An early Girl Scout Cookie recipe

In the 1920s and 1930s cookies were packaged in wax paper bags, sealed with a sticker, and sold door to door for 25 to 35 cents per dozen, according to girlscoutcookies.org.

1 cup butter

1 cup sugar plus additional amount for topping (optional)

2 eggs

2 tablespoons milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons baking powder

Cream butter and the cup of sugar; add well-beaten eggs, then milk, vanilla, flour, salt, and baking powder. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Roll dough, cut into trefoil shapes, and sprinkle sugar on top, if desired. Bake in a quick oven (375°) for approximately 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges begin to brown. Makes six- to seven-dozen cookies.

Dad's Potato Salad

This is the potato salad I grew up on. My dad always made it and I always loved it! It is really good and really easy. The ingredients dont have amounts, just add what you think. It is really foolproof.

Ingredients:

Potatoes (I used red because then you don't have to peel them)

Boiled eggs

Chopped pickles

Mayonaise/Miracle Whip (or both)

Mustard

Lemon Juice

Pickle Juice

Celery Salt

Celery Seed

Garlic Salt

Onion Salt (I put onion flakes)

Sugar to taste

Ground Sage (just about a 1/2 tsp)

Just boil the eggs and chopped potatoes.  Chop the eggs and pickles up and add them to the drained potatoes.  Add the sauce and stir. 

Grilled Chicken Enchiladas

Okay, so for the past 10 years I have made my same chicken enchilada recipe.  I used to bribe my dad with it (until he finally go sick of them), but now I have a new recipe to bribe him with. These are some enchiladas that we made last night.  They were so good!  We just wanted to try something new so we made up this recipe.  We had mexican rice with it which the kids LOVED!

Ingredients:

Chicken breasts or thighs

Mrs. Dash Southwest Seasoning

Sour Cream

Tortillas

Enchilada Sauce

Cheese

Directions:

Grill the chicken with the Southwest Seasoning on it.  When chicken is done, transfer it to a food processor to chop (or just shred it).  Add sour cream (the amount depends on what you like).  Roll in the tortillas and cover with the enchilada sauce and cheese.  Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted.
