Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------------------------------beef roast -- * see note black pepper garlic cloves -- minced onion soup mix Worcestershire sauce steak sauce carrots -- sliced celery stalks -- diced green bell pepper -- chopped yellow onion water tomato juice

Cut beef roast into serving-sized portions. Use more beef if you need more than 6 servings. Brown beef in a bit of vegetable oil, although you can skip this step if rushed for time. Slice onion and separate into rings. Dice the peeled carrots, dice the celery and slice the peppers into thin strips or circles. Place these into bottom of crockpot. Sprinkle the beef pieces with fresh ground black pepper, minced garlic and the onion soup mix. Place on top of the vegetables. Mix the steak sauce and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl with about 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup tomato juice. Pour this over the meat. Turn the crockpot to high for 30 minutes, or, if you're in a hurry, skip this step. Turn to low, cover and cook for 7-9 hours. When ready to serve, dip meat and vegetables out of pot with a slotted spoon. Use the liquid as is or turn crockpot to high and thicken liquid with a little flour or cornstarch. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Per serving: 283 Calories (kcal); 18g Total Fat; (57% calories from fat); 19g Protein; 10g Carbohydrate; 66mg Cholesterol; 476mg Sodium Food Exchanges: 0 Grain(Starch); 2 1/2 Lean Meat; 1 1/2 Vegetable; 0 Fruit; 2 Fat; 0 Other Carbohydrates Serving Ideas : Serve with mashed potatoes and a healthy bread. NOTES : * Use any cut of beef roast desired.

Keep the crockpot covered as much as possible throughout cooking time. A crockpot can be used to cook this type of meal for a varied amount of time, depending on your schedule. It is not important that you take the meat and vegetables out at a specific amount of time. One or two hours either way usually makes no difference. Nutr.

Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method ------------ -------------------------------ounces frozen spinach (30-ounce) jars spaghetti sauce cups Ricotta cheese, part skim milk cups shredded Mozzarella cheese, part skim milk egg -- beaten ounces lasagna noodles teaspoon black pepper teaspoon oregano -- optional teaspoon basil -- optional cup vegetable juice cocktail cup water

Thaw the spinach and squeeze dry. In a large container mix the two cheeses, beaten egg, black pepper, oregano and basil. Add the thawed spinach and blend well. Use a 13 � 9 inch pan. Put a small amount of the sauce in bottom and spread lightly to cover bottom. This keeps the lasagna from sticking as it cooks, and enables you to remove it easily in neat portions. Place one third of the uncooked noodles, one third of the sauce and one third of the cheese-spinach mixture. Make 3 layers this way, ending with the sauce. Combine the water and vegetable juice cocktail or tomato juice. Pour this carefully around the edges of the casserole, moving the noodles slightly with a spatula to get the liquid distributed evenly. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Cover tightly with foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour to 1 and 1/4 hours. Remove foil and continue baking for a few minutes more, until lightly browned and bubbling. Let stand for at least 15 minutes before serving. This lasagna can be sliced with a flat edged spatula and lifted out in serving-sized portions. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Per serving: 401 Calories (kcal); 16g Total Fat; (34% calories from fat); 18g Protein; 49g Carbohydrate; 43mg Cholesterol; 1056mg Sodium Food Exchanges: 1 Grain(Starch); 1 1/2 Lean Meat; 19 1/2 Vegetable; 0 Fruit; 2 Fat; 0 Other Carbohydrates NOTES : I call this Amateur Lasagna because it does not require the noodles be cooked beforehand and uses ready-made spaghetti sauce. The addition of the spinach makes it a very nutritious dish. This freezes very well in serving-sized portions, wrapped in foil; to

heat, place in oven while still covered, or unwrap and heat in microwave on 30-50% power. Spaghetti sauce is available in a 30 ounce jar and also in smaller containers. For this recipe, I use about 1-1/2 to 2 jars of the Ragu Sauce in the 30 ounce container. Nutr.

Heat oil in a deep-fat fryer or deep heavy skillet. Time heating so it will be ready when you are prepared to begin frying doughnuts.

Cut in margarine using a pastry blender or two knives. Make a well in center of mix and add mashed bananas and eggs. Mix well. You can do this with a wooden spoon, or since dough will be very stiff you may want to use your hands to mix it well.

