Real Housewives
cookbook

We begin having brunch with the cast of the Real Housewives of
Atlanta. Then we move onto a light lunch of all the favorite
dishes of the cast of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Now it
is time for happy hour with our favorite party girls and current
cast members of Real Housewives of Miami. Feeling really good
now we can visit our dear friends and current members of Real
Housewives of New Jersey for an authentic Italian meal. After all
that fun it is so sad to have to say goodbye, but not before we
try some nightclub menu style food with the current cast of Real
Housewives of New York.

sweet potato waffles
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups peeled and cubed sweet potatoes
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 egg whites, at room temperature
1 cup milk
1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 tablespoon grated orange rind
Vegetable spray, for waffle iron
Special equipment: steamer basket and waffle iron
Directions
Put cubed sweet potatoes in a steamer basket. Place the basket
in a large pot of simmering water that is no closer than 2 inches
from the bottom of steamer. Allow potatoes to steam for 20
minutes of until fork tender. Mash cooked potatoes and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt and
set aside.
In another bowl combine the sweet potatoes, milk, brown sugar,
butter, and grated orange rind. Stir the sweet potato mixture into
the flour mixture and thoroughly combine. Beat egg whites until
stiff peaks form. Gradually fold egg whites into batter 1/3 at a
time. The batter will be thick. Using a No. 20 disher (scoop), place
2 scoops of batter onto a preheated, oiled waffle iron, and cook
until lightly browned, about 5 to 6 minutes.

2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni (an 8-ounce box isn't quite 2

3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup sour cream
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can condensed Cheddar cheese soup
1/2 teaspoon salt

biscuits

Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
Milk gravy, recipe follows
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder,
baking soda and salt. Cut in the shortening with a fork until
it looks like cornmeal. Add the milk, a little at a time, stirring
constantly until well mixed.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead lightly
two or three times. Roll out the dough with a floured rolling pin
to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with a 2-inch cutter.
Place the biscuits in a greased iron skillet. Gently press down top
of biscuits. Brush the biscuits with half the melted butter. Bake
for 14 minutes or until golden brown. Brush the hot biscuits with
the remaining butter. Split the biscuits in half and ladle milk gravy
over the hot biscuits.
