From ST-KA member Susan Hirsch...
Chicken Diablo
1 whole chicken (Can use split breasts and /or thighs)
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup Dijon or brown mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon curry powder
Melt butter in a shallow pan. Stir in remaining ingredients. Roll chicken in butter mixture and bake, meaty side up.
Bake at 325 degrees uncovered for 1 hour
Noodle Kugel
1 pkg. wide egg noodles (8 oz)
4 beaten eggs
4 tablespoons melted butter or margarine
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup white raisins
1 jar (15 oz.) unsweetened applesauce
Mix all ingredients except noodles; fold in noodles. Sprinkle topping (see below) over noodle mixture and bake 35 minutes at 375 degrees.
Bake in a buttered 7 1/2 x 11 1/2 dish.
Topping
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
I usually double the recipe and bake for 45 minutes in a 9 x 13 dish. The topping is enough for the doubled recipe.
Old Fashioned Apple Crisp
6 medium (6 cups) tart cooking apples*, peeled, cored and sliced
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup cold butter
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place apples into un-greased 8-inch square baking dish.
Combine brown sugar, oats, flour and cinnamon in a bowl; cut in butter with a pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle crumb mixture over apples. Bake 25-35 minutes or until apples are tender and topping is golden brown.
Serve warm with ice cream, if desired.
*Suggest Granny Smith, McIntosh or Braeburn apples.
Mandel Bread
1 cup sugar
4 cups of flour
1 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
3 Tablespoons orange juice
2 heaping teaspoons baking powder
(chopped nuts or chocolate chips optional)
Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix well until dough is sticky. Form 2 to 3 rolls and place on parchment paper.
Bake 30-40 minutes at 350 degrees.
Cool for 10 minutes; then slice on a diagonal. sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and bake on its side for 7 minutes.
Sprinkle the other side with cinnamon sugar and bake another 7 minutes

Brisket
Cut up potatoes, carrots and celery.
Put them in a roasting pan with a brisket.
Pour your favorite barbeque sauce on top and cook, covered until tender.
You can also do this with chicken instead of brisket.
