Easy Recipes

This, while not especially nutritious, is a very good soup to eat when you cannot keep anything else down. The soda in the crackers neutralizes the acid. My mom would give us this when we were sick to our stomaches, as it satisfies the hunger and pretty soon you can eat other things because the acidity causing the problem is neutralized. Out of all the times I have been sick where I could not keep anything else down, this has only failed me once!

This clear sauce is delicious and works great with a vegetable or seafood stir fry. A combination of mushrooms, carrots, bok choy, shrimp or crab, green or white onions makes for a wonderful and simple dish when served with rice.

The key to really good oyster stew is taking time for the soup-base flavors to develop. The chicken broth may seem odd here, but it helps intensify the flavor of the cream. Please don't overcook the oysters. As soon as they begin to curl, serve the stew.
