Hello Nancy & Gang,
For Sue and Betty T in Ga-Yes, you can freeze milk-any percent (1%, whole, etc), whipping cream, and half & half-can be frozen and will have the same taste when thawed. Just make sure it is fresh (check the date), shake well after thawing, and place in a plastic bag (from grocery) to freeze so if there should be a leak around the seal, it will be in the bag. My DH works for the dairy and we do it all the time! *Tip-use half & half in pancakes, waffles, breads, and biscuits and muffins for a light delicious taste.

Lisa-yeah, we leave about 2 days worth of breakfast items in fridge at a time-works great, I we LOVE that day old bread rack-it is great for toast, hot sandwiches (breakfast and others), croutons and as you all know, I believe in warm bread with pasta, soup, and salad!!

Camille, glad you liked the Chick Chick Soup-I throw stuff together all the time, and it usually comes out good, like this for instance.

Oriental Express Dip
8 oz cream cheese-soft
16 oz sour cream
8 oz cheese-any
2 bunches green onions-fine chop
1 jar Hormel bacon bits

1/2 c shredded carrots
1 red pepper-fine chop
8 oz can pineapple tidbits-drain well

Ritz crackers
Pat pineapple with towels. Blend cream cheese and sour cream and mix all ingredients together-chill 1 hour and serve with Ritz.

*Tootie has gone back home, so it is just me again!

Hello Nancy, fur babies and the rest of Nancyland. Boy is it frigid out there, wow. Wind chill factor here is suppose to be -14 tonight. In the Jan. 18th newsletter, Tina from KS was looking for cabbage soup recipes. Here's mine

Cabbage Patch Soup
3 lbs. lean ground beef
4 (14.5 oz) cans stewed tomatoes
4 (15 oz) cans kidney beans
6 medium onions, sliced thin
1 cup celery, chopped
4 cups cabbage, coarsely chopped
3 cups water
3 teas. salt
2 Tbls. Old Bay seafood seasoning
4 teas. chili powder
1 teas. cinnamon

Brown ground beef. Drain. Put all ingredients in a large pot. Heat to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour. Stir occasionally. Serve
Enjoy Barb - La Porte, IN


In response to Gerry in MD (1/18/08), yes, the Egg McMom recipe was recommended for freezing. I don't remember ever refrigerating them as we either ate them or froze them for later. One tip about freezing foods - vacuum sealing keeps all frozen food better. If you don't have one of the sealers, a good substitute is to place your wrapped food in zipper bags, and using a straw, insert it in the package and zip up to it. Then you can suck the air right out through the straw. (I know, it sounds gross, but it really isn't and it works.)
Barbara in AL


Oh how I agree with Mert, there just is nothing like a fresh brown egg. The flavor and richness of brown eggs are so much better. I hope all is well with everyone and especially you Nancy.
Blessings, Iris in Va.


Beef Burgonoinne Extraordinare
1-1/2 lbs chuck roast, cut into cubes
1 can (10 oz) French onion soup
1 can (10-3/4 oz) Golden Mushroom soup
1 cup sweet vermouth

Heat oven to 350 degrees. In skillet, brown meat and place in 3 qt casserole. Add remaining ingredients. Cover and bake for 3 hours. Serve over noodles.

NOTE: Use beef stew meat if you wish.
grannym IL

Doris, S. Indiana in also sent in the same recipe. She added the following note to it. grannyM IL, I'm wondering if you ever made your Beef Burgonoinne Extraordinaire in a crockpot? My DH really liked this dish so I will be wanting to make it this summer without using the oven. Thanks for the information on sweet vermouth. I didn't know to put the bottle in the fridge!! Fortunately, sweet vermouth is not expensive.


Salmon Patties
1 can (15-16 oz) salmon
1 egg
1/3 cup minced onion
1/2 cup flour
1-1/2 tsp. baking soda

Drain salmon and set aside 2 Tbsp. of juice. In a bowl, mix the salmon, egg and onion until it is sticky. Stir in the flour. Add baking soda to the 2 Tbsp. of juice and stir to mix it. Then add the baking soda mixture to the salmon mixture. Stir to mix it all well. You can drop it into hot oil, or you can pat it into a patty.

