GIFT &RECIPE GUIDE

Grandma Wright

used to make this

pie especially forme. We would

always unwrap

the caramels

together. I would

unwrap about 5 to

her 31. Now I like

to use the 9-inch

deep dish frozen

pie shells and add

a few extra pecans

(maybe even a 1/2

cup). Every

Thanksgiving and

Christmas I make

these pies for

family and

friends. I guess I

have become the

Pecan Pie Elf.

1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust

36 individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped

1/4 cup butter

1/4 cup milk

3/4 cup sugar

3 eggs

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

1/4 tsp. salt

1 cup pecan halves

Preheat oven to 350. In a saucepan over low heat,

combine caramels, butter and milk. Cook, stirring

frequently, until smooth. Remove from heat and set

aside.

In a large bowl, combine sugar, eggs, vanilla and

salt. Gradually mix in the melted caramel mixture. Stirin pecans. Pour filling into unbaked pie crust.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or

until pastry is golden brown. Allow to cool until filling

is firm.

Makes one 9-inch pie.

I am undeniably, not much of a cook; however, m

mother never missed a chance to serve a delicious m

pie________________________

Claire McCaskillUS Senator | Kirkwood resident______________________________________

As a young girl in Lebanon, Mo., I watched my

grandmother and my great-aunt turn out amazing pies

in their tiny, tiny kitchen. Not only did they bake for

Thanksgiving and Christmas, but every Sunday after

church I couldnt wait to see what cobbler or pie they

would have cooling on the kitchen window sill. I onlyhope that my family appreciates my pies as much as I

loved theirs. And I hope my children will carry on the

family tradition of pie baking, because its more about

the love than it is the pie.

OK, I love all things lemon. And I love meringu

obviously I love this pie. So does my husband, and

our family. So I thought I would share the recipe.

First, credit goes to the Mustard Restaurant

cookbook. Most of this recipe came from there, wit

few adjustments. It is a great cookbook, by the wa

I kind of cheat and use frozen pie crust! (My

grandmother would not be pleased.) Put a cookie s

in the oven and preheat to 400. I get deep-dish fro

pie crust and let it sit out for 5 to 10 minutes, thenprick the bottom and sides with a fork.

As you put the pie crust in the oven, you should

assemble the filling.

Filling:

6 eggs

1-1/2 cups sugar

Juice of 4 large lemons (about 2/3 to 3/4 of a cup)

1/2 cup whipping cream

1 Tbls. lemon zest

Zest and juice lemons. Whisk eggs with sugar.

in lemon juice and add whipping cream. Then pou

through a fine strainer into a pitcher or large

measuring cup/pitcher. Stir in lemon zest. This wi

very liquid.

By now the pie crust should have baked about

minutes. Open the oven door and pour the filling l

right into the pie shell. Reduce heat to 325 and bafor 35 to 40 minutes, until center is set but not firm

Cool pie and then refrigerate.

When it is near the time you want to serve, ma

the meringue.

Meringue:

6 egg whites

1/4 tsp. cream of tartar

1 cup of firmly packed brown sugar

1/4 cup water

Place the brown sugar with a 1/4 cup water in

small heavy saucepan. Turn it on high. Using a ca

thermometer bring it to about 230. Begin whippin

egg whites and cream of tartar with balloon whisk

attachment. When the candy thermometer reache

245, remove from heat and begin to pour in a thin

stream into egg whites (which should be slightly th

and foamy at this point). As the egg whites begin tsteam, pour faster, and continue to whip until soft

firm peaks form. Then place this mountain of meri

on the pie and brown with torch or in oven under

broiler. Be careful! Dont let it burn. Dont take you

eyes off of it.

Yum.

When my two oldest children were in college, I wou

various favorites, muddie buddies, chocolate chip

cookies, cocoa mix and a loaf of spiced chocolate ch

pumpkin bread. After receiving their package they

would give an obligatory thank you for the other go

in the box, but it was the pumpkin bread that was

most treasured and looked forward to by themselve

roommates and friends. By their third year of colle

I was requested to send two loaves of bread, one fo

them and one for their roommates that college

education was starting to pay off.

