Black bean salad - submitted by Julia McCrone
2 cans black beans
1 can corn kernels
1 1/2 cups celery - chopped
1 1/2 cups red onion, thinly sliced
salsa
cilantro
lime juice
Rinse and drain beans, and add drained corn. (do not warm or cook). Add chopped veggies, and chopped cilantro, and just a bit of lime juice. (maybe half a Tablespon). Toss with salsa. Julia adds that when she takes this to work that she adds the salsa when it is time to eat to keep the salad from getting mushy!
Onion Soup - submitted by Julia McCrone
3 pounds onions
2T light margerine
beef boullion
worchesterschire sauce
sourdough bread
Slice the onions very thinly (very important). melt margerin over low hear and add onions. cook over low heat for 1 - 1 1/2 hours until carmelized, stirring every five minutes. This will make about 3 cups of onions. For each cup add one cup of broth made from the boullion. Combine with 1/2 - 1 Tbsp of worchesterschire sauce (to taste) Julia cuts the sourdough bread into chunks and adds them to her cup of soup. She suggests freezing the onions in one cup portions so you can make fresh soup whenever you want it.

Heartly Oatmeal Pancakes
My kids love these -- and so do I!! It is a big batch - but they freeze well and just pop them into the toaster to reheat!! Try adding 1/2 C diced apples or craisins to the batter. Try topping with with light margerine (I like Brummel and Brown -- 1 pt/Tbsp!) and powdered sugar or maple syrup!
1.5 C flour
2 C Quick cook oats
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 C brown sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
2 eggs beaten
4 egg whites beaten
1.5 C skim milk
Mix dry ingredients, add wet ingredients. Let sit for 30 minutes. Spray griddle / pan with nonstick spray and laddle batter onto griddle. Batter is thick and you may find it necessary to Spread it just a little bit. Cook over medium-high heat about 2 minutes per side or until golden brown. Makes approximately 16 four inch pancakes.
