KITCHEN KORNER Here are a couple recipes for a lovely spring week.
VEGGIE SALAD 1 can kidney beans or small red beans, rinsed & drained 1 can white shoepeg corn, drained 1 zucchini, chopped 1 tomato, chopped 1 green pepper, chopped 1 red onion, chopped 6 green onions, chopped 1 can (3.8oz) sliced black olives, drained 1 cup Catalina salad dressing 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese 1½ cups Fritos In large bowl combine all but cheese and chips. Mix well, toss gently with cheese and chips and serve immediately.
SUPER-EASY PIE CRUST 2 3/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1/2 cup milk Mix flour and salt together. Pour milk and oil into one measuring cup, do not stir, and add all at once to flour. Stir with fork until mixed, and shape into 2 flat balls. Roll out each between 2 sheets of waxed paper. Before placing in the pie pan I lift off waxed paper from one side of crust. This allows paper to come off more easily when crust is in place. Gently replace paper and flip crust. Remove second side, then using the waxed paper for support, gently position crust in pie pan, carefully removing remaining waxed paper. Repeat with crust top.
STRAWBERRY GLAZE PIE 8T cornstarch 2 c. water dash salt 2 c. sugar Cook over med-high heat, stirring constantly, until quite thick. Add 1 box strawberry jello and stir well. Let cool then add 3 cups cleaned berries. Place in baked pie shell. Serve chilled with whipped cream.
FAVORITE CHICKEN 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves 1/4 cup Dijon mustard 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce 4 green onions, chopped 1 can mushrooms, drained 1/4 cup bottled roasted red peppers, diced 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a 9x13" baking dish or pan with foil, spray foil with non-stick spray. Measure 1/4 cup mustard in a glass cup measure, add teriyaki sauce to make 1/2 cup total. Stir to blend and pour mixture over chicken in pan. Sprinkle with mushrooms, onions and red pepper. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes; remove from oven and sprinkle with cheese; bake for 10 more minutes or until chicken is done
TIP OF THE MONTH: Use threads of different colors in the needles and bobbin. Then if your seam pulls or bunches, it’s easy to determine if the tension problem lies with the top or bottom thread. Regarding design: if your design is for a more formal quilt, use a crisp contrast. If you are sewing a cuddle-up quilt, use fabrics with less contrast.