GIFT &RECIPE GUIDE

Every year wed travel over the Meramec River and

through the Kirkwoods to hang out at Grandmas house,

a tiny abode filled with porcelain figurines and pristine

furniture. Shed fill us with hard candy, cold Fresca,

and her famous Super Messy Chocolate Crunchy

Christmas Wreaths. Except for the small fire incident,

I dont remember my brother and I ever making a big

mess. I guess she really loved us. Thanks Grandma!

Heres what youll need

1 (11.5 oz.) bag of chocolate chips, semi-sweet, milk

or dark chocolate

1 cup of cornflakes cereal, any brand

A double-boiler pan (or any method of melting thechocolate)

Accoutrements (thats fancy talk for sprinkles, red

hots or whatever floats your boat)

A chimpanzee wearing a funny hat and lederhosen to

lick the pot. OK, thats no longer appropriate. A

small child wearing a funny hat and lederhosen will

work just fine.

Lots of wet wipes

Heres what youll need to do

Melt the chocolate in the double boiler

Once the chocolates melted, pour in the cornflakes,

stir and mash

Scoop out heaping tablespoons and plop on a baking

sheet or wax paper

Use the handle of your spoon to make a hole in the

middle of your chocolate blobs

Add accoutrements

Store in a cold place to harden Lick the double boiler

This method makes about 10 wreaths. Watch out;

they melt in your hands, not in your mouth. Happy

ChristmaHanuKkwanza!

display but it wasnt zucchini. The PR folks boug

cucumbers thinking they were zucchini!

The trick here is the brown sugar. And, while I hav

tried it, grated apples might work.

3 eggs

1 cup vegetable oil

1-1/2 cups sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar1 Tbls. vanilla

2 cups flour

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. baking soda

2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

2 cups grated zucchini

1/2 cup walnuts pieces

Grease two loaf pans (preferably with margarin

and dust the pans with sugar. Turn oven to 350.

Grate zucchini.

Beat eggs well, add oil and continue beating, ad

sugar and beat well. Add vanilla and beat. Add all

ingredients and mix thoroughly, then add zucchini

nuts, mixing well.

Put in two loaf pans. Bake for about 45 to 50minutes.

German Rouladen

with Traditional

Swabian Spaetzle______________________________________

Jim FritzChief of Fire and EMS of the Affton Fire Protection

District______________________________________

Rouladen is a German dish that is traditionally served

with Spaetzle as a Christmas Eve family meal. Spaetzle

are egg noodles that are a staple in German cuisine.

Having grown up in a family where we cherished our

cultural roots, I have attempted to continue many of the

traditional dishes made by my grandmother and

mother, as well as the customs and heritage. I have had

the opportunity to travel to Germany and Austria to

visit and meet with family. While there, I had numerous

opportunities to learn many of the traditional dishes.

Having stayed with family in the small village of

Hozelfingen in the Swabian Alb of Southern Germany,

I was introduced to various Swabian dishes including

Schnitzels, Goulash, Gaisburger Marsch, Dumplings

and the Swabian specialty of Spaetzle.

Rouladen:1-1/2 pounds top round (6 1/4-inch slices, available

from your butcher)

1/2 pound slab bacon

German-style mustard

Whole kosher dill pickle (cut into strips)

1 large onion (1 cup finely chopped and finely sliced

onion slivers for the meat roll)

1 cup carrots

1 cup celery

1 Tbls. butter

1 cup wine (I prefer red; however, you may use

whatever you have open at the time)

1 Tbls. Hungarian paprika

1 Tbls. granulated garlic

Salt to taste

Pepper to taste

2 Tbls. oil

1 Tbls. Vegeta all-purpose seasoning (available locally)

2-1/2 cups beef stock

1 to 2 Tbls. cornstarch or flour

Milk

Season meat filet with salt, pepper, paprika and a

sprinkle of Vegeta. Generously spread one side of each

filet with mustard to taste. Place bacon, onion slivers

and pickle slices on each filet and form into a roll. Use

string or toothpicks to hold the roll together.

