Hi Nancy,
You newsletter is a bright spot in my day. I collect cookbooks and have several thousand.

Back in the 1980's I bought a bottle of MOX. It gets diluted 1 part MOX to 10 of water. It is the best to get pet accidents out of the carpet of furniture. I would love to hear from anyone who knows where I can buy some. Thanks for your help.

Greetings! Over 40 years ago, my parents hosted a catered event in our home. One of the desserts that was out on the food tables was this wonderful banana dish. I remember that the dish looked simply like halved bananas rolled in some kind of cream and then in toasted coconut. I have yet to figure out what the cream base was and wondered if any of the Readers out there could help me figure out the recipe. It wasn't just a sweetened whipped cream as the bananas stayed fresh tasting for hours during the dinner. The flavor is this dish has stayed with me all these years and I'd love to make it for my family.

And for those you seeking a really great and easy TNT Coconut Cake recipe, here's a very easy one that I learned how to make while in Hawaii years ago. It has a very fresh coconut flavor and is served in many luaus around the islands. Its your basic "Poke" cake and is just wonderful at any time of the year.
Andee In L.A.

Coconut Cream Cake
1 boxed yellow or white cake, (baked according to directions on box)
1 can of coconut milk (Look in your Asian food section-Thai coconut milk works well!)
1 1/2 cup of shredded, flaked and sweetened coconut
1 8oz. tub of Cool Whip ( I like the "extra rich" but any of the varieties work in this recipe

Bake the cake according to directions in a 9x13 pan. Once you remove it from the oven, poke holes over the top of the hot cake with a fork, poking down to the bottom of your pan. Shake up the can of coconut milk and pour the liquid directly on to the surface of the cake, making sure that the coconut milk is spread evenly and soaks into the holes. Place the cake into the refrigerator and let it cool for at least 2 hours. When you are ready to serve the cake, just spread the Cool Whip over the top and sprinkle well with the coconut. Enjoy!


This is for Trisha R. on January 29 newsletter. I had this at Bunco and I thought it was the best

Hi Nancy,and all . Would like to know if anyone has purchased a Sunbeam breadmaker and what are the pros and cons of it. I am thinking of getting one , but haven't heard of anyone who has got one .

Hi Nancy Furbabies and all,

I just want to thank you for all the hard work that you put into this newsletter. I look forward to each and every one. I especially love to hear about the antics of your kitties. I hope that your hand heals very well and fast.

I have been reading all the comments from people about the new crockpots. I came across the following chart and thought that maybe this might come in
handy.

1 cup (4-ounce) shredded pepper jack cheese
2 tablespoons salsa, plus salsa for dipping, optional
1/2 cup green onion tops, sliced

Hi Nancy and friends, here I am with another request. In December I was at a book store and picked up a Gooseberry Cookbook. I intended to buy it after Christmas but I've forgotten which one it was. I know it had some kind of blueberry sauce recipe in it and it was all about giving gifts of food. I have looked on the internet at their books but now I can't figure out which one it is. I think it was a brownish cover. I even looked at the index that they show with most books. I won't get back to that store for a while and it may not even be there as I only saw one of them. Anyone have an idea which one it was? Thanks for your help.

In the Feb. 1 newsletter Detz-MI. and Donna-Pa. asked about Chocolate Gravy.

There are several variations but this is the one my grandsons love; their former babysitter would fix breakfast for the kids before they went to school and this was their very favorite. She gave me the recipe and even though they are older now they consider it a special treat when I make them chocolate gravy. Donna, I’m sure your grandchildren/great-grandchildren will love it. My grandsons prefer the inexpensive regular size canned biscuits because they are easy to ‘tear’ into pieces .

Nan”s Chocolate Gravy
1 cup sugar
2-1/2 tablespoons Hershey’s cocoa (3 tablespoons if generic brand)
2-1/2 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk

Mix all ingredients; cook over medium heat until it thickens to desired consistency. Put approximately 1 tablespoon butter or margarine on plate; spoon some of the gravy over butter. Dip hot biscuits into gravy and enjoy. I suppose you could serve over buttered biscuits but pulling the biscuit in pieces and dipping is the way my grandsons prefer to eat it.

