Breakfast

sometimes we just need simple comfort food to make that bad day go away. Biscuits with sausage gravy and scrambled eggs.

Potato soup

with the corned beef and cabbage leftovers I always make potato soup

boil the potatoes, drain, the put in lots of cream, cheese and leftovers stir to warm everything through

corned beef and cabbage

I make this in the crockpot.  Start the corned beef and potatoes first thing in the morning. the corned beef never comes with enough spice so I always add more (Penzeys Spices to the rescue!). Also instead of water, I make mine happy in a pool of  Guinness. At the last two hours of cooking is when I put the cabbage in, two hours is enough to steam the greens perfectly.
