OMELETS IN A BAG


Carol Johansen, Recipe #1

Have you ever heard of this? (This works great! Good for when all your family is together and no one has to wait for their special omelet)
Have guests write their name on a quart-size freezer bag with permanent marker.

Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the bag (not more than 2) shake to combine them.
Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, etc.
Each guest adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shake, Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up.
Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes. You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water.

Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily. Be prepared for everyone to be amazed.

Nice to serve with fresh fruit and coffee cake; everyone gets involved in the process and it's a great conversation piece.

FROZEN RASPBERRY / STRAWBERRY FREEZER JAM


Pam Olsen, Recipe #2

Make the recipe according to the Sure Jell package. I used Less Sugar Sure Jell, which cuts the sugar in half. And it still tastes great.

Mix 1 part Strawberries with 2 parts Raspberries.
Chop (pulse for best results) the Strawberries in a blender, DO NOT PUREE.
Mash Raspberries with a potato masher.
According to the directions, cook the Sure Jell, sugar and water. This boiled mixture allows the fruit to blend well. Much better than Certo.

Three small eggs or two large eggs
Diced black forest ham

Diced green peppers
Diced tomatoes

Pour vegetable oil in frying pan and heat.
Pour eggs into pan and cook until bottom has browned.
Pour ham, cheese and peppers into frying pan.

Cook until done, fold in half and add tomatoes on top.

This is a very simple omlet, you can add hot peppers, onions, more cheese, mushrooms and other ingredients if you wish.

Note: I used frozen peppers and tomatoes.
I cleaned and quartered peppers and tomatoes from my garden last year, put them in plastic containers and froze them.
They are great in salsa and omlets.
They maintain great flavor even after freezing.

WORLD’S BEST BRAN MUFFIN

Kathy Baldwin, Vic Baldwin, Recipe #13

2 ¼ cups All-Bran cereal
½ cup raisins, dried currants or dried cherries
1 cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup whole-wheat flour
½ cup packed light brown sugar
2 tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt
6 TBS. unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 ¾ cups low-fat plain yogurt
½ cup unsulfured molasses
2 tsp. vanilla extract
Raw sugar crystals (optional)

1. Heat oven to 400˚F. IN a food processor, finely grind half the cereal. Add raisins and blend until finely chopped. Transfer mixture to a bowl with remaining cereal, flour, whole-wheat flour, sugar, baking soda and salt; set aside.
2. Combine butter, eggs, yogurt, molasses and vanilla. Stir together wet and dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.

4. You can store remaining batter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Recipe compliments of Ladies Home Journal, March 09. Bran muffins are good for your heart, but too often they taste like cardboard. So we gave ourselves a tough challenge – to create a moist, delicious, satisfying bran muffin that still packs a healthy 3 grams of fiber. Our staffers went crazy for this recipe, and we think you will, too.

FLOUR MUSH


Kathy Baldwin, Vic Baldwin, Recipe #12

1 cup milk
1 cup flour
Butter, cinnamon and sugar to taste

Scald milk and add flour gradually, stirring constantly, until thick (like muffin batter)

Put on your plate, make a hole in the middle for the butter, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.

You take a bite from the outer edge, dip it in the butter and eat. You continue to eat around, not letting the butter escape until the last minute.

My kids loved it.
– handed down from mom and dad, who got it from their parents. Mom called it Flour Mush, dad called it Lumpy Dick

I looked it up online, most have heard of it, but not tried it. Here is one of the websites I looked at: http://www.thenewhomemaker.com/beautifulporridge+

COLE SLAW

Kathy Baldwin, Vic Baldwin, Recipe #11

Cut up cabbage finely.

The trick is the dressing and it is easy:

For every 2 cups of chopped cabbage add:
2 heaping TBS. salad dressing
1/8 cup milk
1 tsp. sugar
Dash salt
Dash pepper

Mix dressing then add cabbage.
For variety, add bananas or other fresh fruit.

APPLECRISP

Kathy Baldwin, Vic Baldwin, Recipe #10

1 No 303 can apples ( or fresh apples [add water before baking] or your own canned apples
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup flour
½ cup oatmeal
¾ tsp. cinnamon
¾ tsp. nutmeg
1/3 cup butter or margarine (melted)

Put apples in small 8” square pan. Mix other ingredients & place on top. Bake 375˚ for 30 min.

This will make 8” square pan – I usually double for 9” x 13” pan.
When all my kids were home, I made 2 pans so it would last 2 meals.

RESURRECTION ROLLS

Kat Baldwin, Kyle Baldwin, Recipe #12

Dear Parents,
I found this cute idea for a FHE on the internet and thought I would share with you.
RESURRECTION ROLLS

Ingredients:
Cresent Rolls
Melted butter
Large Marshmallows
Cinnamon Sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Give each child a triange of crescent roll. The crescent roll represents the cloth that Jesus was wrapped in.
Give each child a marshmallow to represent Jesus' body.
Have them dip the marshmallow in melted butter, representing the embalming oils.
Then dip the buttered marshmallow in cinnamon sugar, representing the spices used to anoint the body.
Then wrap the marshmallow tightly in the crescent roll dough, not rolled like a typical crescent roll, but sealed in.
This represents the wrapping of Jesus' body after his death.
Bake in oven 10 to 12 min. The oven represents the tomb...pretend that takes 3 days.
(this would be a good time for singing songs.)

When the rolls have cooled slightly, the children can open their rolls and discover that Jesus is no longer there.
HE HAS RISEN!!

(the marshmallow melts and the srescent roll is puffed up, but empty)

I hope you all have a Happy Easter and remember the true meaning of the holiday.
Love Sister Oberhansley

STRAWBERRY CAKE

Fay Bailey, Recipe #2

1 yellow cake mix
1 pkg dry Dream Whip
4 eggs
1 cup cold water

16 oz container of cool whip
2 large or 4 small 10 oz frozen strawberries
you can also use fresh strawberries if you have them.

Mix the first 4 ingredients together until smooth.
Pour batter into greased and floured tube pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until cake springs back to touch.
Turn out onto plate after 15 minutes. Cool cake completely.
Cut cake in half—set aside top half.

16 oz container of cool whip
Top lower half with one half container of Cool Whip—top the cool whip with 2 small or 1 large container of thawed strawberries. Put other half cake on tip. Put on rest of Cool Whip and another container of strawberries.
If you stick cake with the handle of a wooden spoon the strawberry juice will go into the cake and makes it very tasty and moist.

This cake will keep in the refrigerator for 3 days if it lasts. It is yummy. This is a recipe from my mother-in-law she made it for many years and everyone loved it.
When you cover the top layer with Cool Whip, cut fresh strawberries in half, leaving stem on it gives great color. Beautiful cake.
