March 12, 1997 THE NEWS-JOURNAL RMfbrd, N.C. Ways to spice up your home cooking I’ve heard many people say that after a few years of marriage, they’re tired of cooking and eating the same dishes. Like everyone else, I fall into a rut of prepaiing the same meals because they're familiar and I always have the ingiedients, but even if I am making a one of those every-day dishes, I have found that 1 enjoy try ing a new twist for the sake of variety. The thing with trying an alternate ingredient is that sometimes you cre ate a scrumptious dish and other times you have to feed the whole meal to the dogs. After talking with some friends and thinking about my ow n cooking, I have accumulated a few new twists on some otherwise familiar dishes. Breakfast For a dairy delicious breakfast, you can layer slices of cheese be tween two pieces of French toast. By the time the toast is done, the cheese will be melted. It’salmostlikeagrilled cheese with a sweet flavor. Reduce your calories when eating Xristin ’s Comer by Kristin Guthrie French toast by substituting jelly or jam in place of syrup. Before cooking the toast, you can put jelly between two slices of bread. Cook the toast as usual with jelly between two slices and then eat. You still get the same sweet flavor without the mounting calories in syrup or powdered sugar. In place of nutmeg or cinnamon in pancake or French toast batter, try pumpkin spice to add a kick to the morning. Kids don’t always love oatmeal, but you’d have to check their pulse if they said they didn’t like chocolate. Add instant hot chocolate to each bowl of oatmeal and watch it disap pear. They’ll even ask for seconds. Super Soups Spice up your tomato soup by add ing a bit of Worcestershire sauce and prepared mustard mixed in. Beef up plain tomato soup with rice, pasta or chunks of potatoes. It’s okay to prepare soup from a can, but add some extra vegetables to the regular vegetable soup or some extra pasta to chicken noodle soup and watch your family say you make great homemade soup. Exceptional side dishes Folks will go back for seconds when regular pork and beans are made with an extra 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of butter for every 16-ounce can. A little brown sugar also cuts down on the tartness of homemade coleslaw with vinegar. It’s okay to use instant potatoes, but you’ll convince your family they’re homemade when you use milk instead of water in the recipe and add more butter or margarine than the directionscall for and a pinch of sugar.

She told me to bake a meatloaf as usual, but to add a sauce of 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup ketchup and 2 tablespoons of vinegar. Twenty min utes before the loaf is done cooking, she said to add the sauce on top and then finish cooking. Another alternative is to make a meatloaf with the addition of Cheddar cheese and top it with hickory-fla vored barbecue sauce. Try any of your favorite barbecue sauces and see which one you like best. Try cooking a beef roast with a package of onion soup mix, a can of mushrooms and some coffee. The roast will turn out tender, juicy and delicious. Another friend suggested cooking a roast with a thin layer of horseradish on top. Photo by Kristin Gulhris Say hello to Bartholamew.

Gardening: Gardening contest offers cash prizes You have probably seen giant fruits and vegetables at the North Carolina State Fair and farmers markets, and they’ve most likely made you smile. It’s an unexplained phenomenon why we are attracted to these enor mous fruits of the earth, but giant produce has a certain appeal whether it is because they are oddly shaped, funny looking or just downright gar gantuan. If you’ve ever wanted to try growing large produce, this could be the year to experiment. Giant Growers Association, a new Ra leigh-based organization, is offer ing $^5,000 in cash prizes in a Sept. 13 contest to be held at the State Farmers Market. Prize money will be awarded to first through 10th places in seven categories including watermelons, pumpkins/squash, tomato, cantaloup, dipper gourd, bushel and sunflower head. First prize in the watermelon and pumpkin/squash categories is $5,000, with a total of $9,700 being offered in each cat- ; egory. GGA President Henry Pleasant hopes the $35,000 in prize money will attract a number of growers from across the state and nation. “We want this thing to go over big and we wanted to offer enough money to make it worthwhile for growers to bring their giant veg etables to North Carolina,” Pleas ant said. Already, the group has attracted membership from recreational growers in surrounding states. Pleasant said the association also hopes to add youth categories in th^ future. To enter, participants have to be members of GGA 45 days prior to the contest.Entries must be brought to the State Farmers Market for weighing. For more information contact ' Pleasant at (919)639-6011 or (919) 639-2644.
