When I was in the hospital, the cinnamon rolls they served for breakfast were the best Ive ever tasted. A CALL TO the hospital revealed there are four women who are cooks at the hospital. Each one excells. The person responsible for the delicious cinnamon rolls received the quarterly citation for being the outstanding employee for the quarter ending Nov. 30, 1982. Her name is Ruth Huffaker. THE CINNAMON roll recipe is a favorite of patients, hospital employees and Mrs. Huffakers family. The mashed potatoes added to the roll batter gives the rolls lightness and flavor. IV2 Vi CINNAMON ROLLS (Household Portions) cups scalded milk cup sugar cup shortening Tablespoon yeast put in eggs (beaten) cup mashed potatoes tsp. salt tsp. vanilla Va 1 2 1 1 1 V2 cup warm water SCALD MILK, add shortening, sugar, salt and potatoes. Cool. Add yeast and eggs. Add about 5 cups wheat or white flour or enough flour to give you a soft dough. Let rise. Roll out. Spread with butter, sugar, raisins and cinnamon. Roll out. Let rise then place in oven till brown (375 degrees) about 30 minutes. The hospital uses commercial white flour. Mrs. Huffaker grinds her own wheat into whole wheat flour. She believes in using natural foods in cooking because of the higher nutritional values the natural foods have. The nutrients added to commercial foods have shelf lives that deteriorate within a few weeks. All the nutrients taken out are not put back when commercial flours and other food stuffs are enriched. MRS. HUFFAKER credits her mother with passing on to her family a number of practical homemaking skills including cooking and sewing. My mother cooked with taste and feel, Mrs. Huffaker says. Whether she is preparing food for the hospital patients and employees or for her own family, Mrs. Huffaker uses the taste and feel method. I start with a basic recipe and make a few changes until it tastes and feels right, she says. Originality is very important in my cooking. MENUS USED in the hospital are prepared by the dietitian. Each cook follows the basic recipe but good cooking requires something more than just a recipe. You have to put yourself into it. Somethings turn out better for one person than they will for another, Mrs. Huffaker explains. at the Davis Mrs. Huffaker started working part-tim- e North Hospital when it first opened six years ago. She e cook position just a few months moved into a later. Her cooking experience up until this time centered around her home and family and one job as a cook helper in another hospital. full-tim- THE CHALLENGE of working with people and pleasing them has been good for Mrs. Huffaker. The hospital atmosphere is pleasant. I like the ladies I work with. They are all easy to get along with and pleasant, Mrs. Huffaker says. For the past three years, Mrs. Huffaker has been assigned to the early shift. She starts work at 6 a.m. and continues until 1 p.m. This is a good schedule because Mrs. Huffaker has her afternoons free. BEFORE SHE was assigned to the morning shift, Mrs. Huffaker worked for three years as night cook. On an average, the hospital is filled with 40 patients. About 125 to 150 employees and other people come through the cafeteria at lunch time. THE HOSPITAL serves many breakfast entrees, dinner entrees and full course meals in the cafeteria. The experience Mrs. Huffaker has had through rais ing a family of seven children and through cooking in bulk at the hospital has developed a bulk cooking pattern Mrs. Huffaker finds hard to break. I do everything in bulk. What we dont eat up at home as soon as it is cooked, I freeze. Breads, cookies, fruit slush treats and many other items are always stored in the Huffaker freezer to be used on those days when Mrs. Huffaker cant find time to cook or on frequent but special occasions when the 1 1 Huffaker grandchildren come to visit. PRICES EFFECTIVE JAN. 5, 1983 31-FE- Choice TOP SIRLOIN MY GRANDCHILDREN especially like a fruit slush that I make by blending up canned fruits with juices. I freeze the mixture in small cups. Sometimes I insert a popsicle stick before the slush freezes, Mrs. Huffaker says. This is a good treat and it doesnt have the sugar content you find in popsicles. STEAKS 2.59 , Mrs. Huffaker enjoys canning and drying the fresh produce that comes from the small family garden. She hates waste so the fresh produce that the Huffakers cant use and store is given to children and neighbors. A AND R AN ORGANIZED person, Mrs. Huffaker likes to plan ahead so she can have time to enjoy other things. In January, she starts preparing for Christmas. Her project this year is to make a quilt for all her married children. She always sews outfits for her granddaughters at Christmas time and for birthdays. Her sewing is as creative and original as her cooking. Mrs. Huffaker recalls her mother never used commercial patterns. She would just cut a pattern out of a piece of newspaper. 1 BIG DOGS lb. Meat or Beef r( sAmoccou 1.4 JUST RECENTLY, Mrs. Huffaker had a sister move into the Layton area. The women got together and decided to involve themselves and some members of their families in a wedding decorating business. It started when Mrs. Huffaker loaned out lace tablecloths for weddings. This expanded into silk flower arrangements, centerpieces and scenic backdrops. I like it best when I am busy, Mrs. Huffaker explains. Mrs. Ruth Huffaker is a happy person because she is certainly a busy lady. Besides her job at the hospital, her family, her sewing skills, her wedding catering business and several hobbies, Mrs. Huffaker finds time to help her husband who is an LDS bishop and to give additional service by serving in the Layton West Stake Relief Society presidency. 5)2) Firm Head LETTUCE 4 head Nestle Semi-Swe- et MORSELS 12 oz. 99)1 bag $1.(52) Crisco Northern ANOTHER FAVORITE recipe that is appreciated in the home and in the hospital is for banana bread.
