Microwave cooking has
| really come in handy for
Kathy Wega. Kathy's hus-
~ band Jack, is chief of the
Dallas Ambulance Crew,
| s0 he is often interrupted
| during a meal to respond
to an ambulance call.
| With the microwave,
Kathy can reheat a meal
‘in minutes without
spoiling the flavor of the
food.
~~ Microwave cooking also
allows Kathy to prepare
foods like pancakes, chili
and spaghetti sauce and
freeze it for later. On
mornings when Kathy, a
substitute teacher in the
Dallas School District,
has to go to work, her
family can have their
~ favorite breakfast, pan-
| cakes, without any fuss or
“bother.
Kathy has adapted
‘many of her regular
| recipes to microwave
cooking. The recipes for
Microwave Ham and
Cheese Bake, Pepperoni
Roll-ups are two that can
be cooked either conven-
tionally or in the micro-
wave. Chicken Casserole
is a microwave recipe
while Beef Roulade is for
the conventional oven.
For a tasty dessert, Kathy
recommends Cherry
Supreme.
Kathy, her husband
Jack and their three
children live on Church
Street in Dallas. The
‘Wegas are both from the
valley; Kathy is from
Forty Fort, Jack from

coordinator of the Title I

children, Meagen, Lance
and Kyle. Meagen, 9, is a
fourth grader at Dallas

With Fall comes Girl

week our Troop 633, baked
pumpkin cookies as their
first cooking project. Al-
though the girls ate more
dough than they baked,
we all had a great time,