Place dough on a lightly floured surface and roll to 1/2-inch thick. Cut with a 2-1/2 inch doughnut cutter that you dip in flour as needed. Deep-fry, a few at a time, until golden brown.

Measure -----------cup cup tablespoons cups cup tablespoons teaspoon teaspoon

Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------------------------------orange -- *see note water sugar candied ginger root sweet potatoes -- mashed whipping cream margarine -- melted vanilla extract egg whites cream of tartar egg yolks (9-inch) pie crust -- unbaked

In small pan, combine 1 cup water and 1/2 cup sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat and then stir in orange rind that has been slivered. Lower heat and keep mixture at barely simmering state; simmer uncovered until mixture is like syrup, about 10 minutes or so. Stir in the ginger and set aside to cool to lukewarm. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, 1/2 cup orange juice, whipping cream, margarine, vanilla and the 3 egg yolks. Beat this until very well combined. Stir in the cooled syrup mixture and beat well. Place 2 egg whites in bowl and beat until soft peaks form. Stir this into potato mixture; do not beat but blend it very well. Pour this mixture into the unbaked pie shell. Make sure you smooth the top of the pie. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven 45-50 minutes or until knife inserted 1/3 distance from edge comes out clean. The center will be just the slightest bit soft. About 20 minutes before pie is done, prepare the topping. TOPPING: Place the 4 remaining egg whites in a large bowl along with the cream of tartar. Beat at low speed until frothy. Increase the speed and VERY gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Continue beating until whites are very glossy and stiff. This will take about 12-15 minutes. When pie is done, remove from oven and spoon on the egg whites. Don't smooth the top; make soft peaks with the back of a spoon. Continue baking for 10-15 minutes longer at the same 350-degree temperature until meringue is very light brown. Remove to a wire rack to cool.

Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------------------------------warm water sugar sugar yeast milk butter -- cut in pieces bread flour salt unsweetened cocoa powder instant coffee powder -- not granular eggs vanilla extract chopped black walnuts raisins, seedless SERVE WITH honey butter

Mix the water and 1 tablespoon sugar in mixing cup. Add yeast and stir slightly. Set aside for 10 minutes until foamy. Warm the milk and butter in a saucepan to about 110 degrees (butter will not melt completely). In a large mixing bowl, combine 3-3/4 cups flour, salt, cocoa, coffee and the remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Blend well. Beat eggs slightly and add the warm milk, butter and vanilla; blend. Add this mixture along with the yeast mixture to the flour. Stir in the

walnuts and raisins. Mix all with a mixer with dough hook, or by hand with a wooden spoon. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 to 6 minutes until smooth and elastic. Or continue mixing in the mixer and knead only 2 minutes or so. Add more flour if necessary. Grease a large bowl and place the dough into it, turning to grease all sides. Cover and let rise in a warm place until dough has doubled in size, about 2 hours. Knead the dough a few times, cover with plastic wrap and let rest for few minutes. Roll the dough into a large oval shape and roll up like a jelly roll, placing the seam side down. Roll from the narrow end to make it fit into the pan size you prefer. Use a loaf pan or a round casserole type pan. Butter a piece of plastic wrap and place loosely over the dough. Let rise again until doubled in size; about 1-1/2 hours. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place bread near the center of the oven, not too high. Bake for 25 minutes, then cover loosely with foil and continue baking 30 to 40 minutes longer. Let cool for 10 minutes, then remove from pan and finish cooling on wire rack. Serve with butter and honey for a real treat.

Substitute canned milk for the regular milk for a very rich flavor. The cooking time will vary greatly, anywhere from 1-1/2 to 3-1/2 hours. The longer it cooks the thicker it will be. It is important to have the dried apricots minced. Put all ingredients into crockpot. Stir to blend well. Cover and cook on high 1-1/2 hours, stir once after about 1 hour. Or, cook on high for the first 30 minutes,

turn to low and cook as long as you desire. Check after the first 2 hours of low cooking and stir. If rice is not absorbing the milk quickly enough, turn the crockpot up to high again. Keep cover on at all times. Crockpot temperatures vary widely among different brands. Only experimentation can tell you the correct amount of time for cooking in your crockpot. Rarely will a crockpot recipe fail, though, as the long, slow cooking process does not require precise timing.

