2 Tbs. Butter or oleo
1 beaten egg
12 saltine crackers (crushed to a powder type consistency)
1 Tbs. Sugar
8 oz. Velveta cheese (cubed)
Boil the squash and the onions together with salt and pepper until tender.

Ingredients
1 medium sized head of cauliflower--washed
2 Tbs. Water
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp. Minced onion--finely minced
1 tsp. Prepared mustard
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Place the cauliflower in a casserole dish, add the water, cover, and cook on high for about 8 to 9 minutes, or until tinder but crisp. (You ma separate the cauliflower into smaller sections prior to cooking, but it is prettier when it is left as a full head.)
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, onion, and mustard then spoon it over the cauliflower.
Sprinkle the cheese on top.
Microwave the cauliflower again on 80% power for 2 minutes.
Let it stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Ingredients
3 large onions (Spanish or Vidalia onions are best)
6 whole cloves
3 Tbs. Butter or oleo
1 Tbs. Brown sugar
1/4 tsp. Nutmeg
1/4 cup toasted, silvered, blanched almonds
1 dash of cayenne pepper (optional)
Peel the onions and cut them in half.
Place the onion halves in a large saucepan with 2 inches boiling-salted water.
Bring to boil, and simmer the onions for 20 minutes, or until they're almost done.
Drain the onions and stick a whole clove in each half.
Place the onion halves in a casserole or oven-proof dish.
Melt the butter then add the brown sugar, salt, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper.
Make sure the butter mixture is mixed well and then drizzle it over the onions.
Cover the casserole dish and bake the onions at 325 degrees for 45 minutes.
Sprinkle the onions with the almonds and serve while hot.
Arrange the broccoli in a casserole dish with the stalk ends out.
Pierce the stalks with a fork.
Sprinkle the broccoli with water. (You can pour water over it like you are rinsing the broccoli and then drain it.)
Cover the casserole dish and microwave on high for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the quantity.
Let the broccoli stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Ingredients
2 eggs--hard boiled, peeled, and mashed
1 small onion--finely diced
2 Tbs. Mayonnaise
1 Tbs. Vinegar
A dash of salt
Mix together the mashed eggs, diced onion, mayonnaise, vinegar, and salt, adjusting the salt and vinegar to taste.
Chill the sauce before serving.
Hint: This is a good way to get kids to eat broccoli. It worked on me. *S*
Wash the asparagus and cut off the hard ends.
Arrange the asparagus in a casserole dish.
Drizzle the asparagus with about 2 Tbs. to 1/4 cup melted butter.
(You can melt that in the microwave too, or just use squeeze butter.)
Cover the casserole dish and microwave on high for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the quantity.
Thank you.
