TURNIP AND LENTIL PIE

during the war. It sounds like economy food with a vengeance, but topped with
some sort of sauce (apple or tomato go quite well) it’s really nice !

8oz red lentils 2 egg whites
3/4 pint water12oz grated turnip (about 3 small ones)
4oz wholewheat breadcrumbs

Cook the lentils until tender, and all the water absorbed.
Preheat the oven to Gas 6, 200C, 400F
Mix all the ingredients together and spoon into a shallow casserole dish.
Season as required.
Level the top.
Bake until the top is lightly browned (30-40 mins)

serve with steamed veggies…… Delicious !

Title: PEANUT BUTTER HONEY COOKIES

Yield: 1 servings

1/2 c Shortening
1/2 c Peanut butter
1/2 c Honey
1/2 c Brown sugar
1 Egg
1/2 ts Vanilla
2 1/2 c Flour
1 1/2 ts Baking soda
1/2 ts Salt
3/4 c Raisins (optional),*

* washed and drained

Ice Box Cookies

Ice box cookies are a boon for the busy person
because they can be prepared in advance and stored in
the freezer until needed. Just slice and bake when
desired, and you have a great home made cookie.

If you like, use whole wheat flour and add 1/2 cup
ground peanuts to the dough.

In a large bowl, cream the shortening and peanut
butter, blending well. Add the honey, mixing it in
thoroughly. Gradually blend in sugar. Beat in egg and
vanilla.

Sift together the flour with baking powder, baking
soda and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the
creamed mixture. Stir in the raisins, if using. Shape
in a roll. Wrap in waxed paper and chill thoroughly.

Preheat oven to 350ø. Cut chilled dough into thin
slices and bake on greased cookie sheets at 350ø for
10-12 minutes.

Yield: 4-5 dozen. Jacqueline E. Hamilton, Cooking
