EILEEN GOLTZ SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWS

• I t's one of those days where
my life resembles the dy-
namics of the Mideast peace
plan. I have to be a logistics
specialist (three carpools in 45
minutes) and a diplomatic mir-
acle worker (making dinner for
the company I almost forgot
was coming while keeping my
two kids from killing each oth-
er). The last thing I want to
think about is food. Not shop-
ping for it, not preparing it, and
certainly not cleaning up after
eating it!
Face it, there are times that
you're just too busy or too tired
to cook. I confess, I've actually

Kitchen Cleverness
For Busy Cooks

put together meals from bottles,
boxes, a few fresh vegetables
and the desperation born of a
balabusta on the edge. After one
particularly delightful meal of
a frozen chicken pot pie and
Motts apple sauce, my 9-year-
old told me I was the best cook
in the whole world. I now un-
derstand why some species eat
their young.
There are several ways you
can become an instant chef. The
first is to use pre-existing basics
and "doctor" them up. My most
favorite basic is ready-made
spaghetti sauce. By adding sea-
sonings, cooked ground beef, a
variety of sauteed vegetables
and noodles, I can create a
hearty pasta dish. I can also
omit the ground beef and pour
the sauce over a sauteed chick-
en breast. Then I sprinkle it
with seasoned bread crumbs
and bake until bubbly. Voila,
gourmet dining in 20 minutes.
You can become a genius at
developing your own recipes by
keeping a few key ingredients
in your pantry and sticking to
my foolproof plan. The follow-
ing procedure allows you room
to experiment, yet prevents ma-
jor disasters. I call this "Eileen's
Guide to Creative Cooking" or
"How to Flush Away Your Fail-
ures." With all these great in-
structions, you'll either be the

Vegetables: Carrots, peas,
tomatoes, green beans, mixed
vegetables, green or red pep-
pers, celery, onions, artichoke
hearts, water chestnuts, broc-
coli.

Sauces: (Add approximately 1/3
to 1/2 c. non-dairy creamer or
water to the soups) Chicken,
beef, mushroom or tomato soup.
Seasoned tomato sauce,
Spaghetti sauce, canned gravy.

Seasonings: salt, paprika, gar-
lic or onion salt, soy sauce, chili
powder, pepper, Worcestershire
sauce, oregano, basil, tarragon.

Toppings: Bread crumbs, grat-
ed cheese, olives, oyster crack-
ers, cornflake crumbs.

ready to do recipes, here are a
few favorites:
