Recipes

Boy, you'd think I was Paula Deen with all the recipe requests I've had lately... Naw, just been lucky with a few meals. And both of these I do by eye, so adjustments may be neccessary for your families. Anyway, for Tara ~ nearly every wife in lodge has a "thing". Pat Kennedy is the deviled egg lady. Emily Pearce is the desert queen., etc. Well, I'm the cobbler lady.

Apple Cobbler

2 cans sliced apples (large cans from Fred's) (You can also use fresh apples, peeled & cut up. Just cover bottom of dish)
ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 sticks butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
Heat oven to 350. Drain apples & place in 9 x 11 dish & sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar to taste. Mix flour, sugar, butter and vanilla (makes a crumbly mixture). Pull into balls in your hands, patting out fairly thin and lay atop the apples, covering, then bake to golden brown.

Now, for Meschelle, Tammy and Robin ~

Cheesy Potato Soup

1/4 cup flour
small box mexican velveeta (or regular), cubed

Add milk and velveeta, stirring constantly until blended and thick. When potatoes are done, add cheese mixture, salt, pepper and parsley. Mix well, top with bacon crumbles  & eat.
