Golden Parmesan Potatoes

Golden Parmesan Potatoes

• 6 large potatoes
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp pepper
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• parsley

Preheat oven to 375. Peel potatoes and cut into wedges. Toss mixture of flour, cheese, salt and pepper in a bag. Arrange in melted margarine in 9 x 13 baking dish. Bake for 1 hour, turning once. Sprinke with parsley.

*I found my potatoes were done after about 45 minutes in the oven. Depends on the size of your wedges I guess. I like them with sour cream and ketchup.

Chinese Spiced Chicken

I decided to try something different for supper and was pleasantly surprised with how tasty and easy this dish is.

Chinese Spiced Chicken

• 2 to 3 lbs chicken
• 1 tsp garlic salt
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 large green pepper, cut into strips
• 1/4 to 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1 Tbsp oil

Sauce:

• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 tbsp flour
• 1/2 to 1 tsp ground ginger
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• Juice only from 14 oz can pineapple tidbits

Cut chicken into thin strips. Stir fry chicken and spices in oil for approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Add green pepper and fry 5 to 10 minutes longer. Mix sauce ingredients in order given. Add to meat and stir fry until mixture starts to thicken. Add pineapple tidbits, let simmer 15 minutes. Serve over rice.

* This was delicious as is, but I think next time around I'll add more vegetables to make it more of a stir fry. Yum!

Good Waffles

I grew up eating these waffles. Absolutely delicious! I was thrilled to receive a waffle iron as a gift this Christmas, so I attempted my first ever waffles. Yum...

Good Waffles (Recipe from the Mennonite Treasury)

Sift together:

• 3 cups flour
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 4 1/2 tsp baking powder

Beat the yolks of 8 eggs well (saving whites) and add:

• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup heavy cream, sweet or sour may be used (if cream is not heavy use 1 cup)
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1/2 cup melted butter

Add the egg mixture to flour and beat well.

Sauce for Waffles:

• 1/2 cup waffle batter
• 1 tbsp flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup milk

Beat this well. Bring to a boil, one quart of milk and gradually add the flour mixture. Bring to a boil and set aside. Now add the stiffly beaten eggs whites to the waffle batter and bake in waffle iron.

Yield: 10-12 waffles.

We enjoy waffles with strawberries. Ice cream, bananas, saskatoons or just about anything else also goes well with these.

Easy Bean Bake

I love baked beans! So tasty with chicken or anything from the bbq. And it's a very simple recipe.

Easy Bean Bake

• 3 14oz cans of pork and beans
• 1 medium onion, chopped fine and sauteed until tender
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp worchestershire sauce
• 2 tbsp mustard
• dash of tabasco sauce
• 1/2 cup bbq sauce
• 2 tbsp parsley flakes
• 2 or 3 strips of bacon, diced and fried*

Mix all ingredients and put into roaster. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes, covered, until it's heated through and the flavors have had a chance to mesh.

This works great in a slow cooker too.

* The bacon is optional, but I would definately put it in next time. The more flavor the better!
