Best Joleans Sick Egg Recipes
JOLEAN'S " SICK EGG" RECIPE
This is an old family secret that my Mom used to call a "Sick Egg." I remember it from my childhood -- it's the first solid food past the chicken soup stage that Mom would fix us after we were sick with the flu, when we were starting to get hungry but still afraid to eat because of nausea...Hence, the name "Sick Egg." NOTE: This will only make you feel better if you like eggs to begin with...I'm pretty sure it would make things worse if you don't like them!!!

Steps:
- Toast a piece of white bread lightly in a toaster. Leave it plain (no butter.).
- Meanwhile, in a very small non-stick skillet LIGHTLY sprayed with Pam, gently crack 1 egg over medium-high heat (don't add salt or pepper). Cover skillet and LISTEN -- When you begin to hear a slight "sizzling sound", turn the heat off and let it sit (covered) on the burner for about 4 minutes. Uncover and check egg -- there should be NO slimy eggwhite on top, and the yolk should be 1/4 done and 3/4 runny.
- Lay egg flat on top of toast and cut into about 1/2" cubes.
- Transfer to a bowl and toss gently, letting the soft yolk sort of coat the toast pieces a little bit.
- NOTE: My kids now love this recipe and ask for it when they are NOT sick -- So in that case, I BUTTER the toast, I melt 1 teaspoons butter in the skillet to cook the egg in, and I salt & pepper the egg too! (Honestly, I still eat this recipe fixed that way when I'M not sick either!) :) I think my Mom would probably frown upon that -- .

JOLEAN'S CROCK POT SPANISH CHICKEN
This is a recipe that my Mom always made for us in the 70's, which I found in her original 1970 Crock Pot Recipe Booklet (with the page "dog-eared" and check-marked), and over the years has been tweaked just a bit for our own tastes...Super easy, and since I've been married (and divorced) twice now, I can honestly tell you that it is a "Man-Pleaser" as well as a kid-friendly recipe. I make this at least a couple of times every month, and they always ask me when I'm going to make it again! Really tasty, and easy too, since you dump everything in the crock pot in the morning and when you all come home from work or school, the house smells amazing!!!

Steps:
- Wash chicken breasts, drain, and season on both sides with salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder.
- Place seasoned chicken breasts in crock pot.
- Mix tomato paste and beer together and pour evenly over chicken breasts.

- Cover and cook on low for 7-9 hours.
- Serve each chicken breast over a small mound of prepared noodles, and dish sauce (with olives) over each serving. YUM!
- NOTE: You can also substitute 3/4 cup (6 oz.) chicken stock instead of beer. Makes it a bit more savory and seems to be more tasty for kids that way -- .

JOLEAN'S BUTTERSCOTCH PIE, PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH STYLE
This is a personal, absolute favorite of mine!!! Mom never would tell us where she got this recipe (which always made Dad raise one eyebrow...LOL!) And she never gave us girls the recipe while she was here --- it was something truly special to her as well, although I don't know exactly why. I found the old, yellowed, hand-written recipe hidden deep in her personal recipe box after she passed away... The taste and the texture of this pie is incredible, and I've never been able to match it -- I've tried for 6 or 7 years to find a "quick" fix for this. But nope...Nothing doing. Gotta have this exact recipe!!! Once you have this, you'll never fully enjoy any other butterscotch pie!!! (I sound pretty serious, don't I?) LOL! No, seriously, the recipe looks a whole lot more complicated than it really is -- super simple, just home-made! YUM!

JOLEAN'S CHEESE POTATO & SMOKED SAUSAGE CASSEROLE
This was another one of our favorites in the 70's Very inexpensive and very easy to make. Just recently found this recipe hand-written by my Mom, and the warm feelings flood back to me, because this was a true favorite in our house. Little did I know that she was on such a tight budget, yet made things like this that we all loved!! NOTE: The meat that was used in this recipe always varied, according to whatever we had available at the time.
