Mrs Roberts Cookbook

  

  Mrs. Roberts has the title of housekeeper at Touchstone Acres Farm. Liz Stone and the rest of the family there know she's much more than that.  She is the mother figure who takes care of them all.  She lives in the little stone cottage with her son Clinton. Sophie Tenassis rents the matching cottage next door. Emma Stone, aka Granny, lives in her own little stone house at the end of the driveway. Most mornings they all gather in the big kitchen located in the main house for breakfast.

     Mrs. Roberts gets up early every morning and walks past the duck pond and up to the main house to start breakfast. Liz and her daughter Rosie are awakened each morning to the smell of fresh coffee and scrumptious pastries. Her cinnamon rolls are to die for.

     Here are her recipies.

Russian Beef Borscht

Directions

 

Brown beef in large non-stick stock pot. (Do not add oil) When beef is almost done add onions and celery. Keep cooking until vegetables are tender.

 

Add stewed tomatoes, cabbage and beets and just enough water to cover, and simmer about an hour and a half. (Check water level often and add more to keep everything covered.)

 

Add carrots and potatoes, salt and pepper. Simmer until vegetables are tender. Add more water if needed but only enough that the ingredients are barely covered.

 

Serve with crusty bread and enjoy.
