Guess who again? Yes, my “so-called friend Carole”. With friends who use these kinds of recipes, who the heck needs enemies? Fortunately, in Milwaukee, bikinis and shorts are only worn 2 months out of the year! INGREDIENTS: Acorn squash cut in half lengthwise (1/2 squash per person) Brown sugar Butter (of course!) Fill the center…

DAUPHINE POTATOES
Dauphine potatoes are “cute” little potatoes that go very well with sophisticated meat entrees such as fillets, lamb etc. They look very delicate on the plate and are quite pleasing and light. I serve only four or five per person. 1 cup water 1/2 cup butter 2 tsp. salt 1 cup flour 4 eggs 2…
CREAMED CORN
Would you believe I made this up? No?… O.K. ..It’s not my recipe! I got this from Mr. Gulliver, himself… Actually friends, this is the recipe published in the “Los Angeles Times Cookbook”. Yes, it’s Gulliver’s Creamed Corn. A few of you never thought you’d have to think about this again, did you? Ha…Ha…Gotch’ya! 8…
MOM’S HAM AND GREEN BEANS
Ever since I was a little girl, 10 or so years ago, I remember having my mom’s ham and green beans. I’m sure I’m not the only gal from the Midwest who has grown up with these as a way of life. I LOVE ‘EM! Fresh green beans, washed, snapped at each end and broken…
MRS.LEWANDOWSKI’S PARSLEY BUTTER POTATOES
Mrs. Carole Caine Schefelker Lewandowski, alias-Carole, made these decadent potatoes for us once quite a while ago and I’ll never forgive her for it.

RANCH STYLE POTATO SLICES
My mother-in-law and I found this recipe, when she was in Milwaukee for a visit last fall. It’s easy and yummie. This recipe calls for a cheese sauce. You can make a cheese sauce with any of your favorite cheeses by simply grating the cheese and melting it in a small saucepan with a little…
QUICK AND EASY VEGGIE CASSEROLE
A delicious vegetable side dish for which you may use just about anything “leftover” in your vegetable bin that can’t quite be served as a crunchy, fresh veggie with dip or in a fresh salad. BASIC INGREDIENTS: (Select whichever ingredients you have on hand) Cauliflower Onions Tomatoes (Cherry or chopped) Asparagus Broccoli Swiss cheese Monterey…
MY HUSBAND’S SPINACH CASSEROLE
Extremely difficult: To be prepared by, only, those of you who have had at least 4 years of the “Julia Childs’ Cooking Class” at the Sorbonne. Super good, just be sure this is served with something straight-forward, like a great BBQ’d steak, some poached fish or something like that. Nothing rich. 2 10-ounce pkgs. frozen…
