8 ® I» — EA Sharon Spencer By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staft Correspondent Sharon Spencer, her husband, Wil- liam, and their son, Shaun, live in a modern log cabin on Sorber Moun- tain in Lake Township. Situated on the top of the mountain, the sur- roundings are an ideal setting for their log home. A large porch across the front affords them a gorgeous view of the valley below. Sharon’s husband, with some help from family members and friends, built the log house himself. He also built a large natural wood hutch which blends beautifully with the natural log walls. The former Sharon Shurmanek of Chase, both she and Bill graduated from Lake-Lehman. It was in school that Sharon met Bill and, in 1972, married him. They built their home on Sorber Mountain eight years ago, deciding on the log house because it blended so naturally with the envi- ronment. An L.P.N., Sharon is employed in the offices of Drs. Sherwood, McIntyre and Gardner in Tunkhan- nock, where she thoroughly enjoys her work. Recently, she joined the Ladies Country League at Bonomo’s Sports Center, an activity she finds both fun and relaxing. Sharon also plans to try quilting a needlecraft which fascinates her. When she has the time, she does acrylic painting, usually decorating pieces of pottery or china. Kept busy chauffering Shaun to various athletic practices, Sharon does not have a lot of leisure time. When she does have the time, she enjoys cooking and likes to plan entire menus such as those she shares with Dallas Post readers this week. Sharon submitted recipes for an entire meal including punch, vege- table casserole, meat entree and dessert. The Party Punch can be made in large quantities for entertaining or in smaller amounts fo serve at family dinner. The Broccoli Casser- ole is a family favorite and easy to prepare. It is delicious served with the Honey Soy Chicken which makes a nutritious, low-fat but tasty entree. To top off a delicious meal, serve Cherry Coconut Roll. This recipe takes slightly more time to prepare but the end result makes it well worthwhile. For those homemakers interested in a dinner for family or friends, we suggest they try the above recipes. We are certain they and their dinner guests will enjoy them. PARTY PUNCH 1 6-0z. can frozen orange juice 2 cans water 11g. can pineapple juice (46-0z.) 1 c. sugar Freeze in round containers. When ready to serve punch, put contain- ers of frozen ingredients into punch bowl. Pour one quart of ginger ale over frozen ingredients and slush it up with a fork. HONEY SOY CHICKEN Sauce: . 1/3 c. soy sauce 1 c. honey We have all heard that “breakfast is too important to miss.”” However, the habit of breakfast skipping still prevails. According to Dairy, Food and Nutrition Council, breakfast is a prime time to replenish the body’s lowered nutrient supplies for a new day. Skimping or skipping breakfast makes it difficult to get all the needed nutrients later from meals or snacks. Research shows that breakfast eaters are better able to think and learn during morning hours, can do more and better work, react quicker and tire less easily. Teenage girls and women have the poorest breakfast habits. They give such reasons as (1) not hungry; (2) watching weight; (3) food in the morning “makes me sick;”’ (4) not enough time. Enjoy traditional breakfast foods or try ‘different’ ones to spark interest. To encourage better break- fast habits: (1) Offer noneaters one food at first - fruit or cheese, a cup of cocoa or milk - and add more food grad- ually in the next two or three weeks. (2) Keep breakfast-ready foods on hand -ready-to-eat cereals, milk, fruit, juice, cheese or eggs. (3) Plan a two-week ‘‘Give Break- fast a Try” time. Urge ‘‘skippers” to join, then honestly assess if they feel and perform better when they eat. Without breakfast, dieters are more apt to overeat at lunch. Studies show weight reductin is much easier to manage when break- fast is eaten. A breakfast which supplies about one-fourth of the day’s protein, calo- ries, minerals, and vitamins is rec- ommended. This amount helps the body perform more efficiently than a larger or smaller morning meal. For those who choose a midmorning snack instead of breakfast, studies show that a midmorning snack improves performance for breakfast skippers by only 45 percent.
