Description: from Elliott Cookbook

By request from nanab, here are 4 of Claudette's hand-chosen recipes which we included in the Something's Cooking with Elliott Cookbook (fundraiser item for JDRF) in 2006.

Claudette's Lemon-Honey Chicken
(4 servings)
-1 whole chicken
-Garlic salt, salt and pepper and onion powder to taste
-Lemon juice, fresh-squeezed or concentrated
-Honey
- Lemon slices (optional)
-(Lime juice can be substituted for lemon juice)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put chicken in baking bag, season with seasonings to taste. Bake 20 minutes.
Pour lemon juice over chicken, turn chicken over and re-season with seasonings.
Bake another 10 to 15 minutes.
Pour honey over chicken, enough to cover. Arrange lemon slices atop the chicken, if you like, for a nice presentation.
Bake a final 15 to 20 minutes.

Claudette's Honey-Lime Salmon

-Salmon
-Lime juice, fresh-squeezed
-Garlic salt, salt and pepper, to taste
-Honey
Put salmon in a baking pan, puncture it in several places with a fork or tip of a sharp knife.
Pour enough lime juice over salmon to cover the bottom of the pan. Marinate until most of the juice is absorbed.
Sprinkle garlic salt, salt and pepper to taste. Pour just enough honey on salmon to cover it. Broil 5 to 10 minutes, one side only.
Can also be grilled; spoon honey back on salmon if it drips.

Claudette's Sweet and Sour Stuffed Cabbage
(4 servings)

-1 head cabbage
-1 lb. ground beef
-2 eggs
-Onion, chopped (to taste)
-Salt, pepper, garlic salt, to taste
-Breadcrumbs
-1 15-oz. can tomato sauce
-1 16-oz. can frozen lemonade concentrate, mostly thawed and undiluted

Place cabbage in the freezer for about 2 days. When ready to prepare recipe, remove from freezer. As it defrosts, leaves will become pliable. Core the cabbage.
In bowl, combine ground beef, eggs, chopped onion, salt, pepper, garlic salt and enough breadcrumbs to give consistency of meatloaf. Divide meat mixture into 8 portions.
Roll each meat portion into a ball and then roll into a cabbage leaf, foding the leaf edges under.
Place cabbage rolls in a large stovetop pan. Pour tomato sauce over rolls, then pour lemonade over that.
Heat on high until mixture boils, then lower to medium-low heat.. Cover, let cook 2 hours, or as Claudette says, "till you can really smell it."

Claudette's Baked Peas-Potato
(2 servings)

-1 Potato, baked
-Margarine, salt and pepper, to taste
-1/2 cup peas, cooked and strained, then divided
-Parmesan cheese OR sour cream, to taste

After baking potato and removing from from oven, leave oven on.
Cut baked potato in half, lengthwise. Scoop out insides, put in bowl.
Add margarine, salt, pepper.
Mash. Spoon half of mixture into each potato skin and top with peas.
Return to oven for about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and top with Parmesan cheese or sour cream.

When my husband's mom passed on, we found her beef stew in the refrigerator and had a last meal together with her loving spirit.
Hope you will enjoy these special recipes in Claudette's memory as a tribute to her love.

Thanks so much for posting those. They all sound delicious. I'm definitely a peas and potato fan so I must try that one.
