Five ladies met in the Lincoln Library for the October recipe exchange meeting. Several recipe books were displayed, including a Betty Crocker book and one of diabetic recipes. Recipes brought for exchange were read and discussed, and an enjoyable time of sharing stories of cooking (and eating) events were held. The next meeting is planned for Monday, Nov. 13. The event is free for anyone interested in cooking.
Here is an example of some shared recipes.
Energy Oat Bars
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch square pan or oven proof dish. In a large bowl, mix 2 cups quick oats, 1/4 c. vegetable oil, 1/2 c. brown sugar, 1 large egg, 3/4 c. milk, 1/2 c. chopped walnuts, 1/2 c. raisins, 1 tsp. baking powder, 1 tsp. cinnamon and 1/4 tsp. salt. Scrape into prepared pan and bake 30 minutes, or until browned and set. Let cool before cutting. Serves 9. Gluten free.
Then, one to Live By
Sunshine Pie
A pound of Patience you must find
Mixed well with Loving words, so Kind.
Drop in 2 pounds of helpful deeds
And thoughts of other people's needs.
A pack of Smiles to make the crust,
Then stir and bake it well, you must.
And now I ask that you may try
The recipe of Sunshine Pie.
