    Do you have a recipe for old fashioned potato soup that doesn’t have a lot of veggies in it? I remember grandma’s as having just potatoes boiled & possibly some heavy cream, butter.

    Thank you for your site. Currently your Pizza Sauce is cooking in the 8 quart crockpot, which we use for all the ‘tomato sauce’ recipes. I plan to can some and freeze several portions.
    Have a great day and enjoy the beauty of South Dakota.

    I don’t see a way to search recipes containing zucchini for instance…

      The search bar is on the right hand side of the page or you can find all the zucchini recipes here: Quick Zucchini Recipes
