Crepes

1 cup flour
1 1/2 cups milk
2 eggs
1 Tbs oil
1/4 tsp salt
In a bowl combine all ingredients and beat till smooth. Lightly grease a 6-inch skillet or crepe pan; heat. Remove from heat; spoon in about 2 tablespoons batter. Spread batter evennly. Return to heat; brown on one side only.(What I do is cook until lightly brown flip to the other side and cook until it just firms the batter, about 30-45 seconds.) To remove, invert pan over paper toweling.(I remove it with a spatula and set it on a plate.) Repeat with remaining batter to make 16 crepes, greasing pan occasionally. Fill with fruit or personal choice. Top with whipped cream, if desired.

Enchilada Mexican Style

5 California chili pods
1 pasilla chili pod
Cheese (curds no way) as in cottage cheese. May be bought as "fresh cheese"
This may be substituted with other cheese and or meat shredded beef, chicken, pork, or ground beef.
Chicken bouillon
Chicken broth (or water)
Flour
Corn tortillas
Romaine lettuce
Tomatoes
Avocado
Oil

Place dry chili pods in pan of water. Add enough water to cover pods: pods float so hold down if need to not get to much water. Cover and bring to boil, simmer for about 15 minutes.

Drain water. Grasp stem of chili pull straight out. This removes the core of chili and some seeds.

Place the chili pods in blender. Add chicken broth blend. Strain: this is to remove remaining seeds and bits of chili pods skins. If this sauce is to thin make thickening Rue from a little oil and flour. Add chick bouillon and salt and pepper to taste. Sauce should be about the conscience of "tomato sauce".

Fry corn tortillas in oil. Dip in sauce add cheese/meat roll. Repeat. Top with lettuce, tomato, more cheese, avocado, and/or any other topping you like sour cream, olives etcetera.

Serve.

Frog eye salad

Frog Eye Salad
20 servings

"A creamy pineapple juice and egg dressing is cooked up for this incredible fruit and pasta salad, and when it 's combined with pineapple tidbits, mandarin oranges, pasta and whipped topping, the end result is smashing. Serves twenty."

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 3/4 cups unsweetened
pineapple juice
2 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 quarts water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 (16 ounce) package acini di pepe pasta
3 (11 ounce) cans mandarin oranges, drained
2 (20 ounce) cans pineapple tidbits, drained
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1 cup shredded coconut (optional I don't like the texture this adds)

DIRECTIONS:
1. In a sauce pan, combine sugar, flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pineapple juice and eggs. Stir and cook over medium heat until thickened. Remove from heat; add lemon juice and cool to room temperature.
2. Bring water to a boil, add oil, remaining salt and cook pasta until al dente. Rinse under cold water and drain.
3. In a large bowl, combine the pasta, egg mixture and refrigerate overnight. In another bowl combine the fruit and chill overnight.
4. Combine pasta and fruit and add whipped topping. Mix well, before serving add marshmallows. (some people like to add coconut at this point but I say pass. I also don't like to use the multi colored marshmallows because of all the different flavors. I do like to top the whole thing off with Marchino cherries)


*** Some people like to skip the egg mixture and just use vanilla pudding. This is easier but not quite the results. (in other words everyone will know you took the lazy way out so just make pudding with fruit and leave the frogeye to someone willing to put in the effort)

English muffin Loaf

English Muffin Loaf
1 Tbsp yeast
2 to 2 1/2 c flour
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 c. milk
*1/8 tsp. baking soda
1/4 c. water
Corn meal
Grease 8 1/2 X 4 1/2 inch pan (microwaveable). Dust with corn meal. Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and soda. Heat milk to 120. Add to dry mixture. Beat well. Add water and flour to make soft dough. Put into prepared pan. Dust top of loaf with corn meal. Cover and let rise 45 minutes**. Microwave on HIGH for 6 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes. Remove from pan. Great toasted for breakfast.
*I usually use 2 Tbsp of powdered milk, mixed in with the flour, and a cup of hot -but not to hot- water, rather than heating the milk.** One other caution - watch the rising time, it varies a lot. I've had it ready to cook in 20 minutes.
