Potato Salad & French Suarkraut
Potato Salad

5 lbs red potatoes - cut in whatever size you like them.

Red and green bell peppers, red onion, and dill pickles (not dill relish) cut in small pieces (1/4"). Probably about a cup of each but amount to your taste.

1 cup (approx) each of mayonaise and sour cream (again to your taste and sometimes it'll need more than other times), 'glop' of Dijon mustard, a dab of dill pickle juice, Lawrey's garlic salt.

While cutting everything, brown 1 lb. 1/4" thick sliced sausage (I usually use Kielbasa but again it's to your taste). Drain them and pat with paper towel to remove any excess 'fat' off them.

Then just mix together and enjoy.



French Saurkraut

A jar, bag, or lg. can of saurkraut
Drain and put in a pot with water - boil. After it comes to a boil drain it and repeat 4 - 6 times. The point of this is to remove the saur.

While boiling - Cut up several onions and slice a fair bit of fresh garlic. Brown these in butter. Then brown pork chops, a pork roast with garlic cut into it or sausage (Kielbasa/etc.) browned.

When de-sauring is done add the kraut to the onion/garlic saute. Place the meat in the skillet (I usually use electric skillet but can put in a cast iron skillet and cook on stove top or oven or casserole pan in oven). Add kraut mixture and cook slow til meat is done. Salt/pepper to taste.

(This is a French dish - not one someone just wants to call French. I learned how to make it from our French maid when we lived in France.)

Sorry I'm not good at giving exact amounts for almost eveyhing I cook - that's not how I was taught to cook. If anyone is interested in either and needs a bit more explaination - I'll be happy to try.

G'ma's Banana Bread--yummy
OK, this one is top secret, so don't tell anyone ;-) Everyone at work loves when I bring it. I serve it with extra butter or margerine, so that we can all really be "Buttertons."

My Grandmother's Banana Bread

1/2 cup butter
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 large mashed bananas
1/3 cup sour cream
Pinch of salt
2 cups sifted flour
1 tsp baking soda
Brown sugar

Cream butter and sugar; add eggs and bananas. Stir in sour cream. Sift together salt, flour and soda. Stir into batter; pour in greased and floured loaf pan. Sprinkle top with brown sugar. Bake at 325 for 1 hour.

You can throw in some chopped walnuts, if you like. My hubbie hates nuts so I usually leave them out.

Thanks everyone for your responses, and the yummy recipes you have posted. I will get started on trying them immediately. (As soon as i can get up off of this computer and do something constructive. LOL) Anyway, here is my most favorite recipe for this summer. Was served by my Aunt while we were driving across Texas to get to our vacation spot in NM. It was so good, I made a pig of myself, and my husband asked me, after my third helping, and headed to clean out the bowl for my fourth helping, "Don't you think you have had enough?" Here it is:

SPINACH/STRAWBERRY SALAD

1 bag fresh baby spinach
1 small box fresh strawberries, sliced
1/3 red onion, sliced thin and "ringed"
1 cucumber, peeled and diced
1/3 cup sliced almonds (toasted) = can substitute pine nuts if you can find them

Mix in salad bowl and place in refrigerator until you are ready to serve

LEMON ZEST DRESSING

1 large lemon - zest the whole lemon, split down middle and squeeze all juices.
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons White Wine Vinegar
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon poppy seeds

Mix thoroughly until sugar completely dissolves. Refrigerate until serving time.

You can make this your main meal by adding either broiled shrimp or broiled chicken breast. However, my favorite way is just salad.

Enjoy

Cinnamon Rolls
Homemade Cinnamon Rolls (Copy Cat Cinnabon Rolls that you can’t stop eating…ask me how I know)
Dough Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 Tbls. ground cinnamon
(2) .25 oz. pks. active dry yeast (I use 2 TB instant yeast)
1 tsp. granulated sugar
1 cup 110 degree water (approximately)
1 cup warm milk
2/3 cups granulated sugar
2/3 cup melted butter OR margarine
2 tsp. salt
2 eggs – slightly beaten
Up to 8 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup melted butter OR margarine
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts or pecans – optional
1/2 cup melted butter OR margarine
1/3 cup granulated sugar


• Mix together 1 1/2 cups sugar and the cinnamon; set aside (this will be used later to spread on dough)
• In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 tsp. sugar in warm water; set aside (if using instant yeast, you can skip this step)
• In a large bowl, mix together milk, 2/3 cup sugar, 2/3 cup melted butter, salt, and eggs; add yeast mixture and 4 cups of flour to mixture; beat until smooth; stir in enough flour to form a slightly stiff dough.
• Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface and knead for 8 minutes. I always know when my dough is finished kneading (either by hand or machine) when it can stretch quite well. It must be elastic enough.

• Place dough into a large greased bowl, cover, and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 – 1 1/2 hours.
• Punch down dough and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Roll dough out onto a floured surface into a 15″ X 20″ rectangle.
• Brush 1/2 cup melted butter over dough; sprinkle cinnamon sugar evenly over dough; sprinkle nuts evenly over dough, if desired.
• Tightly roll up dough and pinch edges together to seal; cut the roll into 12 – 15 slices using dental floss or thread.
• Coat the bottom of a 13″ X 9″ X 2″ baking pan with 1/2 cup melted butter; sprinkle 1/3 cup sugar evenly in the bottom of the pan. Place cinnamon roll slices close together in the prepared pan; cover pan and allow to rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes or just eye ball them.
• Bake rolls in a 350 degree oven for 25 – 30 minutes, or until golden brown.

Cinnabon like Frosting
• 8 oz. cream cheese
• 8 ounces margarine
• 1 tsp. vanilla ( I love using almond extract for variety)
• 1/2 tsp lemon
• 16 oz. powdered sugar
Beat together, margarine, sugar, and vanilla. Spread frosting on warm rolls and eat until you are stuffed.

Enjoy!
Peace and Love,
Edie

Edie, these sound delicious.

Easy cobbler
I came up with this when looking for a way to spend less time in the kitchen but still provide good food for my daughter. Hope you enjoy as much as we have. I use blueberry, but I'd imagine it would work with anything filling you like

1 package sugar cookie dough
1 can of blueberry filling

Coat a 9x9 in pan with no-stick spray. Use 3/4 of the cookie dough to line the bottom of the pan, pressing in place. Pour can of blueberry pie filling into the pan. Crumble remaining cookie dough on top. Bake at 320 for about 25 minutes, until the top turns golden brown.
SO awesome with ice cream!
