Party dip gets rave reviews

IRST, an easy dip recipe that serves a big
group and is one of my most requested

recipes. Serve with unseasoned taco chips —

I like Diane’s brand.

CHILI CON QUESO

2 19 oz. tins chili without
beans

1 lb. Velveeta cheese, diced
1 bunch green onions,
chopped

1 heaping Tbsp (or more,
but only if you like super
hot food) chopped, canned
green chilis.

Combine and bake until
very hot and the cheese melts.
Sur before serving.

Super Valu is featuring
fresh coho salmon, whole, at
$2.49 a pound this week.
They’re great on the BBQ.
Before I knew better, 1 used
to stuff whole salmon with a
bread crumb-onion mixture
and wonder why the fish was
dry and the stuffing soggy.
Now, | fill the cavity with
shced onion green pepper, a
dusting of dry Italian herbs
and wrap the fish in heavy du-
ty foil. If your package ts
about 4”’ thick it will take 20
minutes a side on the grill.

Macleans is fine toothpaste
— look for it at 89¢ (100ml)
at Super Valu_You'll save a
bundle by stocking up. It’s
also a good time to stock up
on lean ground beef - $1.69 a
pound.

Safeway has a 20 per cent
off sale on beef this week but
1 think you'll find that their
best buy is the whole fryers at
99¢ a pound. A few of these
in the freezer can give you a
nice feeling of secunty —
especially towards the end of
the month.

1 like to simmer a couple of
chickens, pick off the meat
and re-freeze it in small
packages for salads, sand-
wiches or casseroles. Bol
down the broth until it’s very
concentrated and keep for
soups and gravy

Buy Low has chicken
breasts featured at $1.98 a
pound - fresh, so you can
freeze them. | know it’s a lot
of work to bone a big order
of chicken breasts all at one
time but you'll be so glad you
did when you need them in a
rush. Keep all the bones and
boil them for stock.

| rarely buy round stcak as
my family doesn’t like any
beef ‘‘well done’’ —
eliminating pot roasts, Swiss
steak and stews from the
menu more than twice a year
No accounting for taste! My
mother used to stuff and roll
a round steak and braisc 11 all
afternoon on the top of the
stove in her old cast iron
skillet with a lid. Look for
round steak at $2.09 a pound
at Buy low.

Look for fresh scallops at
$4 49 at Stong's this week If
they have any big ones, try
them wrapped in bacon and
brotled. The trick ts to keep
turning them under the
broiler so) that) the bacon
cooks evenly They make a
fine first course for a BBQ’d
roast — the = sirloin tips
(boneless) arc a budget beater
at $2 48 a pound at Stong’s

Try fresh raw broccoh (496

a pound) and tomato wedges
(Jame price) with oa sour
cream dip to go along to max
cyqual parts sour cream god

shaking of garlic powder and

It’s worth a tmp to Wood-
ward’s this week — sirloin
steak at $2.99 a pound is an
excellent buy. Since | never
know how many will arrive
for dinner, 1 cut these into
single-serving pieces for the
freezer.

While you’re there,
peaches at 49¢ and nectarines
at 59€ are a good buy. If
Nabob ts your favorite brand
of coffee, it’s featured at
$2.87 for the 369 g pkg.

Cauliflower has been very
high priced this year but look

for it at 48¢ a pound this
week at IGA. We like it raw
with that sour cream dip
mentioned earlier. If | hap-
pen to be deep frying I often
dip pieces of lightly steamed
cauliflower (and almost any
other vegie) in the left-over

batter and fry until crisp.
Although Caesar cocktails
are popular all year round, |

find that they’re particularly
requested in the summertime.
(Personally, I’d rather drink
Draino but Brian will always
help me out and drink my
share). Anyway, the essential

which I’m eternally grateful
