Sauce for Swiss Steak
SAUCE FOR SWISS STEAK
2 c. tomato sauce
2 c. tomatoes
1 c. ketchup
1 1/2 bay leaves
1 1/2 tbsp. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. thyme
1/4 tsp. garlic salt
1/4 tsp. marjoram
chopped celery
chopped onion
strips of green pepper
3 c. water
Combine ingredients and pour over steak in a casserole dish. Bake, covered, at approximately 325 t0 350F for a couple of hours.
I used round steak that I pounded with my pampered chef tenderizer, and did it in the crockpot till the steak was soft. Really nice flavour.

Strawberry/Rhubarb Crepes with Cream Cheese Filling
FILLING:
In a large bowl, combine above ingredients. Cover and refridgerate for 1 hour.
In a 8" nonstick skillet, melt 1 tsp. butter. Stir batter; pour about 2 tablespoons into the center of skillet. Lift and tilt pan to evenly coat bottom. Cook until top appears dry; turn and cook 15-20 seconds longer. Remove to a wire rack.
In a saucepan, combine rhubarb, water, sugar, lemon peel and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat until rhubarb is soft, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in strawberries, lemon juice and cinnamon. Add food coloring if desired.
I used strawberry/rhubarb pie filling this morning, but I do make the sauce from scratch in the summer when I have access to fresh fruit. We've also used apple, or cherry, or blueberry piefilling. I have a crepe pan, so I use quite a bit more batter than the 2 tbsp. the recipe calls for.