Brown the meat rolls in 2 Tbls. oil. Remove meat

and add 1 cup onion, 1 cup carrots, 1 cup celery (I

prefer to finely chop the vegetables in a food processor)

and 1 Tbls. butter to the pan. Saut the mixture for

approximately 5 minutes then deglaze pan with 1 cup

wine. Add 2-1/2 cups beef stock and 1 Tbls. paprika

and return the meat to the pan and bring to a boil.

Turn down heat and simmer mixture for 1-1/2 hours or

until meat is tender, stirring occasionally (may add

additional stock if desired).

When done, remove meat from the pan. Bring broth

to a simmer, add 1 Tbls. Vegeta, and thicken the sauce

with 1 to 2 Tbls. of flour/cornstarch and milk mixture

slurry. Continue to simmer until thickened.

Spaetzle:

3 cups flour

6 large eggs (additional eggs may be needed to ach

proper consistency, I have used as many as 10)

Spaetzle is simply a mixture of flour and eggs

combined to a consistency similar to a sticky batte

I had the opportunity to learn the traditional meth

Germany. Unlike other Spaetzle recipes, tradition

Swabian Spaetzle consists only of flour and eggs.

ease or to save time, you can purchase a bag of dr

prepared Spaetzle; however, I prefer making them

fresh from scratch.

In a large bowl, combine flour and eggs until sm

(dough will be sticky). In a large pot, bring salted

to a boil. Use a Spaetzle press (available online) t

the noodles. Drop small pieces of dough into boilin

water forming the Spaetzle noodles. Cook for 2 mi

or until noodles are tender and float. Remove with

slotted spoon and continue the process until comp

Traditionally, the dish is presented with the

Spaetzle on the side and the entire dish is served

These hot from the oven rolls make every dinner special.

They are remarkably fast and easy. The recipe makes a

couple dozen rolls, always important for a large crowd.

The yeast adds that special flavor that makes them a

family favorite.

2 packages yeast

2 cups water

1/2 cup sugar

2 tsp. salt

6-1/2 to 7 cups flour (add gradually)

1 egg

1/4 cup Mazzola oil

Soften yeast in 2 cups water (hot to touch, but not

boiling) in a bowl. Add sugar and salt. Gradually stir in

half of flour.

Beat by hand for 2 minutes. Add egg and oil. Beat in

remaining flour until smooth.

Cover with a damp cloth. Let rise until doubled in

size then punch it down. Form into rolls with a spoon.

(Rolls are easier to handle if you first put flour on your

hands.) Place on non-stick or greased cookie sheet.

Bake at 400 for 12 to 16 minutes. Makes 24 rolls.

GrandmasSouthern

Corn

Casserole________________________

Scott DavisDirector | City of Webster GrovesParks & Recreation______________________________________

1 (15-1/4 oz.) can whole kernel corn, drained

1 (14-3/4 oz.) can cream corn

1 (8 oz.) package Jiffy corn muffin mix

1 cup sour cream

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted

1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350.

In a large bowl stir together the two cans of corn,

corn muffin mix, sour cream, melted butter and half

the cheese. Pour into a small greased casserole dish. It

should be about 1-1/2 to 2 inches tall. Bake for 45minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and

top with remaining cheddar cheese. Return to oven for

5 more minutes or until cheese is melted. Let stand for

5 minutes and then serve warm.

Makes 10 servings.

This recipe has been used in my family for more than 50

years. It is a staple at Thanksgiving dinner. It is easily

doubled, just use a larger casserole dish.

GIFT &RECIPE GUIDE

Loretto

Vegetable

Dip________________________

Shelley WelschMayor | University City______________________________________

My Aunt Ginny Williams, who

passed away in 1999, was a Sister

of Loretto who taught at Nerinx

High School and Webster College.

