I try most every yeast bread dough that comes along. These doughnuts are especially good. They are light, airy and melt-in-your-mouth yeast raised doughnuts and stir together quickly. They don't need kneading. That is a plus. Try them.

Biscuit mix makes stirring together a biscuit dough easy as pie. It makes a fine coffeecake as well. Crushed pineapple is one of my favorite go-to fruits to bake with. Stir up this for your next Sunday morning breakfast.

I prefer recipes for anything chocolate to be made with cocoa. I always have a box of cocoa on hand, chocolate not so much. This recipe makes 2 1/2 cups. Enough for the gang.

This is a fancy carrot salad. Of course i call anything fancy if it has marshmallows in it.

In the summertime, fresh from the garden, Mother would stir up a cucumber and onion salad. She never put sugar in her dish. I do. She combined vinegar, salt and water with the sliced cucumbers and onions. Mother never used sour cream in anything. We didn't have a refrigerator back in the day.

2 large green cucumbers
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons fresh chives or 2 teaspoons dried chives

Eggplant is one of those veggies you either like or you don't. This recipe reminds me of a pizza. I suppose if you added a few slices or pepperoni, you could call it an eggplant pizza.

Occasionally I find onions in a five-pound bag at a reasonable price. Then it's time to make some of my onion recipes. Delicious served with liver or hamburgers.

I bet you have never heard of this combination: cabbage and noodles. Surprise. It tastes great. Of course you can gussy it up with leftovers, such as crumbled sausage patties or links, crumbled hamburger patties, crumbled small slice of meatloaf. 2 or 3 tablespoons cottage cheese , etc. One of these can be added when the noodles are included in the cooking process.

There are a number of ways to prepare and serve summer squash and zucchini. It can even be frozen for next winter's use. Here is a good casserole. Try it and see what you think. Hopefully, it will be pave a place in your recipe box.
