Show foinrDClkiiinir By Angie Martin lHHf It's the time of the year to do some green stuff-for St. Patrick's Day, of course. And that surely means that spring is on the way. Let's start off with a nice gren salad. St. Patrick'! Salad "1 1 pkg. lime jello 2 cups hot water J 10 large marshmallows J 1 Lsp. mustard I 2 tbspn. mayonnaise I 1 small can crushed pineapple 1 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese j Mix jello in hot water. Add softened cream cheese and marshmallows, stir until dissolved. Add mustard and mayonnaise. When almost set, add crushed pineapple. Nuts may also be added. And here are a couple of great spinach recipes. I am very fond of spinach, but I know that not everyone shares my taste; however, maybe your "not -so-fond" of spinach family will change their minds when they taste these new concoctions. And spinach is a lovely green color. How does that song go? "It's nice to be green!" "TSdTelTTomatoBs Stuffed With Spinach Preheat oven to 350'. 1 pkg. frozen chopped spinach 2 tbsp. onion, finely chopped 2 tbsp. butter 2 tsp. bread crumbs cup milk Grated fresh nutmeg 4 large tomatoes, halved 3 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled (you can use bacon bits, but I prefer the real thing) 3 tsp. Parmesan cheese, grated Saute onion in butter and then stir in thawed and drained spinach. Add nutmeg, bread crumbs, milk. Simmer for 5 minutes. Pile the spinach mixture on top of tomato halves and cover generously with grated Parmesan cheese and bacon pieces. Bake 20 minutes. Everybody'!