For years, our family celebrated on

Christmas Eve at a party thrown

by Aunt Ginny and another Loretto

nun, Sister Mary Lou Denny. This

was the one time of the year that

the Welsch and Denny families got

together. There was always plenty

of good food and drink. One of my

favorite dishes was this Loretto Vegetable Dip (as I call

it).

I have always loved dips, but admit that many of them

tend to sameness especially during the holiday season

when there are dips at every party. This dip alwaysstands out, though. The addition of the B-V Sauce gives

it a different bite, which is a nice change.

I dont know where the recipe came from. But every time

I make it and I usually do so during the holiday

season I think of my Aunt Ginny Williams and the

many good parties she and Mary Lou hosted for our

families.

Taste is a powerful memory booster!

Its not always easy to find the B-V Sauce in the grocery

store but it is well worth the search to make this

unusual, thick and rich recipe. I usually find it near the

bottled gravies.

2 8-oz. packages of cream cheese

1 4-oz. packet of blue cheese

1 small jar of Hellmans mayonnaise

1 jar of B-V sauce

Green onions, chopped, to taste

1 Tbls. of Worcestershire sauce

Mix everything together until it is creamy. Makes a

lot of vegetable dip.

Ginny Williams

minestrone________________________

Debi SalbergWebster Groves City Council________________________

1/4 pound bacon

1/4 pound ham

1/4 pound Italian sausage

(or some combination of the above I use pepperoni

that I have degreased in the microwave instead of

sausage or ham)

2 cloves garlic or 2 tsp. of chopped garlic from a jar

2 onions, chopped

2 or 3 stalks celery, chopped

1 or 2 zucchini, depending on the size

Salt and pepper

Allspice

2 quarts chicken broth or soup stock (I generally use

chicken, but beef or vegetable or some combination

would work as well)

This minestrone looks sort of

complicated, but except for the

cutting up of things, is really quick

and so good. This was my mothers recipe. You cantomit the wine, it really makes the soup.

2 cups shredded cabbage

1 can beans, drained and rinsed (kidney, great

northern, whatever you prefer)

1 cup red wine (moderate to dry red is best, wine you

will drink, not cooking wine)

1/2 cup elbow macaroni

1 (16 oz.) can diced tomatoes

1/4 cup fresh basil or 1 Tbls. dried basil

Parmesan cheese

Fry the meat together in a heavy skillet (unless

using degreased pepperoni, then save it until serving).

Add garlic, onion, celery, zucchini, salt and pepper to

taste and a pinch of allspice. Let cook 10 minutes.

In soup kettle, combine the following: 2 quarts

chicken broth or soup stock, cabbage, beans and red

wine.

Heat until simmering, and then add: contents of

skillet, elbow macaroni and diced tomatoes.

Cook about 10 to 15 minutes until pasta is tender.

About 3 minutes before pasta is done, add fresh basil

or dried basil.

Serve with parmesan cheese (and the wine).

meatballs________________________

Dwight BitikoferPublisher

Webster-Kirkwood Times, Inc.______________________________________

This recipe is my moms much-in-demand potluck

offering. Personally, I recommend grass-fed ground beef

or ground bison.

Meatballs:

3 lbs. ground beef (ground chuck or better grade)

12 oz. or 13 oz. can of evaporated milk

3 cups quick oatmeal (needs to be the quick-cooking

kind)2 eggs (beaten)

1 cup onion chopped

2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

2 tsp. chili powder

Mix well in large mixing bowl. Wash hands and

then roll half-handful of mixture to make 2-inch

meatballs. Place meatballs in 9x13 baking dish. (My

recipe didnt quite fit and I used a small additional

baking dish). Refrigerate while making the sauce and

pre-heat the oven to 350.

Barbecue Sauce:

2 cups catsup

2 Tbls. liquid smoke

1-1/2 cups brown sugar

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

Stir together ingredients for sauce and pour over

meatballs.* Bake one hour at 350.

*I reserved half of the sauce to pour over meatballs

when I transferred them to a crockpot to keep warm

until serving after baking.

3/4 pound ground beef
