‘ Simple Suppers

By Barbara B. Brook

All-Bran Muffins Up-sido-down 0th Decaffeinated Coffee

Many housewives plan to serve din- ner in the middle of the day with a lighter meal at night. This custom is almost universal for one day in the week-I-Sunday, and usually there arc callers who will be delighted to avail themselves oi the invitation to "sup- per." The hostess will wish to serve dishes which are easily prepared. probably ahead of time. so that she can the more courteousiy entertain he: guests.

There is a wide range oi recipes- from which the hostess can choose‘ her supper dishes. salads, sandwiches, creamed vegetables, meat or fish on toast, or perhaps a casserole dish with simple v accompaniments may form the meal. l _.

For abevel-age, without which even a simple supper is not complete, we suggest decaffeinated coffee. Ordin- ary coffee is avoided by many at the evening meal on account of the caf- feine which it contains which may cause sleeplessness.

Following are some suggestions for supper menus and some recipes for dishes which may be included ln- the menu:
