Kaylin,

I want to make inexpensive food-type gifts for the holidays to give to family and friends. I
am embarrassed, but my family is using food stamps right now, and we don't really have any
cash to do anything else. Do you have any suggestions?

Amber

Note from Kaylin- There are lots of free samples of mix recipes that will work for gift giving that are available on the RF4RP website, and the recipe collections that give you more recipes and ideas for packaging the recipes, templates for gift cards, etc. are very inexpensive (average 5.00). These are offered in electronic format to keep the price down, and makes delivery fast and easy through email. I hope this is helpful to you!

Does anyone have the recipe for Marie Calendar's Chicken Pot Pie? I adore it, but hate to
pay for it. Thank you for your recipes.

Shelley

My aunt gave me her bread maker and I have never used one before. Help! It doesn't have any
book with it, and I don't know how to use it. It is made by Westbend.

Heather

Note from Kaylin- Some sample recipes for breadmakers are offered on the RF4RP website and
there are two recipe collections offered just for breadmakers. One even tells you how to use
your favorite standard recipes for a breadmaker, or how to use breadmaker recipes the old
fashioned way. Visit     http://www.realfood4realpeople.com/bread.html         and
http://www.realfood4realpeople.com/2bread.html              Enjoy!

Hi,

This is for Angela. I pulled this recipe from the internet a long time ago.

Funeral Potatoes

6-8 medium pre-cooked potatoes (or a 2-lb pkg of frozen hash browns)
1/4 cup diced onion
1 can (10 ¾ oz.) cream of chicken soup (or cream of celery)
1/2 soup can milk
1 cup sour cream
salt and pepper to taste
3/4 cup crumbs* (Corn Flakes, bread crumbs, French's Fried onions or potato chips)
3** tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated

Heat oven to 350 deg. Thaw frozen potatoes or cook fresh potatoes and cut into cubes (skin on
or peeled to taste). Place potatoes in a greased 2-3 quart casserole dish or a 9x13 cake pan.
Sauté onion in 1Tbs of the butter and spread over potatoes. Combine soup, milk, sour cream
and salt and pepper to taste. For a creamier dish, add 2-3 tablespoons additional milk. Mix
well. Spread sauce over potato/onion mixture. Melt butter and combine with crumbs. Sprinkle
crumbs over mixture. Sprinkle cheese over mixture. Bake uncovered at 325 deg F for 40 minutes
or until hot and bubbly throughout. If using the French's fried onions, there is no need to
sauté them in butter, so you need only 1T of butter for the onions.

Funeral Potatoes

"Also called "Ward Party Potatoes," "Christmas Potatoes," "Potato Casserole" I'm sure many
other names - but the most famous is Funeral Potatoes because it is often served at funerals
and Church parties in Utah. "

6 cups diced potatoes*
1 can (10 ¾ oz.) condensed cream chicken soup
1/2 soup can milk
1 cup sour cream
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1/4 cup grated onion (optional) **
salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons butter, melted
3/4 cup corn flake crumbs

Cook fresh potatoes or thaw frozen potatoes (see *note below). Place potatoes in a 2-3 quart
casserole dish or a 9x13 cake pan. Combine soup, milk, sour cream, cheese, and onion (see
**note below) and salt and pepper to taste. If a saucier dish is desired, add 2-3 tablespoons
additional milk. Mix well. Spread sauce over potatoes. Melt butter and combine with corn
flake crumbs. Sprinkle crumbs over casserole. Bake uncovered at 350 F for 30-45 minutes or
until hot and bubbly throughout.

Notes:
* Use approximately 6-8 peeled, diced, and cooked fresh potatoes; or approximately 2 pounds
frozen, southern style, diced hash browns (not shredded). ** Use 1 tablespoon dried onion or
sauté 1/4 cup fresh chopped onion in 1 tablespoon butter until transparent.

There are probably as many variations in how to make this dish, as there are names for it.
Whatever you call it (or how you make it) it is tasty dish, which is often served with ham
and green beans. Recipe serves approximately 8.
