Recipe Tree

I participated in a "Recipe Tree" through email last week.
I sent out a recipe & forwarded the idea to several friends who in turn emailed me recipes & the others received them, too!
It was fun... I liked it a lot... hearing from ones that I don't really even know, but who sent great recipes... out of the 7 recipes that I rec'd so far, 3 have been for Mac & Cheese!! lol

The email looks like this, if you want to start one: *(cut & paste into your email, then send to 20 friends)

1. friendsname@email.com
2. otherfriendsname@email.com


Please send a recipe to the person whose name is listed in the number 1 position above (even if you don't know them, I do!) and it should preferably be something quick, easy and without rare ingredients.

Actually, the best one is one you know in your head and can type out and send right now.

Then, copy this letter into a new e-mail, move my name to the number 1 position and put your name in the number 2 position. Only my name and your name should show when you send your e-mail. Send to 20 friends.

If you cannot do this within 5 days, let me know so it will be fair to those participating.

You should receive 36 recipes. It's fun to see where they come from!

Seldom does anyone drop out because we can all use new recipes.

The turnaround is fast because only 2 names are on the list.
Thanks for participating!

My Favorite "OLD" Cookbook & Pancake Recipe

My fav cookbook is the Better Homes & Gardens NEW COOK BOOK, from like the year I was born! (seventies, maybe??!!) My mother actually used this cookbook *(see the mess on the pages & the cover? Shows it is a good cookbook, like I said!!) & it has *THE*BEST* Pancake recipe ever!

Favorite Pancakes Recipe
1 & a 1/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour (use unbleached, for health)
3 t. baking powder*
1 T. Sugar
1/2 t. salt
1 beaten egg
1 cup milk
2 T. vegetable oil
Sift dry ingedients together (which I never do).
Combine egg, milk, & oil; add to dry ingredients, stirring just until mositened.
Cook on hot griddle # When it bubbles, it is about done.
Makes about 12 dollar-size or eight 4-inch pancakes
(which is why I triple this recipe for our growing children!)

#Hot Tip:(when you sprinkle drops of water on it & they sizzle into oblivion, then it is the right temp.)
*Hot Tip:
Always use baking powder with NO Aluminum... and by the way, All baking powders in the grocery stores contain aluminum, that we have in around here,
except Rumford Brand, which is owned by Clabber Girl, which HAS alum. in it!! Go figure!

“CRATER TATERS”- Recipe

(So, my son dubbed this recipe) Crater Taters

is essentially it is meatballs placed on top of a hashbrown casserole.
I got it off of orgjunkie.com
Menu-Plan-Monday's website… which they, in turn got it from
Taste of Home’s site.

The "frying of the meatballs" session was easy enough...

END RESULT: It looked yummy & tasted yummier.