For Karen in Ohio, you could select the recipe, copy, and then paste into Word and then print. Shouldn't have any brown eating up your ink then.
Susan in GA


For Sue, I freeze milk all the time when we get ready to leave on a trip and I have milk in the refrigerator. It freezes fine. Just remember that milk expands when it freezes , so I would worry if you placed a full gallon (or full quart) that it might push off the lid and freeze right out of the bottle. Just drink a little off the top before you put it in the freezer...and freeze it standing upright or on its side if you have a tight fitting lid. To defrost, leave in the refrigerator for a day or two and it will be ready to pour and drink again.
Jan in (cold) Texas


I made a cake from a recipe I got from the newsletter. I've finally found a dessert that is almost too rich for me! It is exceedingly rich. Using white syrup and also brown sugar should have given me a clue? LOL I think I'm ready for Weight Watchers!
Doris, S. Indiana


For Sue, Yes you can freeze any kind of milk except cream. Cream gets a funny texture. If you do it in the original container pour off a little to leave room for expansion. Learned this from a friend who was over seas and couldn't get out to the commissary as much as she needed. My 90 year old aunt started doing it because she doesn't use up her milk before it spoiled and it saves her from going out in bad weather.
Theresa in MI


To Tina from KS,
This is really good. I make it often. Barb, Fla.

Beef short ribs
1/3 cup lemon juice or to taste
2 tablespoon sweet paprika

Shredded or thin sliced carrots

Put all ingredients in pot and simmer till cabbage is tender.


Hello Nancy I just wanted to let you know of a site I found that will make GLUTEN FREE be so much easier. My husband has had this problem all his life but was not diagnosed till he was 35 years old. Well it was a trip to feed him but things are better in the last 30 years and now this new site is out of this world helpful.
I just wanted to share it with all the other people that have family and friends that suffer with this problem. Thanks and have a great day.

Could you use wontons in the Beef and Cheddar Puffs instead of cresaunts
Thanks Kathy from Fl


For Sue
From January 18

Yes, you can freeze milk. We it quite often if we ae going vacation, etc. All types of milk well. Upon thawing there will be separation but a little shaking gets that taken care of immediately. It tastes just as good as fresh milk. I have had some frozen for several months because I forgot it was there.
The only caution is, if you are using brand new bottles make sure you open it pour at least 1/2 C and use for something. This will give it "head space" so when it freezes and expands you want have a messy freezer.
Good luck to you, Rosemarie in rural Kansas City

Stir the chopped corn into the butter and masa harina mixture. Add cornmeal to mixture and combine. In another medium bowl, mix together the sugar, cream, salt, and baking powder. When the ingredients are well blended, pour the mixture into the other bowl and stir everything together by hand. Pour corn batter into an ungreased 8"x8" baking pan. Cover the pan with aluminum foil. Place this pan into a 13"x9" pan filled 1/3 of the way up with hot water. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the corn cake is cooked through. When the corn cake is done, remove the small pan from the larger pan and let sit for at least 10 minutes.

Hi, Nancy and furry family! This is for Betty in GA who asked about freezing milk. Although I don't know if they recommend it, I used to freeze gallons of milk years back when my son was little and we were on the WIC program. Because they required that we purchase multiple gallons at once because of the nature of the program, we had no choice but to freeze one or more gallons in order to not lose them. The only difference we really saw was that the cream would separate out like old fashioned milk and we'd have to shake the carton or bottle (plastic) before pouring. The taste was the same and we did nothing else different. I don't know about the heavier milk products, though (half and half, cream, etc.) Maybe you ought to buy a half-pint or pint and freeze it just to see how it is when you thaw it. But, I wouldn't be afraid to freeze regular milk if I needed to.
Wendy, S NJ


To Bart,Fl in Jan 15, 2008 newsletter:
In your Cream Cheese Crockpot Chicken recipe, do you think boneless chicken breasts would work just as well? Any adjustments you could think of if used?

Also, for you or anyone else: if I don't want to use Cream of Chicken soup in a can (as in this recipe) what else could I substitute?
Thanks in advance.
Anna


Fellow bakers:
Would any of you happen to have a "clone" recipe for any of the huge delicious muffins that they serve at the Perkins Restaurants? Some of the flavors are, apple cinnamon, peach, blueberry etc. They are so moist and have such a wonderful flavor. Thank you in advance. Stay warm.
Cindi in Nebraska


This is for Linda from PA. My son suggested adding mayo to my mashed potatoes 2 years ago. I haven’t made mashed potatoes any other way since. The mayo adds creaminess & a new taste. (Even my 12 year old grandson asks if I made the mayo mashed potatoes). I just add a soup spoon size dollop along with butter & warmed milk.

From: Hi Everyone: I have a request my dbf brought pablano chilies that he thought were bell peppers anyone have any TNT recipes using these chilies.
Thank You. Jeanie sunny California

Lucky you to have the perfect pepper for Chili Rellenos. This is very simple; make a simple pancake batter or a beer batter that you prefer. Carefully slice the chiles open and depending on how hot you want them remove some or all of the seeds. Remember to wear gloves or wash your hands very well for if you touch your face you will have problems. The oil really irritates the skin especially in the eye area.

