Peas

Jim and I both love peas. I am always adding them to pasta dishes and casseroles. The Glen-Mor Restaurant served peas as a side dish.

Servings: 4

Fresh 1 lb. peas

Boil peas Bring a medium stock pot filled half way with water [...]

Creamed Onions in Crumbs

Jim doesn’t remember eating Creamed Onions growing up, so the Glen-Mor Restaurant comparison taste test could not be conducted. However, we did make the recipe twice to cut down on the richness in the first recipe. Despite the unknown authenticity, we both enjoyed this side dish.

Servings: 8

Fresh 4 cups pearl onions 2 Tbsp. [...]

Baked Potatoes

Jim said we didn’t need to include a recipe for Baked Potatoes because it is so simple, but I prefer to be thorough. I will skip the photo of an undressed baked potato and just provide the method. The Glen-Mor Restaurant did not serve its potatoes in aluminum foil, and followed this straight-forward method to achieve the [...]

Zucchini & Summer Squash

The Glen-Mor Restaurant method of using stock to boil the squash is a new preparation method for me, and adds a little depth to these summer vegetables.

Pantry 2 cups water 1/2 [...]

Cream of Tomato Soup

According to Jim, I make versions of tomato soup so often he can no longer tell them apart. This version is intended to replicate the Glen-Mor Restaurant’s Cream of Tomato Soup, which it does, as well as Jim can remember anyway.

Servings: 6

Fresh 2 Tbsp. butter 1 large onion 3 stalks celery [...]
