Welcome to The Karney Family Recipe Site!

I have many vivid and wonderful memories of family and friends gathering around the table to celebrate holidays, special events, and just the companionship of one another. Meals were always a special event whether eaten at a table with cloth napkins, holiday decorations and the good china, or on a picnic table with a red checkered tablecloth on a balmy summer day.

Throughout history, meals have always occupied a special place in the world's great religions. As we gather for sustenance and companionship, we are in our most vulnerable human condition, and that's where the Divine enters. This is precisely why mealtime is sacred and shouldn't be subservient to television, texting, or other interruptions. We need each other's companionship and the opportunity to be fully human so much that we can't let distractions overwhelm us.

My wife, Natalie, and I have always enjoyed cooking. As our sons, Jared, Jeff, and Kevin got older they all became good cooks. I had been working on putting together a book of both traditional family recipes and favorite newer recipes, but how do you ever say such a thing is done? So, I decided that the best solution would be to put the recipes online where they would be available to friends and family and now, of course, to anyone else who is interested. Now we have added Izabella, Amie, and Katy, three wonderful daughters-in-law. With their extended families, I'm sure they will be contributing some wonderful recipes.

So! Make some great food, gather around the table with your loved ones and strangers as well, give thanks to God, share your stories, and celebrate life.

Bon appetit! - Mark Karney

This is an end of summer recipe when the garden is yielding more bounty than you know what to do with. It is a great summer meal served with fresh cornbread. I went through many Gazpacho recipes and finally developed this one after lots of experimentation. This is a wonderful way to celebrate the gift of summer and the abundance of the earth with family and friends.

1 Hot banana pepper, diced
10-15 Large tomatoes, diced
4 Avocados, not overly ripe.
10 Garlic cloves, chopped
¾ c Oregano leaves, chopped fine
½ c Olive oil.
½ c Chopped almonds (optional)
Salt to taste

Instructions

Heat chicken broth to boiling.
Add 3 chopped tomatoes, 3 chopped garlic cloves and ¼ of the oregano. Simmer for ½ hour.
Dice the remaining vegetables and mix with the oregano in a large bowl, except the garlic and hot pepper.
Blend the oil almonds, garlic and hot pepper in the food processor until well pureed. Pour over the vegetable mixture and toss until well blended.
Cool the broth mixture with the ice cubes and pour over the vegetables.
Chill before serving.

Garnish with jalapeño peppers, almonds and green onions if desired. You'll definitely want to serve this with fresh cornbread.

You can substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth if you want to be totaly vegetarian.
