies, which you can watch on TikTok. Daniel shared some history of Christmas candies. Each has a story! The holiday candies he unveiled the stories about included: candy canes, Hannukah gelt, almond roca, Ferraro Rocher, and Teri's chocolate oranges. Some stories about the candies are religious and others are cultural... but all very interesting. We also discussed the story of Nutella... and is Nutella candy? What do you think? We also debated the best chocolates and how American chocolate is not that great, but give a mention of a few brands that are decent/good. Daniel talked about his travels and the not so good surprise he got about Chinese chocolate. We discussed how candies are very different from countries and some are not even candy-like to the common sweet tooths we have in America and Europe. I mentioned the amazing candy store in Minnesota and the wide variety, including worldwide candies, and Daniel mentioned the wide variety of different types of grocery stores near him that stock candies from different countries. We also chatted about what is candy and what isn't really candy. We had a blast talking for almost an hour about candy!

    Episode 26: Rose's Family Favourites: A Delightful Mix of #Kosher, Asian, Continental, and #Jewish Recipes with Cookbook Author Rose Benjamin. Rose and I chatted about how her cookbook is a conglomeration of many family recipes. Making her recipes celebrates her family's traditions and creating this cookbook during the pandemic helped her create a family legacy that not only her family can enjoy, but everyone else in the world too! She loves to personally communicate digitally with her buyers and facilitate a conversation and/or relationship with the buyer to answer questions and help them with any struggles they may have with the recipes. She created a recipe book that reflects her family's food memories. The foods we make, and the recipes we turn to again and again, carry wonderful and cherished memories with them each time we make and enjoy them, both old and new memories. Family traditions with food are meaningful expressions of love, camaraderie, and fellowship with our family members and friends. Enjoy her cookbook that was made with love, crafted with time, energy, and trusted recipes from her heritage. #familyrecipes #familytable #familycooking #jewishrecipes