Have eggs at room temperature. Heat the cottage cheese until barely warm to touch, about 110 degrees. Mix the cottage cheese in large bowl along with sugar, onion, dill, salt, baking soda, eggs and yeast. Add flour, 1/2 cup at a time, to make a stiff batter. Beat well after each addition with an electric mixer flat beater, or use a wooden spoon if mixing by hand. Since this is a heavy batter, not a dough, it will not be kneaded. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let rise in warm place for 1 hour or more. Remove the plastic wrap and stir down the batter with 20-25 strong strokes. Spoon the batter into a greased 1-1/2 quart casserole dish. Cover with wax paper and leave until the batter doubles in size, about 45 minutes. Keep the waxed paper from touching the batter or it may collapse when the paper is pulled away. Bake in a PREHEATED 350-degree oven for 40-45 minutes or until deep brown and crusty. Test with a wooden toothpick and if it does not come out clean, then bake 5-8 minutes longer. Remove bread from oven and immediately brush with the margarine. Sprinkle with salt if desired.

Bananas: Cut into chunks and sprinkle with lemon juice and sugar. Use canned peaches, pineapple etc. by draining; sprinkle very lightly with flour before dipping into batter. VEGETABLES: Cut into equal-sized pieces to keep frying time approximately the same. Heat oil in deep skillet or container until about 370 degrees. Cook fritters until delicately brown, then drain on paper towels. Exact times will vary. Test one piece of fruit or vegetable to get an idea of how long to cook.

In a heavy skillet, melt 2 tablespoons margarine and add the onions which have been sliced thin and separated into rings. Stir to cover with the margarine. Cover the pan and cook over low heat for 10 minutes or until onions are translucent. Wash apples and core but do not peel. Slice into 1/2 to 3/4-inch crescents. When onions are done, transfer to a plate and keep warm. Wipe out the skillet and add 1 tablespoon margarine and melt. Add the apple slices; saut� over medium flame until browned, about 1 minute. Turn slices and brown other side. Do not overcook. Turn off heat, add onion and combine; set aside. To prepare eggs for cooking, place 8 egg yolks and 6 egg whites into large bowl. Add the cream, salt and pepper to your taste and beat this mixture lightly with fork. Set aside. Place the remaining 2 egg whites in a bowl and, with a mixer, beat on high speed until whites are stiff but not dry. Blend the egg yolk mixture again to be sure it is not separated, then fold in the beaten whites. DO NOT beat in, only fold in gently until thoroughly blended. Using an omelet pan, melt 1 tablespoon margarine over medium heat. When margarine foams, add half the egg mixture. As eggs begin to set, use a fork to pull edges gently towards center, allowing uncooked eggs to flow outward. Cook until eggs are brown on bottom but still moist on top, 4-5 minutes. Spread half the apple-onion mixture on one-half of the omelet. Use a spatula to fold other half over the apple mixture. Place on serving plate and keep warm in oven while preparing the remaining omelet. When second

omelet is prepared, divide both among 4 serving plates. Top each with a tablespoon of sour cream and a very light sprinkling of fresh ground nutmeg.

Prepare jars following manufacturer's directions for sterilizing. Use 12-15 pounds of fresh, ripe tomatoes. If you want them peeled, dip in boiling water briefly until skins split. Rinse in cold water. Remove cores and any green spots. To reduce cooking time, chop tomatoes. Put into a large, heavy pan. It is very important to use a heavy pan to prevent tomatoes from sticking and scorching. Simmer the tomatoes for 2 hours, stirring frequently. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer overnight or until the sauce has cooked down by half. To prevent sauce from sticking, fill a large roasting pan with the sauce, set it in a 250-degree oven, and let it cook until it is as thick as you want it; stir occasionally as it cooks. The sauce will not stick using this method. If you want a smooth sauce, or if you have not peeled the tomatoes, you can sieve the sauce or use a blender or food processor to make it smooth.

When sauce is the consistency you desire, pour it into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch of head space. Adjust lids.

