Oven Beef Stroganoff

This is not the typical recipe that we fix. This one can be done in the oven instead of the stovetop. It is an easier to make version.

Small Jelly Role

This looks yummy, but never tried because I didn’t want to try to roll cake.

Strawberry Pretzel

This recipe came from my grandmother, who got the recipe from Faye Cox. I don’t know who Faye Cox is, but this is a Jello dessert with several layers. It is probably actually called Strawberry Pretzel Salad. When I first read the title (when transferring recipes here) I thought it was a soft pretzel with strawberry flavor.

This soup has chicken broth, orzo, asparagus, peas, scallions, dill, lemon juice, and celery can be added.

But this is a traditional Christmas dessert in my family. It requires a DOZEN eggs. When it bakes, it ends up with a nice crunchy coating. It is covered with whipped cream.
