Sensational stratas Easy brunch recipes for busy weekends
By SYLVIA ANDERSON St. Joseph News-Press
When you need to fix a brunch for weekend guests but have more things planned for the day than cooking in the kitchen, make a strata. Call it a breakfast casserole, bread pudding or egg bake if you will, but officially these eggcheese-and-bread-refrigerate-overnight dishes are called stratas, according to cookthink.com. There’s a reason they continue to be a popular menu item. A strata is easy to assemble, and when morning comes, you simply take it out of the fridge and bake it in the oven while you get the coffee on and set the table. You could make one every weekend, but to avoid strata burnout, vary the ingredients. Try

cornbread, hash browns or English muffins for the bread. Experiment with different cheeses. And any vegetable that works in an omelet would work in a strata. Check out these recipes from local cooks Mary Piatt, John Courter and Bea Dobyan, who shared some of their favorites.
Mary Piatt’s egg and cheese casserole This is your basic strata recipe, the golden standard we all love. And it’s a great way to use bread that has become a little dry. “This is a recipe that my mom used to make growing up,” Mary says. “We still enjoy it today at all of our family gatherings.” 1 pound sausage, ham or

T
he vendors at the Pony Express Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market share more than their love for gardening. During decades of summers selling locally grown produce, this collection of small businesses has become a family of its own.
They travel from farms across rural Northwest Missouri to the market at East Ridge Village each Wednesday and Saturday. Here, they continue to grow their roots of friendship and family with other market vendors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of us have been at the same market for quite a few years,â&#x20AC;? farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; market vendor Connie Callow says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of us are neighbors, and some of us are good friends. Of course you get to be friends with all of them when you see them all summer long.â&#x20AC;? Along with her husband, Mrs. Callow has been selling tomato plants, sweet corn and pumpkins from their family farm at the market for 16 years. She says she takes pride in the plants and produce the farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; market offers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love the idea that everything is fresh and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s locally grown and we can speak for what we got,â&#x20AC;? Mrs. Callow says. The common passion for growing has helped cultivate a community of vendors who know and encourage each other. Vendors, such as Sandra Justice, support others by shopping at the market. Mrs. Justice sells homemade pickles, which she makes with supplies she
purchases from other vendors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I buy the cucumbers from the other farmers at the market,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So these are really completely local.â&#x20AC;? Homemade breads, pickles and organic beef are just some of the uncommon treats found at the market. These unusual products, which shoppers would not find in supermarkets, are one reason visitors come to the market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Organic beef is healthier for you than a lot of the stuff in stores,â&#x20AC;? Ashley Wells from Wells Family Farms says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-natural, grass-fed beef with no pesticides, no hormones and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 95-percent lean.â&#x20AC;? Popcorn is Lula Drydaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contribution to the unusual. She began selling it after her husband accidently planted more than he needed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been raising popcorn for the last 20 years, and we goofed one year and we planted a whole acre of popcorn. Ever since then, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been bringing it to the farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; market, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a really good seller.â&#x20AC;? Despite the popularity of these unique products, green beans, tomatoes and other vegetables still are the marketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary

Ryan Fakes, president of the Pony Express Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market, has been selling produce from LNR farms out of Rushville, Mo., for 12 years. This market is an alternative to selling their product, and Mr. Fakes says the farmers get full value for their products while keeping close ties with families like themselves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a family business,â&#x20AC;? Mr. Fakes says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mom and Dad started it, and I help keep it going. We come back to the market because we enjoy it, and we enjoy the people.â&#x20AC;? The mild winter coupled
with early warm weather could lead to a bug problem later in the summer, but for now, Mr. Fakes says the
market is proud to offer the first wave of green beans, lettuce and onions of the summer.

Doctors advise against delayed vaccination schedule
By JENNIFER GORDON St. Joseph News-Press
Local doctors point to the rise in pertussis cases as a reason to stick to the Centers for Disease Control and Preventionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vaccination schedule. Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, cases are on the rise both locally and on a national level. The Kansas City Star reported May 20 that Johnson County, Kan., had 111 reported cases of pertussis. Washington State, which has made headlines for its high number of diagnoses, reported 1,738 cases through the week of May 19. A pertussis outbreak
in California in 2010 left 10 babies dead. Buchanan County has not had any reported cases in 2012, says Nancy Taylor, public information officer for the City of St. Joseph Health Department, but the county had two cases in 2010. The CDC recommends children be immunized against pertussis with the diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis vaccine. The DtaP is given at ages 2, 4 and 6 months, then sometime between 15 to 18 months and again between ages 4 and 6. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also receive a dose between ages 11 and 12 and then a booster shot every 10 years.
A 2011 study published by Pediatrics found 13 percent of respondents opted for an alternative vaccination schedule. That opinion was shared in a May 7 News-Press column where the writer discussed her reasons to delay some of her childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vaccines. Area health care providers say that deviating from the CDC schedule puts children more at risk for diseases like pertussis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once you see kids die from the disease or get permanently maimed from the disease, then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a different story,â&#x20AC;? says Dr. Karl Kosse of Kosse Pediatrics, who has treated pertussis cases in his
office in the past. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d think people were crazy for not vaccinating.â&#x20AC;? Dr. Cynthia Brownfield agrees. The Heartland Pediatric and Adult Care pediatrician says the majority of the nation chooses to vaccinate their children, which gives those who opt out herd immunity. The vaccination rate means the U.S. doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see a lot of deaths from polio or Haemophilis influenzae type b (Hib). Since the vaccination for Hib came out, incidence of the disease dropped off by 99 percent, according to a report by the National Institutes of Health. It used to affect
about one in 200 children under age 5. Most vaccines have minor side effects that only affect a handful of children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why people would think that there would be some benefit for the American Academy of Pediatrics to give children toxic substances,â&#x20AC;? Dr. Brownfield says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what incentive the AAP would have to actually inject some sort of toxic substance in children.â&#x20AC;? Bobbi Jo Williams, a registered medical assistant at Kosse Pediatrics, recommends parents ask their pediatrician whether the practice uses
vaccines with thimerosal if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re worried about the preservative. Parents should research if they think they want to vary the vaccination schedule, she says. If a website cites a study, read the full study, not just the excerpt that supports the website authorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s point. Though her practice prefers to follow the CDC recommendations to a T, she says the providers will work with parents who want to change the schedule. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather see an alternative schedule than no vaccines at all. Jennifer Gordon can be reached at jennifer. gordon@newspressnow.com. Follow her on Twitter: @jjgordon.

Pour in to a greased 9-by-13-inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes or until eggs are set and bubbly. Test with toothpick. If it comes out clean without any liquid on it, it’s done. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
Feather Bed Eggs This strata from Bea Dobyan of St. Joseph uses cornbread for the base and is the perfect complement for the optional crispy bacon or ham. “The Feather Bed Eggs is one we used to make at the Albrecht-Kemper Museum for morning functions with brown sugar bacon,” Bea says. “The Gourmet Cooks are no longer, but this recipe I treasure for morning big

Combine butter/onion mix, artichoke hearts, cheese, eggs, pepper, parsley and a little salt to taste in a bowl and mix gently. Pour into an ungreased 9-by-13-inch glass casserole dish.

Set at 325 degrees (maybe slightly higher depending on oven) for 35 to 40 minutes (also depending on oven). Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Cut into squares.
