Juices great for summertime thirsts Spaghetti stretches budgets Hamburger has been a good buy recently This recipe of fers a delicious way to stretch the family meat budget •‘From Scratch” Spaghetti Sauce 2 pounds hamburger 2 medium onions, chopped 1 large green pepper, chopped I button of garlic, chopped fine 4 teaspoon flaked oregano Pa teaspoons salt, pepper to taste cup red wine vinegar with garlic 1 tablespoon sugar 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste with 2 cans water 2 cans tomato sauce Brown hamburger and drain grease off. Add vegetables until sauteed, then add liquids and seasonings Allow to sim mer from 30 minutes to two hours, stirring occasionally Serve over a package of spaghetti cooked according to directions (I prefer to break it before putting it in the water, unless you are of the roll-it-around-the-fork persuasion.) Serve the hot spaghetti from a bowl, then pass bowl of hot sauce and can of parmesan cheese This is good served with cabbage slaw or a green salad, and a green vegetable Serves H 10—From the files of Mrs. Una Sewell, Gadsden, Ala. Broccoli Casserole 2 packages frozen broccoli spears 1 can cream of chicken soup 1 medium onion, chopped fine 1 cup mayonnaise 1 cup grated cheddar cheese 2 eggs, slightly beaten Salt and pepper to taste Check cookware before changing for microwaves Before you buy new co o k w a re for your microwave, check what you have on hand Many cookw are item s already in the cuplxtard will w ork ju s t fine in a microwave oven Materials made of metal aren’t usable because microwaves can’t penetrate metal However, most of the glassware you currently own can be used safely and effectively. Glass and ceramic glass cookware can be used as c o n ta in e rs, triv e ts and covers for all microwave functions, acco rd in g to Janice Weber, Oregon State University Extension family re s o u rc e m anagem ent specialist Glass is a good choice because it cleans easily It also won’t chip or break during use because it w ith sta n d s the high tem peratures required to cook many foods, “ Wixxl in the form of cookw are or picks and skewers may be used for short term heating or cook ing,” Weber noted Wixxl shouldn't be used for thaw ing or long term cooking because the heat dries out and overheats the wood Fires may result P a p e r is a v a lu a b le microwave material in a number of ways It can be used to cover or as a container for foods, or as absorbent material for greases Don't use recycled paper products because they may contain metal particles which could heat and ignite the paper Paper towels which con tain nylon or other synthetic fibers could have the same problem Paper plates work well if the food being cooked on them does not produce a great deal of fat or liquid Excessive liquids can spill into the oven m aking cleanup necessary. Plastic cookware can be used as containers, racks and trivets, but special care should be taken Not all plastics have the same com position and some may lx* m ore a p p r o p r ia te for microwave cooking than others For example, some of the p o ly c a rb o n a te or p o ly p ro p y le n e p la s tic s become misshapen when subjected to hot fat or grease from meats or casseroles T h e ir use should be restricted to foods with low fat and sugar content In contrast, polysulfone p la s tic is c a p a b le of withstanding high cooking temperatures and is also resistant to food stains If you’re unsure of the type of plastic in some of your containers, experiment with them in your oven for a short period of time using low fat low-sugar meats Plastic wrap and wax paper are excellent for use as adjustable covers for con tainers that don’t have lids or for covering items that have uneven shapes They shouldn't be used for items that reach extremely high cooking temperatures. Think creatively about the many possible uses of sup plies and uten sils you already have You may not need any new cookware ac c e s s o rie s for your microwave Cracker crumbs Cook broccoli in boiling water until just thawed Mix all other ingredients, except cracker crumbs Place slightly- cooked broccoli in a large buttered casserole and cover with other mixed ingredients Top with cracker crumbs and bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes Serves 8-10 - From the files of Mrs. Honda Dahlenberg, Camp Hill, Ala If you have rhubarb stored in the freezer, here is a great way to use it.
