SPRING CLEANING TREAT
After a hard day of house cleaning, you
are almost too tired to eat, let alone cook.
PERK UP! Your dinner can be easy to pre
pare. Make an Egg Pot Pie which is a delicious
and complete meal in itself. You will need
only a salad and a few cookies for dessert to
round it off. Without even trying you will have
all the basic food groups included. Today’s
busy homemaker can be an excellent cook with
a minimum of effort by using the convenience
foods, such as fio/en mixed vegetables, cream
ed soups and, of course, diced hard-cooked
eggs So, go on and finish your house cleaning,
for dinner is under control.
