Making Bread

I have a degree in Home Economics, so I feel I have a certain amount of knowlegde when it comes to cooking . I have found a site that has probably the best homemade bread recipe on it, not only is the bread good but the the recipe is written so well that even the most inexperienced lady could make it. I personally double the amount of sugar and salt , but then I like things with a lot of flavor.http://http://www.hillbillyhousewife.com/beginnersbread.htm

Turkey..its whats for dinner.

I know many women who try to save money on the grocerybill by limiting the amount of meat they use toprepare meals, or buying poor quality meats such ashot dogs, bologna, or hamburger with a high fat ratio.While these things are fine in moderation theyshouldn't be a staple in any ones diet.

I have found that a Turkey purchased whole and frozenis a healthful and inexpensive alternative. I canpurchase a 10-12 lb. turkey at my local Wal Mart forabout $8.00, year round. Around holiday times they canbe found for even less. Turkey is a rather low fatmeat and very easy to cook.

Here is my run down on how one can make a weeks worth of meals from one bird.

Day one: Roast Turkey

A traditional roast turkey meal, I would servepotatoes, stuffing and a vegetable.

Day two: Open Faced Hot Turkey Sandwiches

Toast bread and serve slices of hot turkey with gravyover them.Use left over stuffing as a side.

Day three: Turkey Salad on Toast

Make a chicken salad type mixture, with mayo, onionand celery, serve on bread or bun. Good with chips and pickle

Day four: Turkey Pot Pie Mix turkey with gravy, a blend of frozen vegetables,chopped onion and diced potatoes, bake with a pie orbiscuit crust.Serve with salad.

Day five: Turkey SoupTake whatever turkey is left and whole turkey carcasand place in a stock pot of water and chicken bullioncubes, simmer very slowly add chopped onion, celeryand carrot, add any type of small noodle. Serve withhomemade bread or grilled cheese sandwich.

A week full of turkey, its not just for Thanksgiving!
