Susan St. James Recipes
Many years ago when Phil Donohue was still on tv, he had Susan St. James on his show. She made some recipes that I used to make and my family loved, but I cannot for the life of me remember all the ingredients or how to put them all together.
The first one was a recipe for a barley casserole that had barley, fresh veggies, some kind of cheese (I think Swiss or Mozzarella) and liquid of some sort, and it was baked.
The second one had noodles, onions, tomato soup,corn, and some kind of meat (either chicken or ground beef) and it was baked also.
If you know these recipes, please post them! I would love to make these again.
Thanks and God bless,

Hershey Bar Cupcakes
OK - I'm letting out a secret family recipe that kids and adults love, Hershey Bar Cupcakes
Make yellow cupcakes from a mix (or make your own), divide up one package of Hershey Bars (the multi pack - I think there are 6 full size bars in a pack.) between the amount of cupcakes you made.
When the cupcakes come out of the oven, IMMEDIATELY top with Hershey bars and put back in the oven to melt (turn the oven off first). Now, they can be eaten gooey, as is, or put in fridge for a crunchy top. WE love these!

Oven Rice And Egg Meal
If your family is into rice as much as mine, try this.
Add 1/2 cup pre-cooked rice (Jasmine or Basmati work best) to a muffin pan sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. The large muffin pans work best. On top of the rice, add onion, bell pepper or whatever veggies you have on hand. Over this, break one egg and puncture the yolk. Add 2 Tbsp. water over the top. Bake in toaster oven or conventional oven at 350 degrees F. for 12 minutes. When it's done, place over a toasted English Muffin. It makes a GREAT to-go meal, or just eaten at home. You can add margarine or cheese, or use your imagination.

Buttermilk Waffles
These are light as a feather.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
- 3 eggs, separated
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 Tbsp. sugar or Splenda
- 2 Tbsp. canola oil
Directions
Separate the egg yolks from the whites and place in separate bowls. Beat the egg whites until stiff. Mix other ingredients in the order listed. Fold in egg whites. If the batter seems a little too thick, thin with a little more buttermilk, or a little water. The following directions are for the Belgian Waffle Maker, which is what I use. Heat your waffle iron until the light goes out. Spray the grids with a little nonstick spray before you start baking. You do not have to spray for each waffle, just before the first one. Pour a scant half cup of batter in the waffle iron, and cook until golden brown.
