Nancy I have a question for Kim in Streetman TX in the 12/4 newsletter. Your recipe sounds good but how many people does it serve? I would think that I could make it in an 8" square or 9" square pan for just 2 people. I did notice that you said that it was not good the next day.

Everyone have a great day. Nancy and 4 legged associates take care.
Susie Indy


Hi Nancy et al! Regarding Dee's "soft" fudge - Dec. 3 newsletter - perhaps using cream cheese (package of Philadelphia or whatever brand) was too much of an addition. I think the recipe calls for Cream Cheese Frosting (icing).
Corinne Murrieta, CA


Love your newsletter--can't wait to try the fudge. I am looking for a bread pudding mix from Chances in York, Ne. I think they used leftover sweet rolls. It is to die for, and I don't even like bread pudding.
Someone was looking for a fruit salad recipe. this is what I use:

Fruit Salad
1 sm pkg any red Jell-O, any fresh fruit cut into bite sized pieces (strawberries, grapes, apples oranges, Very nonripe bananas, and anything else you want). 2 Kiwis--must add these it keeps the Jell-O from congealing and just gives you this nice red sauce. Great to make a big huge bowl and it keeps in the frig several days

Hi Karen in Tx. I bought 4 of the solar power car fans for Christmas gifts. I just had to open one to see if it really works. I took it to a sunny window and LaDeDa!!!! It started right up. I can see that it would keep the air in the car circulating. So I will have some "cool Kids" this summer.
Barb in De.


For Sue in WA 12-4-06 Newsletter
Where did you find the 8"x 8" Silicone pan? I can only find 9" X 9" and it makes the fudge too thin.
I would appreciate it if you could tell me where you got it. Thank You.
Joanna in PA


This is in response to Doris S Indiana in Dec. 1st newsletter, regarding her black walnut tree. We have them in our back yard, been there for years and years, I'm 62 and they have been there since I was a kid. I only remember one year, just a few years back, we had a very hot and very dry summer. That year we had no nuts on the tree, they just dried up or something. However, it has never happened again, they produce every year, so I think your tree (s) should be okay. The squirrels are enjoying ours.
Hope this helps. Eileen from WNY



Hi Nancy, Thanks to Sue in WA (Dec. 4 newsletter) for advice on storing the fudge.
To Marcia in Mt.Airy, Dec. 4 newsletter

Regarding the stuffed celery idea: I make a blue cheese dip that would be good for this purpose. Take a container of whipped cream Cheese add some crumbled blue cheese, a minced garlic clove and mix well.

A in Al (Dec 4th newsletter) requested my olive oil spice mix for bread dipping. I don't remember where I got this, it may even have been from this newsletter. I make up a double or triple batch and keep it in a jar for sprinkling on good olive oil in a shallow dish.

For Marcia in Mt. Airy (December 4 Newsletter) who wanted a recipe for Red Lobster Biscuits. I have found several copycat recipes on the internet over the years. I didn't jot down where these came from other than "copycat sites". I admit I haven't tried them because I was afraid I would eat them.
Anyway, here are a couple and I have more if needed.

Red Lobster Cheese Biscuits Copycat/Clone Recipe
2 cups Self-rising flour
1/4 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon Dry ground mustard
1 cup Grated sharp cheddar cheese
7 Tblsp Butter flavor Crisco
1 cup Milk
Melted butter
Garlic powder

Mix flour, cayenne and mustard in a large bowl. Cut in shortening and fold in cheese. Add enough milk to make a batter stiff enough to drop. Drop biscuits on greased cookie sheet. Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder or salt. Bake at 450 for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown. Grease the cookie sheet very heavily with the butter flavored shortening (Crisco) for the crispy bottoms they get at Red Lobster.

and one using Bisquick:

Red Lobster Cheese Biscuits Copycat/Clone Recipe
2 cups Bisquick
2/3 cup milk
1/2 cup shredded cheese
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/4 tsp garlic powder

Heat oven to 450 degrees. Mix baking mix, milk and cheese until soft dough forms; beat vigorously for 30 seconds. Drop dough by spoonfuls onto an ungreased cooking sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.

