Busy schedule
requires easy to
make recipes
By CHARLOT M. DENMON
Staff Correspondent
Pat Nicely of Dallas, this week’s
Dallas Post cook,is an account coor-
dinator for Ambassador Greeting
Cards, a division of the Hallmark
Company. In her position, she
covers the entire Northeastern area
of Pennsylvania conducting semi-
nars for the salespersons under her
supervision, hiring new salespeople,
training them and setting up depart-
ments in the 51 locations she covers.
Her work takes up much of her
time so Pat has collected a variety
of easy and quick to prepare reci-
pes, as well as nutritious, for her
husband, Edward, and her two chil-
dren, Adam and Amber.
Adam is in third grade, is right-
fielder on the Phillies team in the
Back Mountain Minor League; and
plays on a Back Mountain soccer
team and collects comic books.
Amber attends the Little People
Day Care Center and likes to do
sketches for her mother and dad.
She also is her brother’s best cheer-
leader. )
position, Pat worked part time as a
representative for a food broker and
since she graduated from Penn
State University with a degree in
English, she did substitute teaching
for a while.
Her husband is employed on a
regular schedule at InterMetro
Industries, which proves to be very
helpful since he is usually home
early enough to take Adam to base-
ball and soccer practice. In Pat’s
work, her hours are often irregular.
Pat recently attended seminars in
Kansas City, home office of the
company; White Plains, N.Y.; and
in Philadelphia. She enjoys cooking,
but now usually prepares fast and
easy to prepare foods such as the
recipes she shares with this week’s
Dallas Post readers.
When she has leisure time, Pat
spends it with the family.
Post readers will find Pat’s reci-
pes just as delicious as they are
easy to prepare.
