Mrs. James Davis of Dallas, the
former Margaret Fowler, enjoys
preparing casseroles or likes to
experiment with new recipes. She
also enjoys creating various foods
by changing ingredients in some of
the traditional recipes she sees but
because her family prefer the more
basic meals of an entree, vegetable,
salad and potatoes, Margaret
doesn’t always find the opportunity
to prepare her favorites.
A native of Dallas and graduate of
Dallas Senior High School, she and
her husband, James, have three
children, Jimmy, Debbie and Scott
and also a granddaugther, Karen.
Scott will graduate from Dallas
High School this week so Margaret
is busy at present preparing for this
event. Scott plans to enter Blooms-
burg University in the Fall where
he will pursue a degree in account-
ing. In addition, she will soon be
busy preparing for her daughter’s
wedding since Debbie recently
announced her engagement.
Like most homemakers today,
Margaret likes to look for easy-to-
prepare nutritious foods for her
family. The recipes she shares with
Dallas Post readers this week are
not only easy-to-prepare and tasty
but economical as well.
They are also favorites of her
husband and children. The Texas
Hash takes very little time to get
ready and makes a quick and easy
entree for family and friends.
Served with a salad, vegetable and
warm, crusty Italian bread, it
makes a tasty meal for warm or
cold weather. The Tuna Noodle Cas-
serole when prepared in the micro-
wave is ready before you know it
and makes an excellent lunch meal
or served with favorite vegetables,
salad and fruit, an ideal evening
meal. For those without a micro-
wave, this recipe can be preapred
and done in the regular oven. Just
let it bake longer. The Chocolate
Drops are easy and economical to
make and are a favorite of the
entire family as is the Banana
Bread. The latter is delicious for
breakfast, lunch or as an after-
school snack.
Margaret is kept busy around her
home but in her leisure time, she
enjoys reading or baby-sitting. She
usually has her granddaughter or
her young niece visiting her. She is
especially fond of having the chil-
dren with her.
Readers will enjoy trying any of
the following recipes. Although easy
to prepare, they are exceptionally
delicious.
