For Quick, Tasty
Try
Eating,
One-Dish
After a long, busy day, the first
thing you want to do is escape from
everything and relax. The last
thing you want to do is prepare a
huge dinner. Yet cutting nutrition
by serving dishes from only one or
two of the food groups is not the
way to save time and effort. What
you need are one-dish meals.
Many all-in-one dishes can be
prepared earlier in the day or the
night before, or the ingredients can
be chopped, sliced, grated, or
browned in advance to save time.
If you’d like to get out of the
kitchen quickly, try some of the
meals listed here.

Featured Recipe
Because recipes for toaster pastries are rare and since winter is the
perfect time of the year to bake, I thought you’d enjoy this recipe from
Ruby Jean Hicks of Landisburg.
So get out your rolling pin. Toaster pastries require advance prepa
ration, but when breakfast comes, simply pop the pastries into your
toaster and find out how simple and how delicious breakfast can be.
Mix together:
4 cups flour
2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
Add:
VA cup shortening, mix until crumbly
Beat;
'A cup ice water
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 egg
Add to flour mixture and stir until ingredients are moist. Divide
dough into 5 ballg. Wrap each and refrigerate at least A hour before
rolling out. This makes 5 single crusts. The dough freezes well.
When ready to make the pastry, roll dough into a 16x9-inch retan
gle. Cut into 12 4x3-inch pieces.
2 cups finely chopped apples or peaches
2 tablespoons water
'A cup sugar
VA teaspoon cornstarch
'A teaspoon apple pie spice if using apple OR
'A teaspoon almond extract if using peaches
If apples or peaches are not tart, add 1 teaspoon lemon juic£. If you
like filling a little sweeter, add a little more sugar.
Combine fruit and water. Cook covered about 15 minutes. Mix
together sugar, cornstarch and spice. Stir into fruit mixture. Cook and
stir until thick and bubbly. Cool.
Place a tablespoon of fruit filling on six pieces. Spread to within
one-half inch of the edges. Dampen edges. Cover with the other six
squares of dough. Press edges with a fork to seal. Put on ungreascd
cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees about 12 minutes. The pastries
should not be browned. Cool. Repeat with the other half of the dough
and Ailing. Cool and freeze. When needed, thaw and put in toaster.
Makes 12.
