THE DALLAS POST/Wednesday, February 13, 1985 5 Cookbook ——School menus— ) % Judy Falzone By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Correspondent “I love to cook when I have the time,” said Judy Falzone of Northmoreland. “I enjoy barbe- cuing on our gas grill and I like to prepare food for our annual family outing which we have at our home. All of my relatives and my husband, Tom’s relatives come to that and I just love getting ready for it.” Tuesday through Saturday of each week, however, Judy plans easy-to-prepare menus for dinner, meals which her son, Scott, and daughter, Regina, can get ready when they come home from school, since Judy does not usually get home from work until the dinner hour. Judy is general manager of Mary Taylor’s four Hair & Skin Care Centers, but spends most of her working hours at the shop located at Hickory Corners. A native of Forty Fort, she gradu- ated from Forty Fort High School and later, from Empire Beauty School. Since Monday is Judy’s day off, she usually prepares formal dinners, Sunday and Monday and plans casserole meals for the other evenings. Since her chil- dren were old enough to assume responsibility, Judy had assigned them various household duties including some preparation of meals. She has collected numer- ous recipes that are nutritious, tasty and easy to prepare. When she has leisure time, the entire Falzone family go horse- back riding, or roller-skating.

She is an animal lover so the Falzones have lots of pets including dogs and geese among others. The Falzone family moved to the Back Mountain six years ago when they built their home in Northmoreland. This week Judy shares three of her easy-to-prepare recipes with our Dallas Post readers. They are equally as delicious as they are easy. The Chicken Casserole, served with a green salad, makes a complee nutritious meal and topped with the Easy Des- sert can also be served to guests, expected or unexpected. The des- sert is as attractive as it is tasty. Scot’s Favorite Peanut Butter Chews are so easy to prepare that Scott or Regina can make them. They are so tempting if you're on a diet, don’t start eating them since youll find it difficult to stop. CHICKEN CASSEROLE 1 chicken, cut up 6 potatoes Herb-Ox onion seasoning Several pats butter+ Salt and pepper Remove skin from chicken, cut up potatoes. Place chicken and potatoes in casserole, put pats of butter on top. Sprinkle with sea- sonings. Cover and do in micro- wave on high for 25-30 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes.

This year, three varieties of evergreens are being sold - Colordado Blue Spruce, Douglas fir and Scotch Pine. along with Sugar Maple and White Flow- ering Dogwood.