Put in a nice chunk of Monterey Jack or if you like it spicy try pepper jack cheese. Close up and dip into the batter and pan fry till peppers are softened and the coating is a lovely golden brown. These are great served with some honey or some like sour cream.

I even love them cold the day after with a great cup of coffee. I am envious of you and hope you enjoy your dbf brought you the peppers.

If you like you can chop them up and flavor your Mexican recipes with them. You can even freeze them for later. Hope this helps.
Detz in MI


This is for Betty G. in Ga. When I was a girl we had really hard winters. My mom always bought extra gallons of milk to freeze. It can be any kind (whole, 2% etc,) The trick is to remove a cup or so first. This leaves room for the container to expand. Thaw setting in sink. Shake it and when it feels like there is still ice about the size of your fist, refridge it. Each time you use, shake first because cream rises to top.

Hello everyone
Thought I would share two of our favorite sauces. The kids really love the Peach Dipping Sauce when we have baked chicken strips. I have just poured it all on top of the boneless skinless chicken strips before I baked them...very good that way too.

As for me, I love the blackberry bbq sauce. I love just about anything with blackberries. They are my favorite fruit. I usually have a blackberry cobbler instead of a cake for my birthday.
Make it a great day!
Lisa (East Texas)

Peach Dipping Sauce for Chicken Strips
16 oz jar of peach preserves
1/4 c Dijon mustard
2 T lemon juice
Process until smooth. May warm in microwave if desired.

Blackberry BBQ Sauce
1/2 c blackberry preserves
1 1/2 c ketchup
1/8 c brown sugar
1/8 t cayenne
1/4 t mustard powder
2 T red wine vinegar

In a medium mixing bowl, mix together all ingredients. Use on chicken, ribs, etc.

I had place mats; hot pads etc. on the table but someone missed the cue. Will someone pleas give me some clues how to solve my problem.
Thank you, Dorothy in Texas


I had a left over pie crust in the freezer so I decided to make this recipe rather then make a pie. Not hard to make, especially if you have pie crust in the freezer. It is definitely a "keeper".

Cheeseburger Pie

1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cup grated Cheddar cheese

Combine egg and milk. Stir in seasonings and cheese. Spread topping evenly over filling. Cover edge of pie crust with 2-3 inch strip of aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning. Remove foil the last 15 minutes of baking. Bake in 425 degree oven for 30 minutes.
Serves 6-8

Notes:
This recipe is very good but if you have any leftovers, it is really good the next night. The flavors seem to mingle.

Betty in MI


Good morning Nancy and all Nancylanders,
Well, we have typical Wisconsin weather here today- 17 below zero with 30 below wind chill. Thank you all for the suggestions on treating my cat not to bite. To Kathy in NC- no he is not an only cat - I also have a female his same age. I think he plays with the female by biting her gently so he thinks that's the way to play with everyone or else this is just a male cat trait. He is so lazy lol - he let's the female clean his face then he bites
her on her ear lol.

Never heard of this in cat's but my vet said my male cat has hay fever of
all things. Thank you all in Nancyland for all the wonderful recipes and a
big thanks and hug to Nancy for all the time you take keeping us recipe
hounds happy lol.
Dianne in Wisconsin

=================

I have 2 kittens that we recently got. One (male) that uses the litter box and the other (female) will not use the litter box. She does her business everywhere. We keep putting her in the litter box to show her but she seems to like to go where ever she wants. Any help on why or what I can do? This has been going on for 2 weeks now....HELP.
Laurie~ muskegon,MI

=====================

Good Morning, I have been seeing the comments about the biting cat. We had that problem with our late cat, Molly. We used the squirt bottle with plain water and it seemed to work well. We have a new kitty now.
She came from a cat "orphanage". She was in a room with 8 or 10 other cats while she was there. We brought her home a week ago. We have gotten her used to us and she will play and come to us, etc. The problem is that she will not come out of the room. We leave the door open and have tried to coax her out. We have picked her up and brought her out and she gets all nervous and runs back in. Does anybody have any suggestions what we can do. She is a lovely cat and we would like to enjoy her other than in her room.
Thanks and Nancy we enjoy all of your cat stories.
Marilyn in Ohio


Hi Nancy and all,
My cat bites when I play with him and I hiss at him like the mother cat would do that is how they discipline their kittens and he stops. I read this some where, and when he gets into things he shouldn't I hiss at him. I tried the water spray bottle but it was always some where else when I needed it!
