Grilled Lemon Chicken
Wendy (Cleveland) Siegel, a food network junkie
-this recipe is from the Ina Garten, the "Barefoot Contessa", her tv show runs
frequently on the Food Network.
3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (4 lemons)
3/4 good olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme (1/2 teaspoon dried)
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
Whisk together first 5 ingredients and pour over chicken breasts in a nonreactive bowl.
Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 6 hours or overnight - the longer the better.
Grill chicken breasts for 8-10 minutes on each side, until just cooked through. Cool
slightly and cut diagonally in 1/2 inch thick slices. I using as appetizer, skewer with
sooden sticks and serve with peanut sauce.
Satay dip
1 tablespoon good olive oil
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
2/3 cup small-sice red onion
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons good red wine vinegar
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons dry sherry
1 1/2 freshly squeezed lime juice
Cook the olive oil, sasame oil, red oinion, garlic, ginger root, and red pepper flakes in
a small pot on miduim heat until the oinio is transparent, 10 - 15 minutes. Whisk in the
vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, peanut butter, ketchup, sherry, and lime juice; cook for 1 more
minute. Let cool for serving. (The dip will last for a month in the refrigerator. I had
quite a bit left, so this was good to know.) |
Blooming Bread
Connie (Wiedrich) Samuelson
Use terra cotta pots to bake bread for Easter gifts or Mother's Day gifts.
1 T. dry yeast
1/2 c. lukewarm water
1 t. sugar
1-1/4 c. warm milk
1 T. butter
2 heaping T. sugar
2 t. salt
1-1/4 c. lukewarm water
6 c. flour
1. Combine yeast, 1/2c lukewarm water and 1 t. of sugar
2. Let the mixture puff while you mix together the warm milk, butter, salt, 2 T. of sugar
& 1-1/4c of luke warm water
3. Add the yeast mixture and stir
4. When it has all dissolved, stir in the flour, 1 c. at a time. Mix well then turn the
dough out onto a floured board
5. Knead quickly for 3 - 5 minutes. Let rise until almost double
6. Fold it over and knead for another 3 - 5 minutes. Cut into 3 or 4 small loaves
7. Wash and grease 4 - 6 inch clay flowerpots
8. Put dough into containers and let rise again until puffy and double in size.
9. Bake in preheated oven 340 degrees for 35 minutes. Glaze with butter, sprinkle with

sugar and
cinnamon. |

KNOEPHLE SOUP
Kelly (Soby)BroeckelWhen I make this, I usually double the recipe. It’s
REALLY good the second day. My mother-in-law also uses this recipe but adds sour cream to
it. It’s really good that way too.
| Dough Ingredients |
Soup Base Ingredients |
1 ¾ cups flour
1 egg
½ cup water
1 tsp. salt |
1 cup diced onions
1 ½ cups diced potatoes
1 ½ cups precooked ham cubed
3 chicken bouillon cubes
Salt & pepper to taste
4 cups milk
½ cup cream |
| Knoephle |
Soup |
| Combine dough ingredients to make a medium
stiff dough. Chill. Add more flour if needed. Take 2 tablespoons of dough at a time and
roll between palms of hands until they’re about as thin as a pencil. Cut this roll
into ½: pieces on a floured board. Cook dough pieces in a large kettle of boiling water
for about 20 minutes, stirring often so knoephle won’t stick together. Drain &
reserve. |
Sauté onions in 2 tablespoons of butter. Add
potatoes, ham, and bouillon cubes. Add enough water to cover ingredients and cook for
about 25 minutes. In a large kettle combine the cooked knoephle, potato and ham mixture
and add the milk and cream. There should be enough milk to cover. Simmer for another 20 to
30 minutes, stirring occasionally. |

Chocolate Cream Trumpets from the Chocolate Mousse cookbook. A French, rolled
cookie, filled with Chocolate Cream – absolutely worth the effort.
Julie Lindstrom
Makes 6 doz.
Cookie:
3/4 cup egg whites (6 to 8 eggs)
1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup warm melted butter
1/4 cup warm melted vegetable shortening
1 cup flour
3/4 cup finely chopped almonds
In a mixing bowl, blend egg whites, sugar and salt until sugar is dissolved and mixture is
thick (5 to 10 minutes).
Slowly mix in butter and shortening. Stir in flour and almonds. Drop by scant teaspoonfuls
onto greased and lightly floured baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees until edges are
lightly brown.
Quickly remove cookies and shape like cornucopias. Place cookies open-side down as they
cool, so they will hold their shape as they harden. When cool, fill with Chocolate Cream.
Chocolate Cream:
1/2 cup butter, softened
5 egg yolks
1/3 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup milk
3 (1-ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate, melted
2 cups or more powdered sugar, sifted
In a mixing bowl, cream butter. Add egg yolks, salt and milk; beat until creamy. Stir in
melted chocolate. Gradually add enough powdered sugar so frosting holds its shape but is
not stiff or dry. Pipe chocolate into cookies with decorating tube or fill by dropping
teaspoonfuls into cookie opening. If you wish, decorate ends of cookies by dipping them in
nuts, coconut, powdered sugar, sprinkles, etc. |