Mix butter and garlic powder. Brush mixture over warm biscuits before removing from cookie sheet. Serve warm. Makes 12.
Good Luck!
Barbara/Alabama


For Amy in Ft. Wayne, regarding celery stuffing. I got this recipe from a friend of mine and my family
just loves it better than peanut butter.

Celery Stuffing
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded finely
1/2 tsp garlic salt
pepper to taste
1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Enough mayo to make spreading consistency

Mix together and spread on celery that has been washed and dried.
Enjoy ! Linda, Ft.Collins, Co.

Just about everyone likes recipes with chocolate in them.
Here is an old Southern treat from Alabama.

Chocolate Dumplings
1 cup corn syrup
1/2cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
6 cups cornflakes
1-1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
1 package chocolate chips

Heat corn syrup and both sugars to a slight boil. Add peanut butter and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and add corn flakes, mix until cornflakes are well covered. Spread in large cake pan. In double boiler melt chocolate and spread over entire cornflake mixture.
Let stand and serve. Good either hot or cold.

Hope y'all enjoy them! Big Jim, Jacksonville, Florida


Doris in Oklahoma City: Your mention of the Nancy Drew books certainly brought back memories. Books weren't very easy to come by in the depression, but somehow I always seemed able to borrow a new Nancy Drew book. One fact I found personally interesting--In the early 50's I was working at the old Navy Annex in Washington DC, and one day as a friend and I were walking past a door, she pointed it out and said that the man who worked there, Walter Karig, was an author of Nancy Drew mysteries. Your note tickled my curiosity enough to get me to check the 'net. I found the following links that would be of interest to ANYone who has read and loved those books. Yes, I know, this isn't 'cooking', but I did think it interesting. Jeanlock in McLean VA.

Hi, Nancy, furbabies and nancylanders,
I have a request. I hope some of the great cooks out there can quickly come to my aid. I have a recipe for a cookie that my family has passed down for generations and we make it every year at Christmas. My problem is that quite a few of the family now has diabetes. I would dearly love to make the cookies but make them so the family members that are diabetic can once again enjoy these. I would really appreciate any and all help for converting the recipe in time to make them by Christmas.
The recipe is as follows:

Soft Jumbles
2/3 cup Butter or margarine
1-1/2 cup Sugar
1 tsp Baking soda
3 eggs
3 cups Flour all purpose
1 cup Sour milk or 1/2 cup sweet milk
1 tsp Vanilla
1/2 -1 cup Raisins choc. bits, etc.
- when you use sour milk mix the baking soda with it and set aside for a couple of minutes before mixing in with the rest of the ingredients.

Cream butter and sugar together. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well. If using sweet milk sift baking soda and flour together and add to creamed mixture. If using sour milk add the sour milk and baking soda mixture to the creamed mixture. Add raisins or chocolate bits, etc and mix well. Drop by spoonfuls
onto greased cookie sheet or onto wax paper or silpat. Bake at 350 F until brown around the edges, approx. 12- 15 minutes.
Thanks again, Mary in CT


Here is a recipe for Bread Pudding that I got right off of the Olive Garden website for Linda in Kansas. It says you can drizzle a caramel sauce over it but I didn't see a recipe for that.

Hi, Nancy!
Thanks for this great newsletter.

We have an older friend who says he remembers his mother making lemonade by boiling the ingredients. We've never heard of such a thing. It seems like it would make the lemonade bitter. If anyone has this a recipe like this, would you please share it with me so I can pass it on to him?

M. in Montana (12/1) requested jar mixes. This is my favorite hot chocolate mix. Hope it's what she's looking for. (I'll try to send in a mix recipe every other day or so....)

