Summer Salad

I have been loving this salad dearly this summer. I could eat it every day.

2-3 c. chopped tomatoes
1-2 c. chopped cucumbers
1/4 to 1/3 c. feta cheese (crumbly)
1/4 c. balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp. olive oil
Optional: chopped onions, green onions, or bell peppers
salt and pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients; it's best to add the cheese last, after everything is stirred. Chill and serve.

Pancake Mix

Wheat Mix "Make A Mix Cookery" 1978

6 cups whole wheat flour
3 cups all purpose flour
1-1/2 cups instant nonfat dry milk (I use buttermilk powder)
1 tbs. salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup wheat germ (I usually don't have this and leave it out)
1/4 cup baking powder
2 cups vegetable shortening

In a large bowl all the dry ingredients and mix well. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender till evenly distributed (Fine textured). Store in a large airtight container. Use within 10-12 weeks.
Yield 14 cups mix.


Pancakes
1 egg slightly beaten
1-1/2 cups water
2-1/4 cups wheat mix

Beat egg into water, then add to wheat mix. Cook on hot oiled griddle. Yeilds 15 4" pancakes.


My Tofu Pancakes
1/2 of an 8 oz. (?) package silken tofu
2-1/2 cups water
2 eggs
3 cups wheat mix

In a 1 quart glass measuring cup measure the water, add 2 eggs and the tofu. Mix with electric hand blender, or measure and mix in a regular blender. Bend until there are no lumps of tofu. Pour into wheat mix, and stir until moistened, but batter is a little lumpy. Cook on hot buttered griddle. Yields enough for our family of 8!

(I'm guessing a little on the water measurement--when you add the eggs and tofu, the water line should be up at 3 cups or 3-1/4 cups. The batter is medium consistency not thick. If you get it too thin, just add a little more mix.)

Jazzed Up Ramen Chicken Soup

Prepare 2 packages as directed on wrapper.

Add to the boiling water:

2 eggs--just crack them over the pot

1 small can of chicken including the broth/ or chicken left overs

1 green onion chopped.

Give the egg a few minutes to cook, and then cut through it with a sharp knife to make small pieces.
For a chinese soup, and soy sauce to taste.

This is kind of cheating cooking, but ramen is cheap, and fast, and jazzed up it tastes pretty good! Mom's Chinese noodles were similar but made with spaghetti noodles and real chicken and broth. This is 10 times faster!!
