Roasted Potatoes

This recipe comes from the back of the Lipton Onion Soup Mix. It is always a hit and so easy.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

1 package of Lipton Onion Soup Mix (dry)
2/3 cup olive oil (but you can use any oil)
4 potatoes – not peeled but chunked (an average size potato cut into eighths should be about the right size chunk)

Put the soup mix and oil into a large zip lock bag and mix together. Add potatoes to bag. Close bag tightly and then turn potatoes until all pieces are coated. Open the bag and pour the contents into a large shallow pan. Any extra oil and soup mix dump onto the potatoes. Spread potatoes across the pan so they are in a single layer, and then bake 20-30 minutes or until the potatoes are done.

Mystery Cookies
(The mystery is these are easy and so very wonderful! From Lisette Barton's Mom)

1 package of Betty Crocker's Oatmeal Cookies - this is the bag; not the box.
Follow directions except use real butter and add 1/2 teaspoon Allspice to
dough.
Bake and enjoy.

Chicken Crepes
By Sadie Hodo

2 eggs
¾ cup milk
4 Tblsp. Butter
½ cup flour
¼ tsp baking powder
1 lb. boiled chicken breasts, chopped very fine
½ lb Monterey Jack cheese, grated
Jalapeno pepper
Heavy cream
Parmesan cheese

Mix eggs, milk, butter, and baking powder together well. Pour one tablespoon of batter into a small buttered omelet frying pan. Roll pan to even the batter and brown slightly on both sides. Roll chicken, Monterey Jack cheese and a slice of jalapeno in crepes. (Not too thick or they will break.) Place in a buttered baking pan and pour over enough cream to moisten the crepes. Sprinkle top with Parmesan cheese. Bake in 350° oven for about 20 minutes or until bubbling all over. Serves 6 people – two each.

Tips:
Use half heavy cream and half fat free half and half for the heavy cream.
Cover about half of crepes with liquid; you do now them to be dry.

Sauté Cabbage
(Don’t get weird on me – this is really good!)

½ cup of chopped onions
½ Head of Cabbage, sliced in into ½ inch strips
Olive Oil (enough to cover bottom of pan)
Coarse Ground Black Pepper

Heat olive oil in a skillet – watch that it doesn’t get so hot that it begins to smoke – add onions. Cook onions until just done; add cabbage. Stir cabbage and onions until cabbage is wilted. Add coarse ground black pepper to taste. Serve hot. Serves 2 or 3.
