Orange Apple Drink Or Puree For Breakfast

This is a blended mix that I enjoy and have found helps keep me from taking the students' colds.

Peel the orange colored skin from a medium sized orange, leave all the white on. Cut up in pieces and place in a blender.

Add 1 chopped apple including skin and seeds. If you do not know whether the apple was sprayed, you had better peel it. Add ½ c. grated pineapple and ½ c. powdered milk, or powdered whey. Blend until completely mixed and if too stiff to drink, spoon it out of your glass as you would sherbet; sprinkle ground nuts over the top.

Many other foods may be used, such as any of the following: yoghurt, ground seeds or nuts, unsulphured molasses, brewer's yeast, small amount of wheat germ (as it has such a raw taste), few dates, raisins or other dried fruit.

Casserole Recipes

Casserole recipes are great, because casseroles are easy to prepare and cook especially for someone who has little cooking experience.

Imagine:

Just before dinner, you whisk it out of the oven,bring it to the table,bubbling hot and golden brown on top, and serve it forth while the guests look on admiringly. That's one of the joys of casserole cooking.

Another is the infinite number of ways in which you can use left over meats; also the intriguing variety of fresh vegetables you can introduce.

Add to a casserole a big wooden bowl of tossed green salad and your meal is complete. You've done the work that morning, or even the preceding day.
You can have a glorious time inventing your own versions of the tried and proven recipes here.

Casseroles made with a basic cream sauce should not be kept overnight.

Since you will want to bring your casserole straight from the oven to the table, it should be an attractive dish of earthenware or glass. When you do top burner cooking in your casserole, it is a good idea to place an asbestos mat underneath. A covered casserole dish must have a tight-fitting lid to prevent the loss of the steam which is cooking the food inside.

So here are some casserole recipes to save your disposition, cut down on dishwashing and allow your imagination free rein.