Nancy, Siggy, Ditto and Nancylanders: It's certainly GREAT to have the newsletter back, but computers are strange machines that require attention periodically. I want to thank Kathleen, Hudson Valley and
Jeanlock in McLean, VA for their postings regarding my question about my rice cooker that spews liquid all over during the cooking process. I'll certainly try the trick using paper towels under the lid and if that doesn't work then I'll be looking to purchase a Rival rice cooker. Thanks for your advice - always know I can count on the members of this newsletter to come to the rescue.
Mr. Myron Drinkwater - Lake Forest, CA


I am looking for a recipe that my daughter said I made a few years ago and my granddaughter liked it, she wants to make it but I don't have the recipe and I don't remember where I got it. It uses the prepared frozen burritos and they are put on rice in a cake pan and baked. I don't know what I put over for a sauce or if there were any other ingredients. Can anyone help with this? Shirley in cold Wisconsin, -12 right now at noon.


Hi Nancy and Furry Friends
Love the news letter. Does anyone have a recipe for deep frying chicken, like the turkeys.
Thanks Kathy from Fl


So sorry for all your trouble with getting the newsletter out. You are such a hard working lady and we all do appreciate your time and effort . I look forward every day to getting the letterl
Thanks again for all your hard work,

I purchased a microwave pressure cooker (suggested by one of the members) and it arrived with absolutely no instructions. Anybody have recipes or instructions on how to adapt to this type of pressure cooker?

For Detz in MI:

My grandmother made Chocolate Gravy. It was something she made When she wanted a sweet breakfast.

Southern Chocolate Gravy
2 Tbs. cocoa
1-1/4 C. sugar
2 Tbs. cornstarch
2 C. milk
1 Tbs. butter
Mix cocoa, sugar and cornstarch in a 2 qt. saucepan. Gradually stir in the milk. Add butter. Cook over medium heat. Stir often as it can scorch easily. Cook until it is thick. Serve over split hot biscuit.

My grandmother has this way of using any left over biscuit. She would split them, spread with butter and put in a baking dish. She then sprinkled them with sugar and poured her homemade chocolate syrup on the biscuit and bake until hot and the sugar had melted. ( So many memories)
Dawn from SWGeorgia


Hello Nancy
I had sent in a recipe for a Creamy Fruit Salad for some one in the November 30 newsletter wanted a fruit salad with no bananas. I haven’t seen it posted yet.

Here it is again;

Creamy Fruit Salad
8 ounces cream cheese
8 ounces cool whip
1/2 cup sugar
1 can mandarin oranges, drained
1 can fruit cocktail, drained

1 small bag colored marshmallows
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 can crushed pineapple, drained
1 jar maraschino cherries, drained

In a large bowl, blend milk, cream cheese and cool whip until fluffy. Add sugar, blend well. Fold in drained fruits with large spoon. Add marshmallows. When mixed well, refrigerate 8 to 12 hours before serving.

Just wanted to mention what happened here regarding the AngelFood Pineapple Cake. I have been making it and many variations since the recipes were published before the holidays. Still like the Pineapple one the best.

Well, accidentally (at a different store than usual) picked up the two-step cake mix. Didn't even know they made it anymore. Had everything ready to go when I noticed. So I mixed both packages together totally disregarding the directions about beating the egg white package for five minutes, stirred in the pineapple really well and baked in a 9x13 pan. The cake did not rise but didn't expect it to. Since only my DH eats it, figured it would be ok. Turns out to be very good - more like a cookie bar than cake but very tasty. So don't despair if you make a mistake -- you can usually save it some way. And I may do this again someday. Can't stand to waste!

For Gay in L.I. ....... In the Feb 1st newsletter you asked about my having 3 "Fuller Brushes." That was an error in the newsletter. I said I have 3 " Swivel Sweeper(TM)" that I purchased off the TV for $19.99 and if you buy one you get one free. They get you for $28.99 shipping and handling though. They also sell them at "Linens and Things" and "Bed, Bath and Beyond." I don't know who wrote about the "Fuller Brushes" but maybe I can find out for you if I search the newsletters I have saved. I think the "Swivel Sweeper" is the best thing since popcorn. If you search for it on the internet you can read all about it.

