Bishops Bread

1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup chocolate chips
2 cups chopped walnuts
1 cup chopped dates
1 cup halved candied cherry
3 eggs
1 cup sugar

Preheat oven to 325.

Grease well a bread/loaf pan. If not the non-stick kind, line the bottom only with 3 layers of waxed paper and then grease. Into bowl mix flour, baking powder, and salt; then stir in chocolate chips, walnuts, dates and cherries until well coated with flour.

In large bowl, beat the eggs well; then gradually beat in sugar.

Fold in the flour mixture and mix well (this will be stiff) and pour into greased pan. Bake 1-1/2 hours or until cake tester come out clean. Cool in pan.

Wrap in foil when removed from pan and store at room temp. Slice, serve and enjoy.
This is much better the next day!

I had bought a premade potato dish and decided to duplicate it. Turned out great and
I divided it and froze it for future meals.

I just call it Bacon Cheddar Potatoes

3-1/2 cups water (I use half water, half milk)
1- 1/2 teaspoon black
3-1/2 cups instant potato flakes
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup bacon bits ( can use real thing )
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup sour cream

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat an 8-inch square dish or pan with cooking spray. In a saucepan, bring water, butter, salt, and pepper to a boil over high heat. Remove pan from heat and gently stir in potato flakes, onion, bacon bits and sour cream.

Spoon potato mixture into prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with the cheese bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until heated through and edges are golden.

Bren, I live alone and fix all my favorite food and freeze them for meals. I do Mac and Cheese, meatloaf. stew. chili and etc. I also cook a whole package of spaghetti at once, cool it and put it in freezer bags.

I do the same with the sauce. Makes life a lot simpler. Fry 4 pork chops at a time. Why do one or two. If you just think about it you can really do a lot of things this way. You have a lot of options and good luck !!

Thanks to Robbie for the mac and cheese recipe!

RE: I'm looking for a recipe called Bishop Bread, and hopefully one of your readers has a recipe for this. I used to eat this when I was very young and I don't have a recipe and would like to get one. Thanks for your help.

Here is my modified recipe using two put together recipes for

Scrapple

3/4 cups of cornmeal
1 1/2 cups of water or chicken broth
4-6 dinner size cooked ground sausages, honey garlic or one with a lot
of flavor
1-2 Tablespoon sage
2 Tablespoon parsley
add salt and pepper to taste
.
Bring water to boil and add cornmeal.Cook until it just starts to thicken then add cooked ground sausages.Add rest of the ingredients and cook until thicken.Put into a loaf pan to cool.After well chilled in refrigerator slice and fry in a little olive
oil.Sometimes I don't wait to chill and shape into little patties and fry golden. I have tried a lot of different sausages and my favorite are European or the Honey garlic. I also like the Scrapple cut very thin and fried up crisp.

Here is another scrapple recipe.

Scrapple

1-1/2 Cups yellow cornmeal
1 Cup water
1 Pound bulk pork sausage ( you can use the "hot" sausage if you want, or half
and half)
1/2 Teaspoon dried sage
1 Tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
1 Can condensed chicken broth
2 Cups water
.
In a small bowl, blend together the cornmeal and 1 cup water. In large saucepan, combine pork sausage, seasonings and chicken broth.

Gradually stir in 2 cups water, being careful to separate the sausage into tiny pieces. Bring to boiling and SLOWLY add cornmeal mixture to the boiling mixture, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered for 15 minutes.

Turn into a 9 x 5 loaf pan. Cool; then refrigerate, covered (I wrap the top in foil).

TO SERVE: Turn out of pan and cut into slices about 1/4 inch thick (or however think you like) Saute in hot butter in a skillet until golden brown on both sides. Serve with pancake syrup.
Servings: 4
