CHILAKAS--Betty Helquies--a friend of Lynne's

This recipe has become a favorite of everyone who tries it; teenagers especially love it. It is similar to taco salad but is set up buffet style and everyone builds their own Chilaka.

Layer on individual plates:

lettuce, chopped
Fritos brand corn chips
hot chili
tomatoes, chopped
olives, chopped
green onions, chopped
ranch dressing or sour cream
salsa

THE RECIPES I USE THE MOST

ARTICHOKE DIP--for Christmas
BARBEQUE SAUCE--A must have for so many things. Wonderful on hot dogs.
BLACK BEAN SOUP--A simple little soup, very tasty.
BREAKFAST BARS--These are wonderful and for some reason seem to be a diet food. Everytime I eat them it seems I have lost weight the next day.
BROILED CHICKEN--Fast and easy.
CARROT CAKE--The best!
CATALINA SALAD DRESSING--We have this in the fridge at all times.
CHERRY CREAM CHEESE PIE--Easiest dessert and the best.
CHICKEN WITH DUCK SAUCE--Kraut's faovorite. I love it too.
CHILAKAS--Teenagers adore these.
CHOCOLATE CHIP-TOFFEE BITS-OATMEAL COOKIES--The BEST chocolate chip cookie.
CINDY CROOKSTON’S FABULOUS SPAGHETTI SAUCE--A wonderful crock pot recipe. I use the leftovers from this for Pizza Penne.
EASIEST WHOLE WHEAT BREAD--Truly a wonderful bread.
KALE AND BEAN SOUP--This is probably the most used recipe in my whole collection. I make HUGE pots of it in the fall when the kale is ready and then freeze it in quart zip-freezer bags. It makes a nice lunch and I always have some on hand to take to someone who is ill.
KNOR SPINACH DIP--Everyone has this recipe and that's because it's the best.
MUSHROOM ASPARAGUS LASAGNA--A favorite springtime recipe.
PARMESAN ROLLS--This is another favorite of mine. A local restaurant, Magleby's, serve these before you have even ordered and are they are much loved.
PIZZA PENNE PASTA--This is one of the few leftovers that I will eat. In fact I hope no one else will want to eat it as I love it and will eat it every day for days on end. I make a double batch of this so I have some to give away.
POPCORN WITH BROWNED BUTTER--Don't make microwave popcorn, do it this way. You won't be sorry.
POPPY SEED SALAD DRESSING--I am not allowed to go to pot lucks without this!
RUSSIAN TEACAKES--It wouldn't be Christmas without these.
SPICY SPAGHETTI SAUCE--Make it one day and then use the leftovers to make Pizza Penne or Lasagna.
STUFFED POTATOES--This is a favorite of mine and of Her Excellency of Mousehole. They are good warmed up the next day--or the next--so I always make extra.
SUMMER PASTA--The BEST pasta ever.
SUNBURGERS--When we were vegan I made these and froze them so we always had something to eat.
THICK WATER--If you want to make salad dressings lower fat this is a must.
YOGURT--A MUST make in the spring when the strawberries are in season.
