Tagliatelle with Peas and Canadian Bacon (Ham)

Yesterday, after becoming a true Girl Scout, my little baby wanted pasta for dinner. So, pasta it was!

I started by heating up on medium heat one tablespoon of butter and one of olive oil, to which I added 2 finely chopped scallions.

Potatoes and Smoked Ham Sour Soup

Another recipe that is very traditional to me, comfort food simple to make and completely satisfying.

Ingredients:

- 1 bunch scallions, cleaned and finely chopped

- 1 medium onion, also finely chopped

- 2 medium carrots, cleaned and finely sliced

- about 1/3 lb smoked ham, cubed

- salt and pepper to taste

- tomato juice

- sauerkraut juice (or lemon juice), to taste

- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium heat, then add the carrots, scallions and onion and allow them to sweat for 5-10 minutes.
