GREEN TOMATO RELISH
Lillie Rebecca Gregerson Robinson, Recipe #4
This recipe clipped from the newspaper, was found in the back of my Grandmother's 1935 cookbook 'The Household Searchlight Recipe Book'. Mrs. Margaret Wood is a friend of mine and lives just down the street. Ironic that my Grandmother had one of her recipes.
Pictured above is Mrs. Ralph M. Wood, 500 10th St., preparing vegetables for canning. The vegetables must be washed well and the jars and lids must be well sterilized preparatory to the actual canning process. Mrs. Wood has given her recipe for geen tomato relish. The recipe takes 1 gallon ground green tomatoes, 12 green peppers, 2 red peppers and 12 medium onions. Measure all these ingredients after grinding. Grind and mix with 3/4 cup salt. Drain overnight. Cover with half vinegar and half water. Add 1 teaspoon tumeric, 1 teaspoon mustard seed, 1 teaspoon celery seed, cinnamon, cloves, allspice and 5 cups of sugar.
Boil 40 minutes.
Seal while hot. Makes 16 pints.

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
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
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.

BROCCOLI AND CHICKEN CASSEROLE
RESURRECTION ROLLS
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

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.

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.
