Last winter when we were all shivering in sub zero temperatures, we were warned by some longtime Iowa residents to be prepared for a scorching hot, city summer. Shades of '34 and '36, they said. And they were right! It certainly has been a "good, old fashioned Hawkeye summer". But it's been a good year for gardens; and so the pages that follow are filled with seasonal selections, with some old favorites and new ideas thrown in for spice. We hope you enjoy them all.

CHICKEN NAPOLI ALA CROCK POT

1 teaspoon seasoned salt
¼ cup flour
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon paprika
1 frying chicken, cup up
1 pound zucchini, cut into thin slices
½ cup chicken broth

Put the first 5 ingredients into a bag and coat the chicken pieces. Place the zucchini in the bottom of the crock pot. Pour the chicken broth over the zucchini. Put the coated chicken pieces over this. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours. NOTE: You may add mushrooms for the last hour.

SPAGHETTI TETRAZZINI

1 can sliced mushrooms, drained
1 clove of garlic, minced
¼ cup chopped onions
2 tablespoons butter
1 can cream of chicken soup
¼ cup milk
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/8 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 cup cooked chicken, cubed
4 oz. spaghetti, cooked and drained

Cook the mushrooms, garlic, and onions in the butter. Add the soup, milk and 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese, and the poultry seasoning. Add the spaghetti noodles and the chicken. Sprinkle with the rest of the Parmesan cheese. Bake in a 450° oven for 10 minutes.

CHICKEN CASSEROLE

5 Chicken Breasts, split, boned and skinned
5 slices bacon
1 4 oz. package chipped beef
1 pint sour cream
1 can Cream of Mushroom soup

Roll chicken breasts and wrap each in a slice of bacon. Place rolls on bed of shredded beef in baking dish. Mix sour cream and soup and spread over chicken. Bake at 300° for 3 hours, uncovered. Serves 5.

SOUTH DAKOTA SHAKE N BAKE

1 cup bread crumbs
¼ cup flour
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 tablespoon paprika
1½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper

Mix this all together. Bake pork at 350° for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Chicken bakes at 400° for 40-50 minutes.

When butter is too hard to spread easily use a vegetable peeler to shave off thin curls from the stick. Almost instantly they will be soft and easy to spread.

CHINESE (PORK CHOP OR CHICKEN) MARINADE

½ cup oil
¼ cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
½ teaspoon ginger powder
1 medium clove garlic, crushed (¼ teaspoon garlic powder)
1 tablespoon brown sugar

Mix well. Marinate the pork chops (or chicken) for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Using a small knife, make a pocket in each Iowa chop by cutting into the center from the rib side, parallel to the rib bone and the surface of the chop. For stuffing, cook onion in butter until transparent and combine with rice, cheese, worcestershire sauce, 1¼ teaspoon salt and pepper. Fill pockets with 3 tablespoons stuffing. Lightly brown chops in drippings. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt, place on rack in roasting pan; cover with foil. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 30 minutes longer or until done. 6 servings.

SAUSAGE SOUFFLÉ
(a breakfast casserole)

1 pound of link sausage
6 slices of bread, cubed
1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
1½ cups milk
4 eggs, beaten
¼ teaspoon salt
pepper to taste

Brown the sausages and cut into thirds. Alternate layers of bread, sausage and cheese in a greased 1 quart casserole. Mix together the milk, eggs and salt (pepper) and pour over the casserole. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Bake at 325° for 45 minutes. Serve.

Then add the tabasco and whiskey to make a firm dough. Knead 5 or 6 times and shape by round teaspoonsful. Arrange well apart on a lightly greased baking sheet. With a fork, dipped in flour, flatten each ball in a crisscross pattern to make a thin wafer. Bake at 375° for about 15 minutes. Makes 5 to 6 dozen. Serve hot.

Now here's something unusual!

PEPSI COLA ROAST

3 to 4 pound roast

Pour a can of cream of mushroom soup over the roast. Sprinkle with a package of dry onion soup mix. Then, pour a bottle of Pepsi around the roast in the pan (instead of water). Cover tightly (in a Dutch oven or roaster) and cook as usual.
