Baked Potato Soup Chicken Fried Steak Spinach Fruit Salad Pumpkin Pie We hope you enjoy this menu that serves 6 to 8. _______________________________________ Appetizer _______________________________________ Baked Potato Soup 4 - 5 baking potatoes 2 cups water 1 quart milk 1/2 cup celery 1/4 cup butter 1/2 cup sour cream 1/3 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled 1/3 cup green onion, chopped 2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded 1 Tbsp. fresh parsley or dill, chopped Salt and pepper to taste Place potatoes in the oven and cook for about 1 hour at 350 degrees. Meanwhile heat water in a large saucepan and add chopped celery to the water and simmer until celery is tender. When potatoes are fully cooked, slice down the center and scoop the pulp out of each potato and add to celery and water. Add milk. butter, sour cream, bacon, green onions, 1 cup of the cheddar cheese, parsley or dill and salt and pepper. Allow mixture to simmer over low-medium heat until it thickens. Serve hot with cheddar cheese sprinkled on top. You may also add chives (from the top of the green onions), bacon pieces and sour cream. The Skinny: Use low fat milk, sour cream and cheese. _______________________________________ Main Course _______________________________________ Chicken Fried Steak 3 pounds round steak, tenderized 1 cup flour 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. garlic powder 2 tsp. Old Bay seasoning or paprika if you can't find Old Bay Fresh ground pepper 2 eggs, beaten 1/2 cup milk Vegetable oil Gravy 1 Tbsp. butter 6 Tbsp. Flour 3 cups hot milk Salt and pepper Cut steak into 6 pieces. Combine flour, salt garlic powder, Old Bay or paprika and pepper on a plate. Combine eggs and milk in a bowl. Dip steak in egg/milk mixture then coat with flour mixture. Cook steaks in hot oil in a heavy skillet. Remove steaks and keep warm. Add butter to pan and mix with drippings. Add four and cook and stir until flour browns. Add hot milk and stir until thickened. Season with salt and pepper and pour over warm steaks. Serve with hot rice. The Skinny: Use your favorite egg substitute and low fat milk. Spinach Fruit Salad 1 pound spinach, torn into bite sized pieces 1 head green leaf lettuce, torn into bite-sized pieces 1 cup seedless grapes 1 11-oz. can mandarin oranges, reserve liquid 1/4 cup sliced almonds 4 green onions, chopped Dressing: 1/3 cup vegetable oil Mandarin orange juice 1/4 cup sugar 1 tsp. dry mustard 1/3 cup red wine vinegar Salt and pepper to taste Combine salad ingredients in a large bowl and dressing ingredients in a cruet. Pour desired amount of dressing over salad immediately before serving. The Skinny: Not much room for improvement here. _______________________________________ Dessert _______________________________________ Pumpkin Pie 1 16-oz. canned pumpkin 3/4 cup sugar 1 tsp. ground cinnamon 1 tsp. ground ginger 1 tsp. ground nutmeg 1/2 tsp. salt 3 eggs 2/3 cup evaporated milk 1/2 cup milk Prepared Pie crust For those of you that may not know, canned pumpkin is pumpkin puree, usually with some extra flavorings added. Combine pumpkin, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt in a bowl. Add eggs and beat eggs into pumpkin mixture with a fork. Add evaporated milk and milk and mix well. Place in pie crust (cover the edge of the crust with aluminum foil to prevent burning) and bake for 25 minutes in 375-degree oven. Remove foil from crust and bake for another 30 minutes or until a knife comes out clean when inserted into the pie. The Skinny: Use your favorite egg and sugar substitute and low fat evaporated and regular milk. Some people serve their pumpkin pie with a dollop of whipped cream...isn't that decadent? You can use fat free whipped topping instead and sleep peacefully. _______________________________________ Grocery List _______________________________________ 4 - 5 baking potatoes 2 quarts milk 1/2 cup celery 1/4 cup butter 1/2 cup sour cream 1/3 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled 1/3 cup green onion, chopped 2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded 1 Tbsp. fresh parsley or dill, chopped 3 pounds round steak, tenderized 1 cup and 6 Tbsp. flour 1 tsp. garlic powder 2 tsp.
