Salad dressing.





You can make just enough for use so there is nothing to store.

Home made cheese or the cheese of your choice.
Vinegar 1 part
Salad oil 2 to 3 parts
Teaspoon of mustard
Salt
Pepper
Garlic powder

Mix well

Add to salad greens.

Almost time to make more



Egg lasagna

Another easy dish that came out when red meat was sparse. Scramble eggs and boil noodles then you are almost done. Traditionally hard boiled eggs were used instead of scrambled eggs, but we prefer scrambled. If you really wanted to, you could use any cooked noodle,  If using standard pasta noodles,  just make sure you have enough to spread to make a layer of pasta.
Ingredients:
3 or so - cups standard white gravy.
8 - freshly scrambled eggs.
7 - 8 sheets cooked lasagna noodles.
2 or so cups of your favorite cheese,
Optional: finely chopped mushrooms, in the gravy.
              peas, spinach, or other green vegetable added to the cheese.

Method:
Preheat oven 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In casserole dish:
Lay down dome gravy to cover.
Add lasagna noodles to cover.
Add scrambled eggs (does not have to cover).
Add cheese (does not have to cover).
Repeat process for several layers.
Last layer is just noodle, gravy and cheese.

Put casserole dish in oven for about 25-30 minutes till top is brown or solidified.
Remove and let cool for a bit.
Serve. (This is even better when you make it the day before and then reheat it for a meal.


Note: eggless Noodles are so easy to make from scratch I just usually make them myself.
