Lavin's Caramel Rolls

 

Update: Use 1 Tablespoon butter & 1 teaspoon brown sugar and the rolls will come out of pan really easily!

 

Bisquick roll recipe: 2 cups Bisquick mix & 2/3 cup milk.

Marilyn's Spaghetti & Meatballs

Don't let the amount of parsley in the sauce scare you - its one of the things that make the sauce so good.  Fresh parsley is best!

Marilyn told me that she got this recipe early in her marriage. She heard it on the radio when living in Santa Rosa where her husband was in the army.

I like to double the sauce portion and use only half the flour. Yummy!

Marilyn's Potatoe Casserole

The first time I made this, I didn't know a couple of things and it didn't come out as good as hers.  You cook the potatoes for 25 min., with the skins on (easier), then peel and grate after boiling. Any starchy potato works - I usually just use the russet potatoes because you can get a 10 bl. bag so cheap!

The key thing is to bake it for close to an hour (the original recipe says 25 min.).  It'll get some crispy spots around the edges and that is good - some people scoop out that part first!

It should have the texture of a big baked potato. Baking it longer takes away the hash brown texture.

 

6 potatoes 

1 c. shredded cheddar cheese
¼ c. melted butter
1/3 c. chopped green onions
1 tsp. salt
2 c sour cream

Par boil potatoes with skins on for 25 minutes, then let potatoes cool at little.  Peel and grate on cheese grater. 

Mix ingredients together. Bake in casserole dish with lid on at 325 degrees for 1 hour.
