Macaroni Baked with Tomatoes

Arrange layers of cooked macaroni, stewed and seasoned tomato, and chopped green pepper. Dot each layer with butter. Cover all with buttered cracker crumbs. Bake in hot oven.

Boiled Rice

Wash one cup rice and drain. Fill a four-quart saucepan one half full of boiling salted water. Place on hottest part of range. When boiling rapidly, sprinkle in the rice slowly, not to stop the boiling. Cook until tender, adding more water if needed. Drain in a colander, and place in the open oven to dry.

Rice cooked in this way will have every grain separate.

Summer Squash

Winter Squash

Cut squash, remove seeds, and steam or boil until soft. Remove squash from shell. Add butter, salt and pepper. Reheat and serve.
