Asparagus au gratin served with 'crisp but- 

 terhom rolls is a delightful hincheon combina- 

 tion. Add a fruit compote and a beverage 

 to complete a meal as sound in nutrition as 

 it is elegant to eat.

 gus salad and deviled eggs. To make these 

 muffins, add Vi c^P crisp chopped cooked 

 bacon to the sifted dry ingredients of a stand- 

 ard muffin recip* and proceed as for stand- 

 ard muffins. 



One elegant sandwich filling sure to please 

 both young and old lunch box carriers is made 

 by blending equal portions of grated Amer- 

 ican cheese and cooked mashed peas. Add 

 a bit of salad dressing to moisten and season 

 with salt, pepper, and 1 or 2 drops of vine- 

 gar. Spread on sliced fresh enriched bread. 



Adding 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning to 

 the dry ingredients of a standard muffin recipe 

 gives them a peppy flavor that is excellent 

 with cooked shrimp in curry-seasoned white 

 sauce. 



Add a dash of nutmeg to a standard waffle 

 batter. Serve 2 quarters of golden checker- 

 board waffle in sandwich-fashion with sliced 

 fresh peaches. A spoonful of smoofh ice 

 cream topping this waffle creation makes it a 

 dessert extravaganza.
