j A regvjar breakfast ijienu, but a popular one for Sunday night' too. Here scrambled

Ham, Eggs, Pancakes
- m '
Anytime Favorites
Statesman Woman's Editor
. Some of those old breakfast favorites like ham and eggs,
bacon, pancakes, French toast and others take the place of more
sophisticated foods as the pieces de reistanca for Sunday night
suppers of just for the family on a mid-week
evening.
French have their Crepes Suzette, which
are small pancakes rolled around sweet cen
ters, and the : mid-Europeans, their bilintzes,
small cakes rolled around cheese.
The American has bis souffles and his eve
ning ham and eggs. Pictured on this page are
several ideas for using those breakfast teams
in menus other than the f irt of the day.
You might serve the bacon and eggs on a
good looking platter with toast points and
call it a supper menu -it'll be popular, or
fou might dress up the eggs just a little, like this:
! SCRAMBLED EGGS, IOWA STYLE
8 Slices bacon 1 tablespoon milk '
"1 12-oz. tan vacuum packed teaspoon salt
t kernel corn, well drained teaspoon pepper
4 eggs, beaten Buttered toast triangle!
In skillet, fry bacon and remove it to paper towels to drain.
Drain off all but about 1 tablespoon bacon drippings, and to this
. aid the well-drained corn. Cook, stirring until slightly brown,
then! add the eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Cook over low heat
until eggs are ietr stirring occasionally. Serve on heated platter,
garnished with toast triangles and bacon strips. Makes 4 serv
ings. . .. . - . . ' . . . ,
X French tdast becomes a sandwich, like in the pictureVtohe
ilmon or other filling isused. Here's the salmon recipe: i
f FRENCH-TOASTED SALMON SANDWICH
k 1 can (74-oi.) salmon Mayonnaise or salad dressing
tup finely diced cucumber ,, .8 slices bread , '
Vi teaspoon monosodium 3 eggs

radish Butter or margarine
r Flake salmon; add cucumber, Ac'cent, "Tabasco and horse
radish with enough mayonnaise or salad dressing for spreading
consistency. Spread on 4 slices bread; top with remaining slices.
Beat eggs slightly; add salt, Ac'cent, sugar and milk; blend well.
Dip sandwiches in egg mixture; saute in a little butter or mar
garine until golden brown on both sides, turning once. Or cook
on a table grill, according to manufacturer's directions. Makes 4
sandwiches. '
.Marmalade rollups make an 'attractive dessert from regular pancakes, and good for the
informal supper menu. Regular'pancakes, made with your favorite pancake and waffle mix,
are gieTi ar center of orange marmalade and a garnish of strips of peef and slices of the
fruit. Several make a serving. - . ' !

Vegetable Ideas
For Housewife
Keep some buffet size cans of
onions on hand; add them to
green beans, peas or carrots
when you want to give cooked
vegetables flavor variety.
Small leaves of fresh spinach
are worth using in a salad. For
a delicious dressing mix olive oil,
