Each Wednesday for the past year or so I've posted a recipe. But, frankly, I'm running out of recipes to post. So, I've decided to add to my recipe book and give away prizes at the same time. I've also decided to organize the recipe posting by doing certain recipes each week: Week 1 – appetizers/salads/soups, Week 2 – side dishes, Week 3 – main courses, Week 4 – desserts and sweets. Previously, I just posted what I felt like each week.
The contest will run this way: Each week from Wednesday to Tuesday, post recipes as comments on my blog. The recipes need to be for that week's topic. On the following Wednesday, I'll put all the names in a hat and draw a winner. The more recipes you post, the more times your name will be in the hat. I'll post the prize each week, so you'll know what you're posting for.
But that's not the end of the prizes. The whole point behind doing this contest is to put recipes in my recipe book, so I can post them in the future (October 2009-September 2010). So.....if I use your recipe in the future, I'll send you a prize then, too. The post that keeps on getting!
This being the first week of the month, the recipe(s) you post tomorrow can be an appetizer, salad or soup. Have fun digging through your own recipes and remember, you can post more than one. Thanks for sharing!

The recipe for homemade egg noodles is to put 1 egg into a bowl and add enough flour, mix well until the mixture can be rolled out flat with a rolling pen. Roll the noodles as thin as possible, cover with a towel and let dry out. Slice into thin noodles with a knife.

ARTICHCOKE DIP
1 C mayonnaise
1 can artichoke hearts, drained
1C Parmesan cheese, shredded
14 oz can chopped green chilies
In a bowl, break up artichoke hearts. Stir in mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese and chilies. Bake 30 minutes at 350.

Here is a soup that is great hot or cold. It is especially good cold in the summer, and it so easy and fast to make.
Avgolemono or Greek Lemon Rice Soup
6 cups Chicken Stock or Broth
1/4 cup long grain white rice
3 eggs
3 Tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon
juice
Bring stock to a boil, drop in rice, cover and simmer over a very low heat until rice is tender (12-15 minutes). Take off the heat.
Break eggs into a bowl, beat well, then very very gradually beat in the lemon juice. Very slowly stir 1/2 cup of hot soup into the lemon-egg mixture, then slowly stir the lemon-egg mixture into the rest of the soup. Put back on low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until hot and beginning to thicken. (It must NOT boil or the eggs will curdle!)
Serve at once if you want to eat it hot.
Excellent chilled for summer so, to do this, put it in a non-metallic bowl, covered, in the fridge. When chilled, remover every particle of fat. Then serve very cold with a thin slice of lemon floating on the top. Heaven!
