cheese
3 cups unsifted all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 eggs

oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until
golden brown and very firm to

Ham sandwiches are great on
this cheese bread.
This recipe gives us dairy and
grain goodness together. My
young family, with six children,
ages 2 through 14, enjoys bread,
so adding cheeses and milk to a
recipe gets more dairy products
into their diet. I love trying new
recipes and make a new dish at
least once a week. My husband Bill
and / are active 4-H leaders and
our children are in a total of eight
different clubs. All four girls are
learning to cook and enjoy letting
their dad and two brothers taste
test their creations. We look for
ward to summertime when we can
attend and exhibit at our county
fair. This family is kept very busy
with goats, chickens, and horses.
Someday, I would like to own a
cow or two.

/ am the NorthamptonlLehigh
County Dairy Princess. I reside
with my family at Excelsior Farm
in Schnecksville where we rase
approximately 200 registered
llolsteins. I have been keeping
myself busy attending college full
time and being a full-time dairy
princess. I can hardly believe that
almost a whole year has gone by
since my crowning. I have learned
so much about our wonderful
industry that I take great pride in
the title. I have met many interest
ing people along the way. When I
visit the classrooms, it's hard to
believe how much the children
know and don’t know. It has been a
year of personal growth and I am
so glad that I was able to represent
two great counties.

We live on a 132-acre dairy
farm. We have two children, ages
2'A and 11 months. We find living
on a farm is an educational place
for the children to grow up and we
also enjoy working in the garden
and watching the liny seedlings
grow into fruit-bearing plants that
are all a handiwork of God.
