Easy Taters!

Nuke a baking potatoe. Deeping on size will mean how long it takes to make it soft enough.

First, rinse it in cool water and clean off.

Use a fork to cut it and put holes in. Slather butter all over it add salt (or not) and nuke.

Just before it is done, add: No more than 15 sec., maybe 20. Add either:

Sharp soft chedder cheese.
Lemon butter.
Bacon and horseradish dip (Chip) style.
French Onion Dip (same as above dip).

Add a nice salad.

Smile Just for Fun!

My favorite receipe

In preparation for upcoming holiday parties, this is an old 'recipe' but I love it every time it comes 'round:

Tequila Christmas Cake


Ingredients :
1 cup of water
1 tsp. Baking soda
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp. Salt
1 cup of brown sugar
Lemon juice
4 large eggs
Nuts
1 bottle tequila
2 cups of dried fruit

Sample the tequila to check quality. Take a large bowl, check the tequila again. To be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink. Repeat. Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one egg. Beat again. At this point it's best to make sure the tequila is still OK. Try another cup...just in case. Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2 leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit. Pick the frigging fruit up off floor. Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers just pry it loose with a drewscriver. Sample the tequila to check for tonsisticity. Next, sift two cups of salt. Or something. Check the tequila. Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table. Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find. Greash the oven. Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over. Don't forget to beat off the turner. Finally, give the bowl to the dog . Finish the tequila and wipe counter with the cat.

CHERRY MISTMAS!

If you can find an Italina Market.

Get some sausage prepared. If not, heat it up.

Do some Pasta boiled in a pan until soft.
Add sausage and sauce stir.
Heat all together in a sauce pan and serve with bread and garlic/butter spread.

1 cu flour
1 packet oatmeal (or 1/3 cu)
1/3 cu butter or margarine
1/3 cu brown sugar

Next, spread the brown sugar on top of this mixture and sprinkle liberally with cinammon. Bake until bubbly and brown. Serve a la mode with vanilla ice cream (optional yet tasty).... Serves 4-6, depending on portion control!

Spinach Manicotti
Pre-heat oven to 350.

Manicotti shells (packs of 12 usually)
1 lb. hamburger meat
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup onions
1/4 cup butter
2 eggs
1 pkg frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1/2 cup ricotta or cottage cheese

Sauce One:
2 cubes chicken bouillon
1/4 cup butter
2 tablespoons flour
3/4 cup milk
1 Tablespoon fresh chopped parsley (can be omitted)

Sauce Two:
Any red sauce of your choice, can use storebought or homemade

1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
1/2 cup Mozerella Cheese
(can use more of each if you want)

Saute onions and garlic in butter, add hamburger meat and brown. (I sometimes don't use the full amount of butter, just enough to saute the onions and garlic to make it a little healthier).

Once fully cooked, allow hamburger meat to cool. Add in spinach, eggs, and ricotta cheese (you can leave out the hamburger meat and double the spinach and ricotta for a vegetarian dish). Mix well.

Cook manicotti shells according to directions on the package. I usually undercook them a little bit so they don't fall apart when stuffing them.

Sauce One (Can cook while shells are cooking):
Melt butter, and add bouillon cubes (I use granules, they seem to work a little better). Add millk and (sifted works best) flour after cubes disappear, mix well. Bring to a boil for 1 minute, or until it achieves a thick, but still pour-able level.

Stuff cooled sheels with spinach mixture, place in a greased 9x13 pan. Cover with the mixture of cheese, saving a little for the top. Pour over sauce one, then sauce two, then sprinkle some of the leftover cheese on top. Place in oven for 30-40 minutes, minding the cheese so it doesn't scorch.

Serves 10-12. Goes very well with garlic bread and italian caprese salad.

This takes about 30 minutes to prepare plus baking time, even though I have made it for years. I normally make and stuff the shells the night (or 2 nights!) before, and then add everything else when I am ready to serve it. You can also freeze leftovers and pop them into oven with a piece of aluminum foil covering it for a delicious dinner a bit later.
