Spring will soon be here *. . and one of the first signs is apt
to be tKe falling off of appptites. Now, in Grandma's day that
was the signal to dole out doses of sulphur and molasses (ugh!)
But today it's merely an added incentive to make meals tempt
ing-looking and grand-tasting. So I hope today's suggestions
will help you do just that.
STRETCHING EXERCISE FOR MEAT
To make one lb. of pround beef
serve 6 people, combine it with 1
medium onion (chopped), 1 can of
vegetable soup and 2 cups of
SUNNYFIEI.D
RICE GEMS.
Season, pack into
bakinp dish and
bake in a moder
ate oven, 375?F.,
1 hour. You eet
extra nourishment as well as extra
portions by using SUNNY FIELD
KICE GEMS as a meat extender,
because they contain precious vita
mins and minerals. Serve them
often for breakfast, too. They're
thriftily priced at A&P.
SOME CRUST!
Like cheese with your apple pie?
Then use it as a top crust. And for
rich, tangy flavor, use MEL-O-BIT
AMERICAN CHEESE from the
A&P. Just bake your pie minus the
top crust, and 10 minutes before
you take it from the oven, lay
slices of MEL-O-BIT (about %
thick) over the apples. Umm, what
a crust!
SHAMROCK SALAD
Come St. Patrick's Day, stuff
preen peppers with softened cream
cheese tinted green, chill 4 hours,
cut in \4" slices and arrange in
threes like shamrock leaves, with
strips of pepper for stems. Pretty
as a colleen . . . and delicious with
this dressing: Blend lA tsp.
tard, % tsp. salt, dash of cayCTme
and 2 tbsps. sugar with 1 cup un
diluted WHITE HOUSE MILK;
add 1 tbsp. vinegar gradually, stir
ring till thickened. Smooth? Of
course ? thanks to creamy-rich
WHITE HOUSE MILK from the
A&P. Try it!
CAKE THAT TAKES THE CAKI
Do your cakes crack, hump or have
tough crusts? Then chances are you
use too much flour. Be careful to
measure accurately. Sift and spoon
flour lightly into
cup without pack
ing down. Level
cup with knife.
For lighter, finer
textured cakes, be
sure to use SUN
NYFIELD CAKE FLOUR from
i the A&P.