This error was made when Nancy was having computer problems. I hope everything is working "okay" for you now Nancy. I know how frustrating it is. Sometimes I would just like to toss mine out of the window.
Donna in Colorado


Hi Nancy. Hope you are back to feeling well and also hope that your computer is also doing well.
This is for Dixie in Alabama re: rice cooker recipes:

Paella Valenciana-Panasonic: Sauté 1-1/2 large diced chickens in the rice cooker with olive oil until brown, remove. Sauté 1/2 each diced red, green and yellow bell peppers, 1 small diced onion, 6 T minced garlic and 1/2 bunch of finely chopped scallions. Add 1/4 bl rice, UB (whatever that is) rice and coat well. Add 1 gram of saffron in 1/2 bl rich chicken/seafood stock with 1 1/2 bay leaves, bring to first boil, put chicken in, cover and cook for 20 minutes. Put 10 cherrystone clams and 2 lbs. mussels in. continue cooking until rice cooker is off, add 1/2 pint green olives, 1 lb. diced chorizo and 1/2 small can of garbanzo beans and let stand 20 minutes.

Dixie, I have a very small cookbook which I compiled after I bought my rice cooker. I absolutely love the cooker. You start the ingredients and then walk away, just like a crockpot. You can cook anything in it which would normally be sautéed, simmered and steamed. Enjoy.
Hudson Valley Kathleen

Comment
The site (Daily Recipe Exchange) is trashed. When the server did an update it trashed the site. I am unable to update the entire site to get it working again because they can't get the server extensions set right. I can load a new page. I can get upset about it but it won't do any good. It will take hundreds of hours to get the site back online as it was. Felt many of you would enjoy continuing getting the newsletter as that task if being done.

Hi Nancy,
My husband and I are new empty nesters, so I just recently bought a new smaller crockpot - a 3-qt. Hamilton Beach one, from Wal-Mart. It was only $15.00! I've cooked three meals in it, and so far it hasn't burned anything, like so many of the new crockpots do! I've made spaghetti sauce with meatballs (frozen meatballs from Sam's, cover with your favorite spaghetti sauce. I cooked 8 hours on low and it was fine), beef tips in gravy (just broke apart & dumped in frozen stew meat, poured 1 jar of Heinz mushroom gravy over & let cook on high for 4-5 hours. About an hour before serving, I added 1 can sliced mushrooms, salt & pepper to taste & about 1-2 Tblsp Worcestershire sauce. Served over egg noodles - yum!), and a low-carb crockpot meatloaf. I'm making chili tomorrow.

My favorite trick, because I work 9 hours and don't want it to overcook, is to (1) put everything in the crock the night before & refrigerate, then (2) use a timer - the kind that you use to turn lights on & off when you're on vacation - to start the crockpot cooking about 10:00 a.m. or so. I feel like between the crock being refrigerated overnight, and then cooked, the food is safe.

I'm still keeping my 7-qt crockpot for when we have guests, but it's just too big for the two of us.

I'm especially looking for low-carb crockpot recipes; if anyone has any, I'd love to get them.

Nancy in Houston

Comment
Most of the site has been trashed by an update of the server. Someday after hundreds of hours of work that section will working again. Anything using the database for recipes is gone. If a recipe has "recipe_data.asp" in the link can not be accessed.  Some recipes work if the link does not include "recipe_data.asp" in the recipe the recipe is still online.
Nancy


For Don from MI asking about the saffron and Spanish section in the February 1 Newsletter.

There is a Wal-Mart in Bay City and this is the address and phone number. They may have a section of plastic bagged spices and they might have it. Good Luck.

Wal-Mart Store http://maps.Google.com
3921 Wilder Road, Bay City, 48706 - (989) 684-0430

Nancy, thank you, again, for all the time, effort and yes, pain for all you provide for us. A Loyal Fan!

Hi there,
My Grandma used to make a Tomato Butter with tomatoes from her garden. We can not find her recipe any where. Would any one have a old recipe for making Tomato Butter. It was a consistency like Apple Butter but it was Tomato Butter instead. Grandma was making it way back in the 1950's so we know the recipe is old.
Thank you, Renata


To Fran in Fl out of NY.
I have used Black & Decker Toaster Ovens for at least 15 yrs.
My experience is that they automatically preheat the oven by using both top and bottom burners. If you wait 5 to 10 minutes before putting your food in the oven it will not burn on top.
Vera in FL out of NY


For Trisha R.
La Madeleine's Tomato Basil Soup

Hi Nancy, and babies, glad to see you back in business, these computers can be a headache when the want to be.

This is for Detz in Mi, in the Feb. 1 newsletter about Chocolate Gravy. It is similar to a white milk gravy only it is made with cocoa. My grandmother made it every morning and kept it on the table in a crock bowl. It is good on homemade biscuits. It is also good on pancakes or toast. It is also good cold because that was how I got mine, a cold biscuit and gravy after school, and it was worth ridding my bicycle for a mile to get it. This is the recipe, hope you enjoy it as much as I did as a child.

