Geggi's Cut-Out Cookies
1.5 cups margarine
2 large eggs
1.5 cups sugar
1.5 cups brown sugar
Sour milk mix (1 cup milk + 1 TB vinegar)
7 cups flour (may need more)
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1.5 tsp salt
1.5 tsp nutmeg
2 tsp vanilla
Make mixture then chill 1 hour. Roll to 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle with powdered sugar on top before cutting to keep from sticking. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
These are particularly yummy when cut into upcoming-holiday shapes.
Funeral Potatoes (aka Ward Potatoes, Sour Cream Scalloped Potatoes)
This is as standard "Mormon food" as it gets, but I love them!
1 bag (24 ox) frozen shredded hash browns (or the little cubed size)
2 cans cream of chicken soup (generic brand is usually fine)
2 cups sour cream (low fat is okay, fat free is not)
1 to 1.5 cups grated cheese
Few shakes of minced onions
2 cups corn flakes (or Corn Chex)
2 TB butter, melted
Defrost potatoes and put in big bowl with soup, sour cream, cheese, and minced onion. Gently blend and put in 9x13 pan (preferably glass since it makes the sides crispy - yummy). Combine corn flakes and butter; sprinkle on top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Blue Cheese Dip
1 cup sour cream
4 oz. tangy blue cheese, such as Point Reyes
2 Tbs. chopped fresh chives
1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
Potato chips for serving
Crudités for serving (sliced raw vegetables)
In a bowl, using a handheld electric mixer fitted with the beater attachments, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until soft and creamy, about 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to low, add the sour cream and beat until combined, about 1 minute. Add the blue cheese and beat until the cheese is crumbled and no large lumps remain, about 1 minute. Stir in the chives and pepper. Transfer the dip to a small serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 week. Serve with potato chips and crudités. Makes about 2 cups.
