I've got 2 versions of this one. There is the original which is not healthy and MY version which is REALLY not healthy. Both are delicious.
The original:
Party Potatoes
1 can cream of potato soup
1 can cream of celery soup
1 cup dairy sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1/4-1/2 cup finely chopped onion
Mix all ingredients above well. Add a 2# bag frozen hashbrowns and mix well. Bake in a greased 9x13 pan or large casserole for 1 1/2 hours at 350 degrees.
my version:
1 can cream of potato soup
1 can cream of celery soup
1 lb.(16 oz.) sour cream
2 cups shredded cheddar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon+ black pepper
1 medium white onion chopped
1 large ham steak chopped roughly -OR- 1 lb. bacon fried crisp and crumbled
Mix all ingredients above well. Add a 2 lb. bag of shredded hashbrowns and mix well. Bake in a greased 9x13 pan or a large casserole for 1 1/2- 2 hours at 350 degrees.

Dianas Salsa
Roma Tomatoes At least 10 cut into desirable size pieces
(Roma because they are meatier
and have more tender skins. If not in season, I
will add a can of Rotel tomatoes)
Fresh Cilantro ~ - cup depending on taste (not the same without it - can use parlsey if you don't like cilantro)
Chopped Black Olives 1 small can
Chopped Green Chiles 1 small can dont drain, use juices
Salsa Verde 1 medium can (Herdez is the best brand, it is a
tomatillo sauce)
Lime Juice 1 whole lime or other lime juice works fine
Onions finely chopped I prefer spring onions or a
mixture of spring and purple
Dash of Olive Oil *holds sauce together better
2T Worcestershire Sauce
Salt and Pepper *to taste! I always use kosher salt
May add chopped Jalapenos if you like it HOT! I sometimes use pickled, canned, chipotle or fresh all work well!
Place all ingredients in a bowl and chop further either with an immersion blender (like those used to mix health drinks and shakes chops much finer and you dont have to chop stuff up so well to begin with AND ITS FAST!!!) or hand chopper.
Serve with Favorite Variety of Chips - also good as sauce over grilled chicken, tuna, or lentil cakes or an accompaniment to any Mexican style dish.

Here's one my mother-in-law passed to me, it's a delicious summer dinner plus I'll add a good drink recipe to go with it!!
HONEY LIME CHICKEN:
1/3 cup flour
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
10 oz. boneless chicken breast, cut into strips or whole
1 tbsp. butter (you can use more if need be)
2 tbsp. lime juice
2 tbsp. honey
1 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
Directions:
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine flour and cayenne pepper. Add chicken, a piece at a time, and shake to coat fully. In a skillet, brown chicken in butter on all sides.
Combine lime juice, honey, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce; stir and pour over chicken. Cook for 2-5 minutes on low medium heat or until juices run clear and sauce is thick.
1 serving: 386 calories
SUMMER DRINK:
1 can of frozen lemonade
2 liters of Sprite
32 ounces of Cranberry/Pomegranate juice
Stir and mix together and serve over ice!! Great with whole blueberries added to the mix.

CALL FOR FALL FAVORITES!!!!

Apple Crisp:
1/2 dozen apples
2/3-3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup oats
3/4 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/3 cup butter softened
preheat oven to 375
grease square pan- 8x8x2
slice apples, place slices in pan. mix remaining ingredients thoroughly. crumble and sprinkle over apples. Bake 30 minutes or until apples are tender and topping is golden brown.

Looks mighty good, Sus! You're makin' my mouth water.....
While we are on the subject of fall sweet things, one of my favorites is a recipe I found online a couple of years ago for:
Downeast Maine Pumpkin Bread!
This recipe is everything the comments say it is! It is moist, spicy and pumpkiny. (Is that a word?) You could glaze it if you wanted to, but it honestly doesn't need it.
I'm going to be baking up this recipe tomorrow evening, to take down to PA with me on Friday. Seamus and I will be with our Regiment at the Warrior Run Heritage Days event, which is a great fall Pennsylvania Dutch festival. |

| Ever heard of Forced Pumpkin? They put a bunch of stuff, like rasins and spices and such, in a pumpkin and sit it on the fire. The pumpkin usually gets burned some, but the insides are good when it is finished. |

No, I haven't, Fitz. Sure sounds good, though.
I have had a Pumpkin Stew that was cooked in a fire, though. I can't recall what all was in it, but I think there was meat of some kind and some veggies. Everything was cooked right inside the pumpkin.
Pumpkin Soup is also very good. |

| Btw, I've decided to try another dish that I can cook over the campfire this weekend. You Southerners will be familiar with Fried Corn. I am going to make mine with some bacon, green peppers, and onions. |

| I was at a living history day this summer and had no food for lunch. So I broke into the heritage garden and picked an ear of corn, then tried roasting it by the fire. It was the dark colored corn, and maybe that had something to do with it, but it didn't turn out too good. I ate it (and didn't get sick) but you need to be really hungry. And then I thought I had better take something in case there were any parasites on the corn. A little something to sterilize things. Next time I think I will try boiling it. |

"Forced Pumpkin" the recipe sounds really good, "Forced Pumpkin" the name -- not so much! BTW, years ago I had a little pamphlet entitled Colonial Cooking (I think I donated it to one of the Gatherings), and included in it was a recipe similar to Forced Pumpkin. The recipe was followed by an authentic colonial comment: "It provoketh wind extremely." Let's hope this is not a problem with every pumpkin recipe.
Sus, your Apple Crisp recipe looks and sounds wonderful. My mother made something similar called Apple Impromptu. That's a good name for it -- something to make on the spur of the moment when you want an apple dessert and just aren't up to baking a pie.
Apple Impromptu
4 cups (about 4 medium) apples, peeled and sliced
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1 Tblsp. butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 slightly beaten egg
2/3 cup sifted flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
Place apple slices in well-greased pan. Combine sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over apples. Cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Cream butter and sugar, add vanilla and egg, beat well. Blend in flour and baking powder. Spread over apples in pan. Bake 20-25 minutes.
Here's a recipe for apple dumplings as my maternal grandmother made them -- boiled, not baked. I think of this as a Pennsylvania Dutch recipe, yet I've spoken to people from Pennsylvania Dutch areas who've never heard of it, so maybe it's really, really local. My grandmother didn't use a recipe or precise measurements, so one of my brothers, who didn't want the knowledge of how to make the apple dumplings to die with her, watched as she made them and estimated as best he could. His recipe does work; we've both tested it.
Boiled Apple Dumplings (makes four)
4 large apples, peeled and cored
4 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1 1/3 cups milk
Mix flour, salt, and baking powder; add milk; knead. Wrap around each apple. Drop apples into boiling water; boil 1/2 hour. When done, the dough will have a pebbly appearance. Put each apple in a bowl and pour milk over it.

WW- how did the fried corn turn out?
Bookworm- I think I'll try your apple impromptu recipe next time I'm in that mood. Sounds delicious.
I just made apple sauce the other day for the first time. Seems to have turned out pretty well.