Chocolate Gravy
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup cocoa
2 Tbsp flour
2 1/4 cups milk
1 tsp vanilla

Mix dry ingredients together. Add milk gradually. Stir to mix. Place over low heat and cook until thickens, stirring so it want stick to the pan or skillet.

Here is another recipe both are good

Chocolate Gravy
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 Tbsp. cocoa
4 Tbsp. flour
1 stick butter (I use Parkay)
3 cups milk

Mix cocoa, flour, and sugar in bowl and set aside. Melt butter or parkway in large frying pan, and stir
in cocoa, flour, and sugar stirring over low heat until smooth. Gradually add milk. Cook until thick.
Serve over hot biscuits. hummm good

C.J. from NE Arkansas
Hope you enjoy this Detz as much as I did. Now I am going to have to make me some.


Nancy I have sent in a lot of recipes but have never told you thank you. This is the highlight of my day. I read all my email and save the best for last. I know you have to put a lot of work in to this newsletter. Have at anytime any place wrote about your self? If so where and when I would love to hear all about such a lovely woman. Now here is the recipe for the Chocolate Gravy if you have not had this you have not lived. When I was a child about the ages for 10 to when I got married. There was a friend of my Mom's a Mexico lady. That made this for us and her children and it is heavenlyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

CHOCOLATE GRAVY
1 cup sugar ( that is what she used I only use 1/2 cup)
1 Tablespoons cocoa
2 Tablespoons flour
2 cups milk (I use 1 cup can cream and 1 cup water)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 Tablespoon butter

Stir sugar, flour, and cocoa together in a sauce pan, adding the milk and using a wisp to make sure all dry ingredients are melted and not lumpy. Over medium heat stir with the wisp until thicken to desired consistency. Remove from heat, add the butter and vanilla. This is great over hot biscuits this is a chocolate lovers breakfast and kids love it.

Hi Nancy, I saw a recipe for Fried Chicken in pressure cooker, a few days back. Does anyone recall where that is? I would really like to try that but somehow missed printing it out. Thank you so much Nancy for the terrific job you do with this news letter. Bless you for your efforts. Hi to all of the wonderful cooks, guys and gals. You are a wonderful bunch. Keep up the good work.
Evelyn S. Texas Hill Country.


To Barbara in SE Texas. This is my third Black and Decker Toaster oven. I wore the other two out with constant use. This one works totally different. The top and bottom elements come on to regulate the temp. The top element should only come on to broil, not to maintain temp, consequently things burn. I miss using it. It is only my husband and I now, all six kids are married. This was very handy for the two of us.

Sorry Nancy for responding twice to the same thing, Didn't see this one until later. Thanks for all you do for us. Fran in FL out of NY


Nancy, Has something changed that low carb is ok? I am diabetic I went on a low carb diet and within a few weeks my heart went bonkers. My Dr said never do that it is the most unsafe diet there is to be on. Has something now made it safe? I will not do that to my body again.
Mary Ann


Nancy, the recipe for the perfect pork chop was to die for in your Janruary 16 newsletter. It will be a keeper for me. appreciate all you do for us.
Mary, Green Brook, NJ


Hi Nancy, for Dee in N. Ca Jan 30 newsletter
I start linguini cooking, then in a sauce pan pour 1 jar of alfredo sauce, warm on low, then add defrosted tiger shrimp and simmer on low until pasta is cooked. Mix and enjoy with crusty Texas Toast and green salad.

Margaret, Tulsa

Dee might also sauté shrimp in butter, onion, garlic, alone or with scallops.


Mary Jo, your information on the E. Pressure Cooker, was perfect and I do appreciate it!! Can't wait to get one, and to be safe, I will probably buy the 8 qt. one.
Thanks for all your help. SUE


Sue in Eastland, Tx (January 28th newsletter) wanted a carrot recipe. I took a French cooking class years ago and this recipe from that course is the only one I still make on a regular basis. Garlic and dill are my two favorite spices and this recipe uses both.

Good morning Nancy!
The following recipes are in response to a request in the January 28th newsletter from Martie in Oregon, who wanted some recipes using dried cranberries. I love cranberries and have lots of recipes using them. Most, however are for fresh or frozen cranberries. Here are some recipes using dried cranberries. Some are TNT, others I haven’t had a chance to try yet. Martie, you should be able to use your cranberries using any of these recipes.
Atlanta Pat.
