Click on underlined dishes to follow Recipe links.

type search - Cork County Irish Stew (that is where our Irish ancestors came from). I do not add Cabbage in my stew, since some of my kids do not like it. I make a seperate dish of "Cabbage and Bacon Bake". I also use a roast instead of lamb chops.

Potatoe Soup
Boil red potatoes until tender. Drain, reserving 2 cups water. Add 2 cups milk and continue to cook for about 10 minutes. Add desired spices including salt, pepper and parsley.
