Easy Rolls

"Aunt Muggs" or Grace as some people know her made the rolls. It was great to have her with us for another Paula Weekend meal. The rolls were a big favorite of mine. Few ingredients and easy to make. Great with jelly. Another favorite of mine. Muggs brought Amish butter and Amish cherry jelly as seen in the picture. I could have just eaten the rolls for my dinner. Give them a try but double or triple the recipe because your friends will want more than one. Left overs for breakfast. No jelly in the house I just used Michael's strawberry jello salad as my jelly. Try it. Invite me for dinner when you make them. Thanks Paula!

Almond & Lemon Poppy Seed Bars

Michael thought something lemon sounded good. So when we saw the almond poppy seed recipe we decided to do have two desserts. One almond and one lemon poppy seed. All was going well. Both cakes were in the oven and looking good. I left them in the oven 10 minutes longer than the recipe stated. They came out of the oven looking light brown around the edges and firm to the touch. I made icing using my favorite organic vanilla milk, extract, and powered sugar. Yum! I went to bed dreaming of the cake I would be eating tomorrow night at Michael's. Got up and was ready for work so it was time to cut the cakes. Fine till I got to the middle that was raw. No time to walk a mile before work instead damage control. The middle section went back to the oven and did bake. My daughter thought it was a good breakfast. Luckily there was enough of the cakes to take for dinner. Never forget toothpicks at the grocery. Almond and lemon cakes were very good. Thanks Paula!

Fresh Greenbean and Tomato Salad

I was watching Paula's TV show and this was one of the foods she prepared. My daughter and I both thought it sounded good and healthy. Isn't Paula show wonderful. It is like sitting in her kitchen as she cooks dinner just for you. I decided to use Paula's cornucopia salad dressing. We all loved that salad. The dressing is wonderful. My puppy Daisy loved the idea because she likes green beans. One for Daisy and on for the pot. Quick and easy to make. Everyone enjoyed it with our delicious meal. Give it a try. Thanks Paula!

Pomegranate Lemonade Spritzer

ade

Another exceptional drink My daughter and I keep the pomegranate spritzer, from a few weeks ago, in the refrigerator all the time. Now we have added another drink to our refrigerator. Both so healthy with the pomegranate juice. A great way to get in all your daily fruit servings. Lemonade mixes well with the pomegranate. Both will make a refreshing summer drink you will enjoy well into the winter. Thanks Paula!

Talapia Baked in Parchment

If you like fish this ones for you! This recipe was really unique because everything was cooked in the parchment together. It reminded me of my camping trips when we cooked all our food in a tin foil pouch over an open campfire (good memories!), this recipe is very easy, the only thing that took some time was cutting up all the vegetables. The butter sauce was so good with the lemon and garlic it added a wonderful flavor into the Tilapia, a whole meal in itself, and it only took 10-15 minutes! You'll like this one! Thanks Paula. Enjoy!

Zucchini and Squash Tart with Cornmeal Crust

This was FANTASTIC! Wasn't entirely sure how well we were going to like this dish, but it was truly delicious. The cornmeal and dill crust was exceptional and the flavors with the yellow and zucchini squash and the two cheeses (Swiss and Parmesan) where just outstanding. A very delicious side dish that could be used for any occasion, expect compliments. This dish was supposed to be cooked in a 11x8-inch removable bottom tart pan which I didn't have so I used by new Paula Deen pie dish that worked beautifully. You can purchase Paula's stoneware at Wal-Mart. Thanks again Paula. Enjoy!

Aunt Jo's Strawberry Pretzel Salad

This was a really refreshing salad that could be used as either a salad with the main course or a dessert. Very easy to put together, however you must plan to put this together the night before as it needs to sit in the refrigerator overnight to really set well. Don't do what I did and try and make this the day of the event as I almost had to remake the gelatin portion as it was setting up very quickly and I almost didn't get it in the dish with the other ingredients. The pretzel and butter crust on the bottom gave this a salty and sweet taste that was a great combination with the cream cheese and strawberry gelatin. Thanks Paula. Enjoy!