NOTES : Try your hand at canning. It is not as difficult as it might seem, and, together with a friend's help, is a rewarding experience. * Kosher salt is the best to use for canning. See "Tomato Jam" in this cookbook if you make this using a boiling water bath instead of a pressure canner. Omit the onion, green peppers and celery if using water bath; 45 minutes in a boiling water bath is then sufficient. You can freeze this sauce, including the onion, green pepper and celery if you prefer. This recipe is given using all three methods of preserving this sauce because many people are going back to the old ways of canning produce. If freezing, freeze in proportions to use all at one time in a recipe. Usually 1 quart of sauce will make a recipe for 4 to 6 people. Nutr.

Do not sift flour. Place 1-1/2 cups flour in a large bowl. Add sugar, salt, lemon peel and yeast. Soften margarine and add to flour mixture. Add 1-1/3 cups very warm (120-130 degree) water to the flour mixture and beat 2 minutes at medium speed; scrape bowl occasionally.

Add eggs and 1/2 cup flour; beat at high speed for 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in more flour to make a soft dough. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes. Turn dough out onto well-floured surface; divide into 3 parts. Roll each piece to an 8-inch square. Cut each square into eight 1-inch strips. Twist each strip and coil in a circle, sealing ends underneath. Place on greased cookie sheet. Make a wide indentation in center of each roll, pressing to the bottom. Spoon filling into indentations, using 1 teaspoon for each roll. Cover loosely and let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in bulk. Bake in preheated 375-degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until done. Repeat with each piece of dough. TO FREEZE: After filling with nut-honey filling, place on greased cookie sheets, cover with plastic wrap and freeze. When frozen, remove from cookie sheets and place in plastic freezer bags. To bake, remove from freezer, let stand at room temperature until completely thawed. This will take about 1-1/2 to 2 hours. Let rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes after thawing. FILLING: Combine 1/3 cup honey, 1 cup finely chopped nuts, and salt in saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer over low heat for 3 minutes. Gradually stir in beaten egg yolks and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened. Stir in lemon peel then cool.

Remove from heat, keep covered and allow to stand for 1 hour or more. While beans are soaking, prepare the ham hocks (or use meaty ham bones). Combine the 3 cups broth and 3 cups water in a large heavy pan with lid; bring to a boil. Add the ham and simmer for about 1 hour. Drain the beans, running hot water over beans briefly to rinse. Add the beans to the ham mixture. Slice the onions and separate into rings. Add the onions, along with the carrots, celery, and bay leaf, to the pot. Mince the garlic cloves or use a garlic press; add to mixture. Add fresh ground black pepper and salt if you prefer. Ham is salted already so you may not want to add salt at this point. Pour additional broth or hot water over this mixture to reach about 1 inch above the ingredients. Simmer for about 1 hour, stirring several times, checking to see if you need to add more liquid. After beans and vegetables are tender, remove the ham hocks or bone. Remove the meat from bones and add back to the bean mixture.

Combine all ingredients in a VERY large heavy pot. Simmer uncovered over low heat until beef falls to shreds, stirring occasionally. This will take 5 to 6 hours; watch carefully the last hour to make sure that it is not sticking. Mixture should be very thick. The mixture fills a large pot before cooking but becomes a small amount by the time it is cooked. While cooking I sometimes add chopped green peppers, celery, bay leaf, or carrots. Serve on hamburger buns with mustard.

When candy has reached desired temperature, remove from heat, remove thermometer and WITHOUT scraping sides and bottom of pan, pour mixture onto large platter which has been greased with margarine. Let mixture cool enough to handle. Grease your hands with margarine, take a small portion of the candy and begin pulling. Use only the tips of your fingers to pull. Candy should be white in color and no longer feel sticky when it has been pulled enough. Twist each pulled strip slightly and place on waxed paper. When all the candy is pulled, cut each strip into 1-inch pieces. Wrap each piece in waxed paper and twist ends or get paper especially for this purpose at a cake decorators' supply store. Store in a container with a tight fitting cover.

