“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.
Judy also is an avid reader and
also crochets - afghans, sweat-

ers, coats and dresses. 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.
