Some Extra Treats to Enjoy

from Sioux Dallas

 

Chili-Cheese Popcorn

1 ½ teaspoons chili powder

1/3 cup firmly packed powdered cheese

1 teaspoon garlic salt

Pinch of garlic cayenne pepper

6 cups fresh popped corn

 

Melt 2 full tablespoons butter or margarine, drizzle over the popped corn. Mix the dry ingredients together and sprinkle  1 ½ tablespoons of the mix over the corn and mix well.

 

German Hot Potato Salad

Peel and cut potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Bring to a boil until tender. Drain and set aside. In a double boiler, over low heat stir in 3 eggs beaten, 1 cup white sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ cup vinegar, 1 cup water. Cook stirring constantly until thick and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon mustard and ½ pint sour cream. Blend carefully and pour over potatoes and blend.

 

Serve hot. Some cooks cut boiled egg slices on top.

 

Waldorf Slaw

6 cups shredded cabbage

Small chunks of apple

½ cup raisins

½ cup English walnuts

1 cup Marzetti Slaw dressing (original or light)

 

Brown Sugar Cinnamon Toast

Toast bread to a golden brown. Spread a liberal layer of butter or margarine. Spread a thin layer of brown sugar (better than white for diabetics) Sprinkle with powdered cinnamon. Place in broiler or toaster oven for one minute. I place mine on a paper plate and put it in the microwave.

 

Fried Banana Pies

I used to make my own yeast bread until I discovered the cans of crescent rolls. Place flour on aluminum paper. Roll two crescents together to make one large rectangle. A banana makes two pies.

Slice the banana in half lengthwise. Lay one half on the bread. Place 1 tablespoon brown sugar on the banana. Optional to add crushed nuts. Bring bread around the banana and pinch it together.

Place in pan in oven at 350 degrees for 8 minutes or until bread is brown.
