Popular cheese dishes are Spaghetti and Cheese, Macaroni and Cheese,
Cauliflower and Cheese au Gratin, Potatoes au Gratin, Melted Cheese
Sandwiches, Cheese Crackers, Eggs au Gratin, Cheese Croquettes, etc.
PEANUT BUTTER
Peanut Butter is a highly concentrated, rich food, containing protein,
carbohydrates and fat, all in large proportion. For this reason it may
be used as a main dish in the menu in proper combination. Peanut loaf,
peanut soufflé, peanut omelet, and peanut salad are fitting main dishes
for the dinner or luncheon.
In order to properly balance in the diet, peanut butter must be
combined with foods of more bulk and less food value. Salad dressing
and peanut butter make excellent sandwiches. Combined with tomato pulp
and milk, peanut butter forms delicious soup. It may be used to flavor
and to shorten cookies and drop cakes. It also adds to custards or
salads. Due to its popular flavor, it also lends itself for use in the
making of delicious confections.
BEANS
Beans are in the class with meat and cheese as protein food and may
alternate with them as the main dish in the menu. They offer a variety
to the menu served as bean loaf, soufflé, croquettes, relish, salad, or
as purée.
The choicest commercially prepared pork and beans are made from
selected double hand-picked Michigan pea beans with carefully selected
government-inspected pork. They are cooked by the Appert Dry Steam
Process, thereby blending and retaining all the delicious bean flavor.
This dry steam process renders the beans more easily digestible than is
possible for home-cooked beans.
EGGS
Eggs contain all of the elements necessary to life. Next to milk,
selected eggs are the most economical source of animal protein and,
like milk, contain the growth elements popularly known as fat soluble
A. Vitamines.
The highly concentrated food value of eggs makes it necessary to
combine them with such starchy foods as bread or potatoes so that there
will be sufficient bulk food for the stomach to act upon. Eggs are an
excellent substitute for meat and are as indispensable as sugar in
cooking. It is necessary to cook eggs slowly and at a low temperature
to have them easily digested.
