As a Tennessee native, a co-worker and now dear friend, Pam, gave me
this recipe over 25 years ago. I make it through the fall and winter
often for our family. Questions? csra-@cox.net Carolyn in Virginia
Pam's Oven Stew
4 pounds stew meat (extra lean)
4 cups sliced carrots
2 cups sliced celery
4 medium onions, sliced
2 cans (5 ounces each) sliced water chestnuts, drained
2 cans (6 ounces each) sliced mushrooms, drained
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons salt (about half)
2 cans (16 ounces each) tomatoes
2 cups burgundy
Or 2 cups beef broth or bouillon
Preheat oven to 325F degrees. In roasting pan mix meat, carrots, celery,
onions, water chestnuts, and mushrooms.
In bowl mix flour, sugar, and salt. Stir this into the meat mixture.
Stir in tomatoes, and burgundy. Cover and bake 4 hours.

Chicken Squares
3 T melted butter, divided
3 oz cream cheese, softened
2 c cubed cooked chicken
1/4 tsp salt (I leave it out)
1/8 tsp pepper
2 T milk
1 T minced onion
8 oz can crescent rolls
10 oz can cream of chicken soup
1/2 c milk
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In mixing bowl, blend 2 T butter with
softened cheese. Add chicken, S&P, 2 T milk and onion. Mix well.
On large baking sheet, separate crescent dough into 4 squares, pressing
perforations to seal. Spoon 1/4 of chicken mixture onto center of each
square. Pull corners of dough up over chicken mixture. Seal all edges.
Brush tops with remaining butter. Bake 20-25 minutes, until browned.
In small saucepan, combine soup and 1/2 c milk. Cook over med-low heat,
stirring occasionally, just until soup begins to simmer. Spoon soup
over baked chicken squares.
Yum - Oh! (I found this tasty little recipe on a can of crescent rolls
years ago) granni-@yahoo.com

CAN IT BE ?
It's that time of year again when we swallow our pride and ask you for
monetary support so that we can continue publishing our ezines. Last
year we sent you over 600 savory recipes.
Some of you contribute during the year (and we thank you!), but most of
the donations we receive are in response to our yearly fund raiser. If
you can not afford to send anything, that's fine; we've been {are} there
too. We will not unsubscribe you. If you are one of those who think
everything on the Internet should be free and you just will not send us
any money, that's fine. We will not unsubscribe you either. But if you
can find it in your heart and wallet to send us $5 or $10 or $20 (or
even more as some of you have so graciously done in the past) we would
be very grateful.
Recipe du Jour and RDJ Petite, as well as Dessert du Jour, are made
possible only by donations from subscribers like you. If you enjoy
receiving RDJ, please support us by sending a check for any amount
payable to "Recipe du Jour" to: PO Box 195, Henrico NC, 27842. OR use
PAYPAL ( http://www.paypal.com ) and donate (via your account or their
secure credit card site) directly thru Rich's email address (
ri-@recipedujour.com ). Thank you.

I usually take this to get-togethers as a low carb option and everyone
always asks for the recipe, so I thought I would share it. Sue

CAULIFLOWER SALAD
1 head cauliflower broken into small florets
3 large purple shallots (sweeter than regular onions)
OR
1/2 small purple onion, diced (or more if you like)
2 stalks celery, diced
Maries Creamy Italian Garlic Dressing - DO NOT SUBSTITUTE!
(In the produce section - cooler - how much you use depends on how
creamy you want it.)
Salt and white pepper to taste
Sprinkle top with paprika
Just mix all together and chill for at least two hours. Keeps for
several days.
There are no exact measurements. It depends on the size of the
cauliflower and the individual's preference as to how much onion or
shallots and celery to add.

This recipe came from Woman's World many years ago. This Northern
Ireland bread, also known as potato farls or potato cakes, comes in many
versions. Any questions, email lilbudd-@yahoo.com
Potato bread
Use leftover mashed potatoes or frozen or instant made with the butter
and salt.
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1-1/2 cups mashed potatoes, chilled
4 scallions, sliced
Preheat oven to 425F. Lightly grease baking sheet; set aside. In large
bowl combine flour, baking power, salt and pepper. With pastry blender
or 2 knives cut in butter until coarse crumbs. Stir in mashed potatoes
and scallions to make a soft dough. On lightly floured surface, knead
dough 3-4 minutes. With rolling pin, on lightly floured surface, roll
dough 1/4" thick. With 3-1/2 round cookie cutter or glass cut rounds.
With medal spatula transfer to prepared baking sheet. Bake 25 minutes
until golden brown. Cool on wire rack 5 minutes. Serve warm
