Suggestions For Reducing The Cost Of January Meals

Use oleomargarine for cooking, top of milk for the coffee and cereal, and half water in all recipes calling for milk.

In Lesson 90 serve plain baked onions instead of creamed; also substitute plain baked apples for apple farci, omitting the cream. In Lesson 91 omit the lamb chops and use dry toast in place of cornmeal muffins.

In Lesson 93 omit the celery and apple salad, also the sabyon sauce. Use 1/4 pound cheese in place of 1 can salmon with the spaghetti in Lesson 95. During the hunting season if quails must be purchased for Lesson 96 substitute 1 pound of veal steak, making mock pigeons. Also omit the green grape jelly.

In Lesson 99 omit the cream sauce and in Lesson 100 the oranges. In Lesson 101 substitute plain bread for muffins, and in Lesson 102, 2 pounds lamb fricassee for 4 pounds veal roast. The stuffing then will not be necessary. Also use creamed parsnips instead of parsnip timbales.

In Lesson 105 serve plain lettuce instead of lettuce salad, omitting salad dressing throughout all the meals, or use "salad oil." In Lesson 106 use dry toast instead of date muffins. In Lesson 107 omit the egg and tomato jelly salad, and in 108 use 1 pint of oysters instead of 1 quart, adding more bread crumbs.
