Vegetable Recipes

Cheesy Veggies

Elena Brower

1 head cauliflower, cut into pieces

2 bunches broccoli, cut into pieces

1 small bag baby carrots

1/4 c. marg. or butter

1/4 cu. flour

2 cups milk

1/2 tsp. salt

pepper to taste

1 cup Velveeta cheese (or can use cheddar, but I like Velveeta better)

Steam veggies until tender, but not too soft. In medium sauce pan, melt butter. Add flour and stir until combined. Add milk and stir with a whisk. Add salt and pepper to taste. Continue cooking and stirring until mixture boils and is thick. If it's too thick, add a little more milk. Add cheese, and continue to stir constantly until cheese is melted. Pour over drained vegetables. Can serve it as is, or put it in a casserole dish and pop it in the oven for 15 minutes to re-warm everything up. You can adjust the vegetables according to what you like: cauliflower only, omit carrots, etc.

Bread Recipes

Bread Sticks

Nell Anderson

1/8 c. Parmesan cheese

1/8 c. butter, softened

1/8 c. Mayonnaise

2 Tbsp. sugar

1 1/2 c. warm water

1 Tbsp. yeast

1 tsp. salt (or a little more if you like)

3 to 3 1/2 c. flour

Combine together Parmesan cheese, butter and mayonnaise. Set aside (goes on top) Combine yeast, warm water and sugar; let yeast start to work, then add salt and flour to make a soft dough. Let set 10 minutes. Grease cookie sheet, put dough on sheet, getting it to all corners. Let rise 1 hr. (when I do it, it only needs to rise about 40-45 minutes. (You will know when it is ready to bake) Put topping on top and bake 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. When ready to serve cut with pizza cutter if you have one.

In the recipe book I have on this recipe it calls for 1/4 c. Parmesan Cheese, 1/4 c. softened butter and 1/2 c. mayonnaise. I have always thought it was twice as much mixture as needed and too rich. It turns out good if I make it just like I have it above. (Just spread a thin layer over it all and it should be fine)

Use the last of the flour (1 1/2 cups) as needed on the board for rolling and shaping the dough. Don't use it all unless you need it.

Great Food Storage Bread

(Ready in 1 hour)

Holly Williams

Full Recipe

10 1/2 cups bread flour (you have to use bread flour)

1/2 cup sugar

3 rounded T. instant yeast

3 T. liquid Lecithin (can be purchased at health food stores)

4 Cups of your hottest tap water

1 tsp. salt

** Mix all dry ingredients first. Add hot water an lecithin. Keep an extra cup of hot water on hand. When measuring Lecithin pour in bowl 3 blobs the size of quarters. It is way too sticky to use a tablespoon measuring spoon.

** Mix for 1 minute. Add more water as needed. The dough needs to be sticky. The stickier the dough the more moist it is. When dough is at right consistency; mix for 7 mins. more. (After 7 mins. you cannot add more flour or water).

**Take pam spray and spray hands and cutting board. (Do not use flour on anything! It will dry out your bread). Spray everything you are going to use.

** Immediately cut into 4 loafs. (You want to do this fast before it start to rise). Cutting is better than breaking it apart.

** Now that you have your 4 loafs you can do what ever you want. You can cook up all 4 into bread loafs or make 1 loaf of bread and breadsticks, pizza crust, cinnamon rolls, cinnamon twists, meal or dessert breads. Anything fun to do with bread. We made this recipe while camping and did scones!

** Cook 350 for 25 mins.

* Make stuffed pizza crust and roll string cheese in crust!

* If you use Wheat flour use 1/2 cup of applesauce in place of some of the water.

* If you don't have a big Bosch, you can split recipe in half and use your kitchen aide.

* Lecithin last about 8 years whether opened or not.

*All ingredients can be put into food storage!

My sister had a lady in Utah come and do a class on this bread. I admit I have not tried it yet, but my sisters family begs her to make it all the time. She does not make homemade bread herself, but says this recipe is sooooo easy to do.