Chicken Adobe
Tammy (Schlinger) Siems
1/2 cup of Soy Sauce
1/2 cup of vinegar
1/2 cup of water
must be equal parts, can add more or have less depending on how much chicken you are
cooking
Then add:
Bay leafs-to taste
pepper corn -to taste
garlic -to taste
Pour over chicken and cook for 45 min to an hour on Med High.
When chicken is done you may pour the sauce over white rice to add flavor to your
rice.(use a strainer to catch the peppercorn)
If you want to use it for gravy just add corn starch to thicken it.
You may also use this for Pheasants or any other wild game, it takes the wild taste away. |
Seafood Casserole
Kaye (Bibelheimer) Knudson
2 packages of Uncle Ben's Wild rice (I only put in one seasoning Pack)
2 1/2 cups of water
1/2 cup of cooking sherry
1/4 cup butter
2 cans of cream of shrimp soup
1 can mushrooms or fresh
1 can sliced water chestnuts
1 pound of cleaned shrimp
1 pound of scallops
Mix all ingredients cover and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15
minutes. Check half way through and stir occasionally.
The original recipe calls for plain wild rice. However you have to soak
it, then cook it! Using Uncle Ben's is much faster and you don't have to
pre-cook. Tastes Awesome!

One head of lettuce
One head cauliflower
One head broccoli

1 lb. of bacon fried and crumbled
Dressing:
One cup of mayonnaise
1/4 cup of Sugar
(this can be doubled if you like more dressing) |
Platter Apple Dip
Pam (Eckroth) Schroeder - "Try it yourself. It goes over so big everytime I take it
anywhere."
1 8oz. Philladelphia Cream Cheese (Softened)
1/3 cup + 2 Tblsp. Brown Sugar
1 jar of Mrs. Richardson's Carmel Fudge Ice Cream Topping
2 Heath Bars (Frozen)
4-5 Large Red Delicous Apples
Sprite or 7-up
Mix together cream cheese and brown sugar until well blended.
Spread this on a platter.
Pour carmel topping over cream cheese mixture and cover with topping completely (will use
about 3/4 of the jar).
Break up Heath Bars and sprinkle over top of carmel. Cover and refridgerate for at least 1
hour.
Cut apples into slices and dip slices
immediately in Sprite or 7-up. This works the same as lemon juice to prevent the apples
from turning brown, but it sweetens the apples more than lemon juice will.
Sprite should bubble up when apple slices are dipped in, when bubbling stops use new
sprite.
Serve apple slices with dip. |

Brie Cheese with Caramel Sauce
Wendy (Cleveland) Siegel
Ingredients:
Brie
Sweetened condensed milk
pecans
crackers
Remove labels from can of condensed milk. Simmer unopened can in double boiler ( I set
them in a steamer with extra water) for 4 hours adding water occasionally. When ready to
use open can, reheat in kettle and pour over brie. Sprinkle with pecans. ( I like to do
three or four cans at a time. Since they are still unopened, they can set on the
shelf for a few weeks until needed for entertaining.) It's always a hit. |
JUICE RECIPES
"The Life Force"
compliments of Steve Kubisiak
The three recipes below will require you to own a juice machine. I recommend "The
Juiceman II" or "The Juiceman Junior." You can buy the Junior or other
types of juicers at Walmart or order online. The idea is to get away from processed juice
like V-8 or other juice you can buy. Make your own!!
Recipe #1
2 apples ( I prefer Granny Smith Apples)
5 leaves of lettuce ( use dark green lettuce like romaine, red or green lettuce)
-- clean, cut apples into pieces and juice in machine. Stir and drink.
Recipe #2
10 small pieces of pineapple
handful of cranberries
2 oranges
two handfuls of grapes( green or red)
small piece of ginger
--clean, place in machine, stir and drink.
Recipe #3
6-8 carrots
--clean, cut, place in machine, stir and drink
Obviously you can create any combination you would like.
As I am cutting the fruits/vegetables, I place some in a container and eat them whole
during the day for fiber.
While you are at it, throw some nuts/seeds in the container. |
RAY’S 2ND FAVORITE BREASTS
compliments of Ray Horner
Ingredients:
1 Skinless Chicken breast ( bone in ) per person.
1-2 packs of sliced and individually wrapped swiss cheese (wrappers make it easier, but
not essential)
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can of mushrooms (optional)
1 box of chicken stuffing (Stove Top variety)
1 cup milk ( I use 1% or 2%)
½ cup butter (to be melted)
Take a casserole pan that can hold the number of breasts so that each one is flat on the
bottom of the pan with the bone side down. Place the slices of swiss chees evenly over the
chicken breasts so that they are completely blanketed. Mix the can of cream-of-chicken
soup with one can of milk and the can of mushrooms and pour over the cheese. Open the
stove top bread crumbs and sprinkle over the top of the soup mix. Then open the season
package from the stuffing and sprinkle that over the top. Melt the butter and pour over
the top of the stuffing and seasoning. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 1.5 hours.
It is a great idea to bake some potatoes with this dish, because the cheesy mix goes great
as a topping/stuffing for them!!
WARNING: This is not a diet dish!! Do not tell your personal trainer where you got it! Bon
Appétit!!! |
