Jackie Lindley Special to the Tribune-Star The Tribune Star Sun Feb 12, 2012, 05:00 AM EST

TERRE HAUTE — When we lived in the Oilfield area north of Casey, Ill., I had such a wonderful time with two great women — Eathel and Lola Redman. They liked to play cards and I was always busy with the boys. Sometimes if it was close to supper time, Eathel would bring chicken casserole for supper. Lola would bring dessert. The boys really enjoyed it.

Sally Weaver gave me the recipe for her mother’s chicken casserole. It would be great for Valentine’s Day. It’s so easy to make. Thanks, Sally.

Eathel’s Scalloped Chicken

2 cups Creamettes (raw)

1 cup milk

1 cup chicken broth (or more)

1 small onion, chopped

1/2 pound Velvetta cheese

3 hard-boiled eggs

2 1/2 cups cut-up chicken

1 can button mushrooms

n Mix and place in a 9-by-13-inch pan sprayed with nonstick coating; refrigerate overnight.

n Cover with buttered bread crumbs* and bake at 350 degrees for one hour.

* Melt some butter and drizzle over crumbs.

TRIED ’N’ TRUE: Whip up a rhubarb surprise cake
This recipe comes from Ruth Baker. She sent a lot of rhubarb recipes. I have been putting them in the paper for the last three years. I’ve almost used most of them. Some I have used more than others. Mary Hunter also had this recipe. I have made this a lot. Gene really likes this. I use sweetener and yellow or white sugar-free cake mix. The only sugar I put in this recipe is in the marshmallows. Adjust for this. Our grandkids also enjoy this cake. Thanks to Ruth and Mary.

TRIED ‘N’ TRUE: Cherry pie, with streusel topping instead of top crust
Cherries are one of my favorite fruits. This recipe, from Mary Hunter, is one I had never made before. I’ve always made a crust for the top of cherry pie, and this has a streusel topping.
