Clarabelle's Egg Scramble

1. Prepare Cheese Sauce. Blend butter and flour; stir in remaining ingredients; cook and stir until thickened over medium heat:
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cup raw milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons worcesterchire sauce

2. Stir in cheese to melt:
1 cup firmly packed grated raw milk cheddar cheese

3. Prepare Toasted Bread Crumb Mixture. Mix together:
1 cup toasted whole grain bread crumbs (I used Tricia Ann's oat bread.)
1 1/2 teaspoon melted butter

4. Butter bottom and sides of 13 x 9 casserole dish.

5. Prepare Scrambled Eggs. Combine eggs and onion; scramble in butter until lightly done:
12 large farm-fresh eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup chopped green onion
2 oz. can diced green chiles ( I'd like to try fresh ones from the garden this summer.)
3 tablespoons melted butter

6. Cover bottom of casserole dish with Scrambled Egg mixture. Spread Cheese Sauce over the top; top with Toasted Bread Crumb Mixture.

7. Garnish with paprika and minced parsley.

8. Refrigerate until ready to bake. Bake and 325 for about 45 minutes.

This is the casserole that I served the Bradshaw's for breakfast the day they picked up Clarabelle, their new milk cow. I adapted it from Sue Gregg's Breakfasts cookbook p. 228. It's a good "company" breakfast recipe because it can be made a day or two in advance and kept in the refrigerator until time to bake.

Turnip Greens

Ingredients:

1. a big bunch of fresh turnip greens (rinsed well)
2. a bit of water
3. Mrs. Dash
4. Black Pepper
5. 1 cayenne pepper
6. a couple of cubes of beef boulion (more or less to taste)

Preparation:

Cook the above ingredients in the pressure cooker for about 10 minutes. After the ten minutes are up, remove the lid and let the greens simmer while you finish up the rest of the meal.

Tip:

You really do need a big bunch of greens, even if there are only a few people planning to eat them. Turnip greens (and other greens - mustard, collard, etc.) cook down a whole lot, so we usually pick enough to fill an ordinary grocery bag. It should fill up the pressure cooker at first, but once they're done cooking, you'll just have a nice bowl full.

Hot Chocolate Mix

• 8 quarts of dried milk (10 ⅔ cups, or 25 ounces)
  
• 6 ounces powdered creamer (approximately 1½ cups)
• 2 pounds of instant chocolate milk
• 1 pound of powdered sugar (approximately 4 cups)
• Approximately 4 ounces of cocoa for extra chocolate flavor

Mix all ingredients together. Makes about a gallon of dry mix.

Put ⅓ cup (or a little more...) of dry mix into a mug, add hot water (and cream, and coffee, etc.). You can also use flavored creamer, though we usually don't.
