Season's best dishes for 2 or 4 or 6

for 2 or 4 or 6 By Mary Lee Taylor
Dear Friend ,
The cookies you make, the candies, the special dishes—even the very smell of them baking or cooking—are things your family will remember long after the holidays.
It takes time, of course, to make these good things—but with the recipes in this booklet, it will take much less time. For instance, those delicious Butterscotch Balls and Coconut Kisses are so simple to make there need never be an empty candy jar. If there’s a “junior” cook at your house, let her try them—she’ll be so proud of her success.
You will be famous for your cookies when you serve fruity Pineapple Date Bars, or rich, tender Holiday Crescents—which are merely shaped into half-moons, not rolled. Mincemeat Cup Cakes are almost little fruit cakes—and Easy Fruit Coffee Cake is so quickly made with yeast and biscuit-mix you could have it for a festive Christmas breakfast.
When friends drop in, entertaining’s easy with Bacon Rarebit—or with Cheese Chips in the icebox, all ready to slice and bake at a moment’s notice. I haven’t forgotten your Christmas dinner—there’s a Potato Stuffing for the holiday bird, a baking chart to make it a complete success, a delicious vegetable and a new salad dressing.
Perhaps you’re thinking all these good things take extra amounts of expensive butter and cream. Quite the opposite! Pet Milk actually saves on butter because it’s whole milk concentrated to double richness. In fact, you can use it in place of cream for whipped toppings, desserts and for coffee—at less than half the cost of cream. Even when mixed with an equal amount of water, Pet Milk is rich, wholesome milk that costs less generally than ordinary milk.
I know these recipes will help you serve the best of Christmas treats—and I send them with my wishes for the happiest of holidays.
Sincerely,
