These are very easy and incredibly convenient. Instead of grabbing the pricey ones out of the dairy case or the ones out of the freezer case…try keeping these on hand. It calls for Crisco but you can use butter instead.

Chicken with Sherry
September 18, 2007 by Tarrant Figlio
It is super chilly this morning…say 66 degrees. Sure, it will be in the 80s but currently it is chilly. I don’t like it. I wanted some temperature between too hot to breathe and chilly. Of course, chill in the air means new foods on the menu. This is easy and yummy and a bit err heavy…but really, you deserve it with the chill. Use thighs or drumsticks to save money and keep in mind the time for baking is based on bone in chicken breasts.
Chicken with Sherry
Salt and paprika chicken breasts and then dredge with flour. Brown both sides of breasts lightly in pan with stick of oleo or some corn oil. Arrange chicken in pan and pour the following mixture over it:
1 can mushroom soup, can of mushroom (pieces), carton of sour cream, and cup of cocktail sherry-plus the drippings from the frying pan mixed with a little water. Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 1 to 1 hour and 15 minutes, depending on size of chicken breasts.

Italian Cream Cheese Dip
September 17, 2007 by Tarrant Figlio
If you are a person who likes cream cheese dip on your fruit, this is the one for you. Even better–this is good on a hearty brown bread. This would be just the thing to perk up your fruit platter or coffeecake at your next breakfast party at work.I adore the 6 servings -45 cents part of the recipe. Sorry, I have no idea what year. Still, thriftier than buying the pre-made and chemical-laden cream cheese fruit dips in your produce section.
Italian Cream Cheese
1 cup creamed cottage cheese
4 tbs. sour cream
1 tbs. sugar
1 tbs. rum
cinnamonBlend ingredients, except cinnamon, til smooth. Mound in center of a plate. Sprinkle generously with cinnamon. Delicious on fruit, stewed or fresh, nut bread, or coffee cake.
