Dorothy’s Dinner Rolls by Karrie

3 Tblsp yeast dissolved in ½ cup warm water
1 cup sugar
6 eggs
1 ½ tsp salt
2 cubes soft butter
2 cups warm milk

Combine all of the above in a mixer. Add 8 ½ cups flour (1/2 at a time) and mix thoroughly. Place in a large greased bowl and let rise till dough is doubled or tripled. Roll out dough on a floured board (1/2 at a time). Cut dough into triangles using a pizza cutter. Roll up triangles to form crescent roll. Place on a greased cookie sheet and let rise. Bake at 375o for about 7-8 minutes or until golden brown.

Cinnamon Rolls
Use the same recipe as dinner roll dough and let rise once. Roll out dough (1/2 at a time) and cover with ¼ cup melted butter. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll, cut, place on cookie sheet and let rise. Bake 375o for 10-11 minutes or until golden brown. Frost with butter cream frosting.

Orange Rolls
Similar to cinnamon rolls, but instead of sprinkling with brown sugar and cinnamon use orange rind and juice from fresh squeezed orange. Sprinkle with granulated sugar. Frost with orange frosting. Orange frosting is butter cream frosting with orange rind added. Use orange juice instead of milk.

CORA'S BAKED CABBAGE

This cabbage recipe is tradition in the Terry family. Probably young children will not care for it (my younger ones did not until they grew up a little more).

1 pound cabbage, coarsely shredded (about 7 cups)
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
Dash of pepper
1 1/4 cups milk
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
1/2 cup shredded American cheese (or combination of American and Longhorn cheese)
2 tablespoons fine corn-flake crumbs

Cook cabbage in small amount of boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes or just until tender. Drain. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Melt butter and stir in flour, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Add milk and mustard and cook until thickened, stirring constantly, (like a white sauce).
Combine cabbage, sauce and half the cheese. Spoon into buttered round 1-quart casserole. Sprinkle with remaining cheese mixed with crumbs. Bake in moderate oven (350F) for 20 to 25 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.

Vance’s Tortellini Submitted by Allyson

1 cube butter
4 or 5 cloves garlic
6-8 slices cooked bacon*, crushed into bits(or ½ cup fresh bacon bits)
1 pound sliced mushrooms
Milk or Cream (depending on your preference) I like to add Half & Half, but Cream is for sure the best. It makes it so rich and creamy! Fattening too!
1 package fresh Cheese Tortellini (I am sorry that I can’t tell you what size package to purchase. I usually use 1 of the 2 packs from COSTCO. We don’t use the
dried tortellini but rather the fresh that is found in the refrigerator section.

*If you cook the bacon yourself you can keep some of the bacon grease in the pan when you add the butter. Just wipe out most of it so it is not too greasy.

Begin water boiling for your fresh tortellini. We prefer the tortellini to the tortelloni. The tortellini is smaller. We typically us the Cheese Tortellini. Also add about 1 T salt to the water.

While water is boiling, place cube of butter in large skillet, melt over medium low heat. Add 4 or 5 cloves of garlic that has been pressed. Heat in butter but do not brown. Add mushrooms to butter and sauté slightly. Once the mushrooms are sauted add a few tablespoons of flour. The amount of flour will differ – just add enough flour to soak up the butter. Cook the mixture for a couple of minutes to get rid of the floury flavor. (2 or 3 minutes should be good). Add your milk and whisk until smooth.
(Essentially you are just making a cream sauce that has mushrooms, bacon and garlic in it.)

Once the sauce is completed, place off the heat. Add the tortellini to the boiling water. When it is done, drain water – do not rinse, but instead add the cream sauce to the tortellini. Serve with fresh grated parmesan sauce.

Enjoy! This recipe came from a restaurant Vance enjoyed on his mission in Rome.

Weight Watcher’s Eggplant Parmesan Submitted by LaRee

2 T fat-free milk
1 cup Italian-seasoned dry bread crumbs
1 (1 ¾ to 2 pounds) eggplant, unpeeled and cut into ¼ inch slices
2 t extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray 2 baking sheets and a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.

Dip the eggplant in the egg mixture, then in the bread crumbs and arrange in one layer on the baking sheets. Lightly spray the eggplant with nonstick spray. Bake until the eggplant is softened and lightly browned, about 25 minutes.

Add the crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, wine, basil, salt, pepper and sugar; bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes.
4. Spoon about one third of the tomato sauce in the bottom of the baking dish. Top with a layer of half of the eggplant, then another one third of the sauce, then another layer of the remaining eggplant, then the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses and bake, uncovered, until the dish is hot and bubbling and the cheese is golden, about 20 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Tammy's Unbeatable Salmon

I always serve this recipe to guest who say they don't like fish. It is such a big hit that I have passed out this recipe many many times. It will make a fish lover out of anyone! (Tammy)

2-3 lb. salmon, fillet
3 T. salt
2 T. sugar
1 T. brown sugar
2 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp chili powder
¼ tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp. ground fennel seed
2 tsp celery seed
2 tsp. paprika

Combine all the rub ingredients and sprinkle several tablespoons on the flesh side of the fish, working it in with the back of a spoon. Store the remaining rub in an airtight container. If the fillet is from a less oily variety, such as Atlantic, first coat it with a thin layer of mayonnaise. Place the filet on a lightly oiled cooking rack skin-side down and close the grill. Do not turn the fish. Cooking time will vary, any where from 15 minutes to 1 hour. The fish is done when the flesh separates into moist sections with a fork. Don't wait until it separates into dry flakes. Can also be cooked in an 375 degree over or used on different types of fish.
