FOR YOUR FAMILY

Cream pie, meat pie. sausage. po-
tato pancakes, rice with cheese, an
easy salad dressing, cauliflower, and a
good old layer cakel
Here are new ways to make them |;
ways that have been tried by WiscOn-
sin women who know they are good be-
cause the family wants them often.
When "a family doesn't get tired of a
dish, its reputation is established.
Variety Is said to be the most i'm
portant factor in planning meal.
Serve baked beans three times week
and no one but BoStonian will eat
them with enthusiasm the third time.
But II they are cooked differently each
time, the problem will be solved.
If you are tired of your method of
cooking cauliflOwer, try Miss Breese's /;
If your recipe for meat pie has. been
overwOrked, try Mrs. Brewers. If you
are tired of any one OF the dozen
things that a housekeeper prepares
over and over each week, see If you
can't find some suggestions in these
recipes that have been tested by Wis
caulifower, Prepared Whole.
Clean cauliilower thoroughly. Level
Off bottom so it will set firm on a
plate. Steam whole. When tender,
put on serving plate. sprinkle with
paprika and grated cheese. Make a
white sauce and pour around it. Serve
little sauce with each serving of
cauliflOwer.-MisS Laura Breese, Wau-
