B—Lancaster Farming, Friday, March 8, 1957 For the Farm Wife and Family March may come in softly as a lamb or it may make a blustery entrance; but matter 'how it arrives we know that Spring can’t be far away. During these few weeks before farmer weather ar : rives we sometimes find that nor mally healthy appetites are lag ging a little and it is then that we who do the cooking and pre paring of the meals must put forth an extra effort to make the food we prepare more desirable and interesting for those around our tables. This may be a good time to try some new recipes or use a dif ferent touch with the old ones. We are often afraid to try new foods simply because we may not like them. That is really not a fair test so why not try some thing new on your family oc casionally. Their reaction may surprise you! We have all made meat loaves of some kind or other but have you ever tired a Chicken Loaf. Mfs. Marvin Zuck has sent us a recipe for one that can be served either warm or sliced cold.
