Feeding the Family

Hems Fleeter Trends
! Families considering buying
I a home freezer may be inte
rested in some trends in this
f equipment. One trend .in pur
chasing is toward larger sizes.
!A small family which would
have chosen a 7 or 8 cubic foot
! capacity a few years ago now
' generally chooses a 12 or 14 cub
; ic-footer. More upright freezers
; are being purchased. . One rea
son is that they take up less
floor space than the chest type,
making them more popular in
smaller-type homes feeing built
Also, more manufacturers are of
fering upright types which open
like a refrigerator. An upright
usually costs more than a chest
model because more costly con
struction is required. Life ex
pectancy of freezers now is
longer. A good freezer should
last 12 instead of 10 years as
was estimated a few years ago.
Swiss Chard Casserole
Swiss chard, too often over
looked as a delicious vegetable,
is seasonally at its best. It is
simply packed with vitamins and
minerals; has practically no cal
ories. Actually it is a form of
beet that is grown for the tops
only. Usually cooked, covered,
in almost no water, 10 to 15
minutes or until just tender,
chopped and served with butter
or lemon butter. When cooked
with cheese and milk it becomes
a nutrition special. Six servings.

pineapples, rhubarb. Strawber
ries for consumer fresh buying
continue comparatively scarce
with prices higher than expect
ed due to freezer and "preserv
ing" dmands. There are some ap
ples, grapes, a few honeydews, a
few peaches heralding the new
season.
Vegetable Abundance. Menu
makers may choose from aspara
gus,' lima beans, snap beans,
broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cauli
flower, celery, collards, green
corn, cucumbers, dandelion
greens eggplant, endive chicory,,
escarole, kale, lettuce, mush
rooms, onions, . parsley, green
peans, peppers, new and old po
tatoes, radishes, green onions,
spinach summer squash, Swiss
chard and tomatoes. Corn is com
ing on fast. Yellow variety is
best for freezing. Now is good
time to start pickling cucumbers..
Milk and Milk Products. U.S.
Department of Agriculture re
minds us that dairy products
supply three-fourths of the cal
cium, nearly half of the B-vita-min,
riboflavin and a fourth of
the protein in the nation's diets
as well as other vitamins; and
nutrients. Fait cottage cheese,
cheddar cheese, buttermilk and
ice cream into menus more often
for good nutrition.
Other Good Buys. Look for
beef specials, particularly short
ribs, 7-bone pot roasts, stewing
beef, cuts of round for Swiss
steak and of course good old
hamburger. Buy and freeze lamb
now. Prices on lamb and pork
are due to rise. Ham and bacon
are good buys. Fine selection of
west coast fish and shellfish.
Frying, broiling and stewing
chickens are good buys.
. Good marketing!
