Bill's Coleslaw
1 cup Miracle Whip salad dressing
1 cup Dorothy Lynch salad dressing
1/2 tsp. Celery salt
1/8 tsp. Onion powder (this is optional)
Pinch pepper
1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar. This depends on how sweet you like it. Bill liked it more sweet.
2 bags coleslaw mix
Wisk together first 6 ingredients in large bowl. Add one bag of coleslaw mix. Refrigerate
till time to serve. When you add the first bag of coleslaw mix it will seem a little dry.
After it sits awhile it will be fine. Adding the second bag later gives you both a creamy and
crunchy salad.
Bill liked to have this coleslaw for lunch with just club house crackers and something cold to
drink.
Fruit Salad
1/2 cup pineapple juice
2 Tbls. Lemon juice
1 Tbls. Corn starch
1/3 cup sugar
Mix sugar and cornstarch in small sauce pan. Add lemon and pineapple juice to pan. Bring to boil and then simmer till thick and clear. If the sauce seams a little thick it will thin out when the fruit is added. Be sure to watch carefully as it will scorch.
Let sauce cool. Drain can of pineapple chunks and mandarin oranges. Add to cooled sauce. Other fruit can be added as you like. I like to add bananas, strawberries or maraschino cherries. Grapes and kiwi are also good.
This is a great salad in the winter when fresh fruit is not at its best. This salad is a great addition to a brunch, also for Easter dinner. This is one of my daughter Susan's favorite salads. It can also work as a light dessert with a cookie or biscotti.
Cheddar Corn Chowder
1 onion chopped
6 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 tsp. Salt
6 slices bacon cooked till crispy and crumbled
2 chicken bouilon cubes
2 cans creamed corn
1 cup frozen corn
1 can condensed milk "not sweetened"
2 cups milk
1/4 cup sugar
12 oz. Shredded cheddar cheese
Place onion, potatoes, salt and enough water to cover in pot. Bring to boil, then simmer until
tender. While this is cooking put all other ingredients in large crock-pot on high. When potato
mixture is done add to crock-pot. Reduce heat to low and let cook for an hour. If you let cook
longer than an hour be sure to watch that it does not curdle.
This is great with home made bread and cold meat. Enjoy!!
Amish Stew
2 cans chicken broth
1 cup diced carrots
1 large onion chopped
4 cups peeled and diced potatoes
1/2 cup regular rice (not instant)
1/2 cup shell macaroni
1/2 pound Velveeta cheese, chunked
1/4 cup sugar
salt and pepper to taste
Pour chicken broth into large pot. Add carrots and onions, bring to a boil. Add potatoes and
rice, simmer for 15 mins. Add macaroni and simmer for another 10mins. You might have
to add a little water during this time if mixture is to thick. Add Velveeta cheese and sugar.
Pour in enough whole milk to stew to consistency you like. Some people like it very thick,
others a little thinner. Simmer on low until cheese is melted and it is nice and hot. Add salt
pepper to taste. Be sure to stir often so it does not stick to bottom and scorch.
Sometimes I add a large canned of boneless white chicken with broth.
You can also make this vegetarian by cooking it in water instead of chicken broth.
This is one of my families favorite soups. I hope you enjoy it also.