Fold other side over and immediately remove to serving plate. Keep in barely warm oven while preparing remaining 3 omelets. Wipe pan with paper towels between each omelet. To serve, top each with 1/4 of the dressing and serve one gherkin along side omelet. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Per serving: 706 Calories (kcal); 54g Total Fat; (68% calories from fat); 40g Protein; 14g Carbohydrate; 476mg Cholesterol; 1170mg Sodium Food Exchanges: 0 Grain(Starch); 5 1/2 Lean Meat; 1/2 Vegetable; 0 Fruit; 7 1/2 Fat; 1/2 Other Carbohydrates Serving Ideas : Serve with crisp rolls and juice for a complete breakfast.

Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------------------------------bananas fresh lemon juice powdered sugar cornstarch light cream eggs -- separated rum

Wash bananas and dry well. Remove a very thin section of peel off side of banana. You are trying to keep peel as intact as possible so cut carefully. Remove the banana from peel. Place 1 peel in each of 4 individual baking dishes. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Set aside. In a sauce pan combine 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch and light cream. Cook, whisking constantly, until mixture becomes very thick. In a blender or food processor, pur�e two of the bananas, or enough to make 1 cup of pur�e. You won't need the other two bananas for this recipe. They can be mashed and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice added; seal tightly and freeze for later baking use. In a saucepan, combine cream mixture, banana pur�e, egg yolks and rum; mix well. Cook, whisking constantly, until mixture thickens. Remove from heat, transfer to a bowl, and chill slightly. In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Add a small amount of the whites to banana mixture; mix well. Gently fold remaining whites into the mixture. Spoon mixture into banana peels, piling slightly. Sprinkle with a little sifted powdered sugar. Bake 15 minutes in a preheated 350-degree oven until top is lightly browned. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve immediately. Also good with a very light sprinkling of freshly ground nutmeg or cinnamon.

Cut the core from cabbage. Under running water, carefully remove about 15 leaves to use for the recipe. Have about 2 quarts water boiling; add 1 teaspoon of salt. Dip the cabbage leaves in boiling water, 3 at a time, for about 3 minutes. Remove with tongs, drain and set aside. Mix the meat, onion, cooked rice, margarine, bread crumbs, sage, pepper, nutmeg and salt. Lay a cabbage leaf on a flat surface. Put 2-4 tablespoons of the mixture on each leaf, depending on the leaf size. Put the meat near the base of the leaf, fold leaf up and over the meat, turning under the sides. This will make about 15 rolls. Place the rolls, seam side down, in a greased 2-quart casserole dish. Make two layers of the rolls. Place this dish on rack over 2 inches of simmering water in wok or large heavy pan with rack. Cover pan or wok and steam for 35-40 minutes. TOMATO SAUCE: Melt 4 tablespoons margarine in a skillet. Add the salt, chili powder and the flour. Mix to a smooth paste. Cook over high heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat and slowly stir in the tomato juice.

Measure -----------pound pound ounces

Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------------------------------Canning jars -- * see note fresh tomatoes sugar ginger root cinnamon stick lemon rind -- grated ** see directions for instructions on preparing a boiling water bath

Use red, green or yellow tomatoes. Make sure they are of good quality. Peel, core and slice tomatoes. Cover with sugar and let stand for 12 hours at room temperature. Strain off the juice and boil it until the syrup falls from the spoon in heavy drops. Add the tomatoes, grated lemon or orange rind and the ginger root and cinnamon stick. Cook until the jam thickens. Put into hot sterile jars and process in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes. BOILING WATER BATH: Use a canner made especially for water baths, or use this method. You will need a heavy pan, deep and wide, so that you can put a rack on the bottom. You will need it deep enough to put the jars in and have room to cover the tops of jars with at least 2 inches of water. Water will be boiling so make sure the pan is tall enough. 1. Fill the canner, or pan, half full with hot -- not boiling -- water. Place rack in bottom. Put filled jars in canner so that they do not touch each other or the side of the pan. 2. Add hot water so that the jars are covered with as least 1-2 inches of water. 3. Cover and start timing when water reaches a ROLLING boil. 4. Using tongs, remove jars from water bath and place on a rack away from drafts. Do not tighten lids more at this time since it could break the seal you already have. 5. After 12-24 hours test the seal. The lid will be concave when sealed properly. You may reprocess the jars within 24 hours by putting on new lids and repeating the process.
