Lion House Rolls
Keep dough frozen until ready to bake. Spray a 9x13 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Place rolls evenly apart with the end of the roll facing down and facing the same direction. Cover lightly with plastic wrap. Let rolls rise for 3-5 hours, until double in size. Actual time will depend on the temperature of your kitchen. Preheat oven to 375°. Carefully remove plastic wrap. Bake rolls 15-18 minutes until golden brown. Remove rolls from oven and brush lightly with melted butter.
SPEED METHOD: place rolls in pan as indicated above. Do not cover. Preheat oven to 200°. Boil 1 quart of water, place in a shallow pan on bottom rack of oven. Place pan of frozen rolls on the top rack. Let dough rise about 1 hour, or until double in size. Do not allow to rise too high. Rolls will raise more as they bake. Remove rolls from oven and preheat the oven to 375°. Bake as indicated above.
After baking and cooling rolls place in plastic bags. They may be stored in the refrigerator for 4 days or frozen.

Canadian Cheese Soup
From Lion House Cookbook
½ cup chopped onions
¼ cup butter or margarine
¼ cup flour
1½ TBL cornstarch
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp white pepper
1 quart milk, heated
1 quart chicken stock, heated
¾ cup diced carrots, cooked
¾ cup diced celery, cooked
1 cup shredded sharp cheese
¼ cup chopped parsley
Sauté onion in melted butter until transparent but not brown (5-10 minutes). Add flour, cornstarch, paprika, salt and pepper. Cook on low heat for about 10 minutes. Add milk and chicken stock and cook, stirring continuously, until thickened. Chop the cooked vegetables very fine, or mash slightly. Add them to milk mixture. Taste to correct seasonings. Just before serving, stir in shredded cheese and chopped parsley (optional). Amount of vegetable may be increased to 1 cup if thicker soup is desired.
I added some cooked long grain rice, cooked/cubed chicken, grated swiss and sharp cheddar cheese for a heartier soup.

Tom Yum Soup with Noodles
5 cups Water
2 cans Chicken Broth
2 Garlic Cloves (minced)
1 Tbs. Olive Oil (to brown Chicken in)
2 Tbs. Fresh Grated Ginger (or more to taste)
4-6 Kaffir Lime Leaves (rough them up to let flavors release)
2 Tbs. Fish Sauce
2 Tbs. Chili Paste with Soya Bean Oil ( more or less for spiciness, this is pretty mild)
2 Limes (juiced)
2 dried Thai Chili Peppers( optional-adds a little heat)
2 stalks Lemon Grass (chop into 2 inch pieces and smash to release flavors)
1 Tbs. Palm Sugar (or brown sugar)
2 Green Onions (chopped)
8 oz. Mushrooms (sliced)
1 can Coconut Milk (optional)
½ bunch Cilantro (chopped)
Asian Noodles
½ pound Shrimp
1-2 Chicken Breasts (chunked)
In large pot heat 1 Tbs. oil and lightly brown Chicken and Garlic (salt and pepper chicken to taste). Then add 5 cups water and 2 cans chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Add bag #1 (Lemon grass, Kaffir Lime Leaves, Chili Peppers–optional, and Palm Sugar). Reduce heat and cover. Let simmer 15 min. Remove lid and add bag #2 (Soya Bean Oil, Ginger and Fish Sauce). At this time also add Noodles and Mushrooms. Let cook until noodles are soft. (about 5 min.) Just before serving add the Shrimp (they are already precooked and just need to be warmed through) and bag #3 (Cilantro, Lime juice, Green Onions). You can also choose to add the Coconut Milk. It makes it less spicy and adds a sweet flavor. Personally it’s better with it but my Husband likes it without. I usually add it to each individual bowl to taste. Remove Lemon grass pieces, Kaffir Lime Leaves and Dried Chili Peppers before serving. Enjoy!
Tip for storing Cilantro: Right when you bring it home from the store rinse it and chop the ends. Shake off excess water. Then put it in a cup with about ¼ inch water. Cover it with the produce bag it came in and store in the fridge. I’ve had it last for weeks this way.
