COOKING WITH CENTS

• I thought that with the way our economy is swaying-
• I would start digging out recipes that are old and true and have stood the test of time- I am slowly teaching my Miss Ashley that we do not go to the store in between grocery shops-
• I will try to share some of the recipes that I find brighten our day-
• when we were kids mama made puff wheat squares about once a month- now I see these squares selling in tea shops for over 2 dollars for one piece- (kids can have fun making the mixture into balls similar to popcorn balls for their bag lunch-)
• -------------------
• PUFFED WHEAT SQUARES
• --------------------------
• 1/3 cup margarine-
• 1/2 cup corn syrup
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tables spoons cocoa-- and
• 8 cups of puffed wheat
• cook margarine, corn syrup, brown sugar and cocoa just until bubbly= if you over cook the mixture it will be quite hard to bite into the squares
• pour over the puff wheat and pack into a greased 9 by 13 pan. allow to cook before cutting-
• have fun-