Fudgy Hot Chocolate Mix
3 c. confectioner's sugar
4 c. non-dairy coffee creamer (I use plain, but flavored would be wonderful too)
4 c. powdered milk
4 c. Nestle's Quik
1 (4 serving size) pkg. instant pudding mix, Devil's Food flavor
Combine all ingredients in a large container (a roaster works well) and stir well to combine. Spoon into glass jars, seal and label. Or store mix in an airtight container at room temperature. To use, combine 3 heaping spoonfuls to a cup of hot water (we use good sized cups.)

Also, Bonyfingers in WI (12/3) was wondering if she could do any prep work for scalloped potatoes ahead of time. Sliced potatoes can be stored, covered with water and refrigerated, for two or three days before using. Any longer than that, the water seems to "ferment." I do this all the time. Hope this helps!

Hope everybody has a great week!

Hi Nancy. Here’s a different lime jello recipe that is light and a butternut squash recipe.

Frosted Mint Mold - (I serve it after a meal)
1 -20 ounce can crushed pineapple, in its own juice (drain and save all juice)
1 large or two small lime Jello (sugar free is fine)
6 ounces mint jelly (plain mint jelly which is dark green if you haven’t used it)
1 -8 ounce cream cheese (1/3 less fat is fine)

To the drained pineapple juice, add enough water to make two and one half cups. Put in pan and heat to boiling. Remove from heat and dissolve jello in the juice. Melt jelly in a separate pan or microwave and add to jello mix. Cool in fridge until nearly set. Beat with rotary beater or mixer on lowest speed. Cut cream cheese in small cubes and fold it and pineapple into the jello and jelly mix. Continue beating until well mixed. Put in mold or dish or dessert dishes and let set in fridge until firm.

Also, I had a big laugh reading about the friend who swore he wouldn’t eat butternut squash while munching away on some made into fries. I also expounded at length about not liking winter squash; however, I was served some roasted recently. It was very good and I’ve since bought and roasted some. Here’s how:
Butternut Squash - peel and cube the flesh in about one inch cubes. Heat oven to 375 degrees.

Place cubes in a plastic gallon zipper bag. Pour in a few tablespoons of olive oil and a teaspoon of granulated garlic (you can use fresh but I can’t give portions) and about a teaspoon of salt and some black pepper. Mix well and be sure the squash is coated with the oil and seasoning. Pour onto a baking sheet with low sides in a single layer (a large squash may need two pans). Roast about an hour until tender and lightly browned and slightly dry looking, turning a couple times with a spatula so they don’t stick to pan. Baking time may be more or less depending on how much squash is on pan.

The vegetables shrink as they roast so a cookie sheet full may feed 4-5.

I also roast other root vegetables the same way. Use onions quartered, potatoes peeled or not, peeled sweet potatoes and mini carrots, celery all cut in same size cubes. In warmer weather yellow or zucchini squash can be used and whole tender green beans. Tomatoes do not work well with the vegetables because of the juice.
Darlene in Wild, Wonderful WV


for Dee in S Illinois and Linda in AL thanks for the low fat and sugar free eggnog recipes. I had seen one a long time ago and couldn't find the recipe. I also have made a cheaper version of eggnog or extended it by purchasing half a gallon of milk (I use either skim or lowfat , one half gallon of regular eggnog and a package of Egg Nox Powdered mix, mix all in a gallon pitcher or milk jug and shake like crazy. Tastes great but lower calories and extends the more expensive eggnog.
Sharon in TN


12/5 newsletter - for Somer in eastern Tennessee, I always make a fruit salad using chopped apples, oranges, tangerines, bananas, marshmallows and sugar to taste ( the amounts of fruit depend on how much you are making). I do not used salad dressing or miracle whip. Sometime, I will add coconut but not always.

For Betty in Tyler, thanks for the tip to Shirley in Tyler, TX about where to find cherry chips. Will try to pick some up this week.

Nancy, thanks for all of your hard work (wish you were still in Lubbock so I could visit you & your furry pals. My youngest & his wife are attending Texas Tech & I go out quite often).

The glad holiday helper, it's printable....Lynette in N.Y.
http://www.glad.com/pdf/glad_holiday_helper.pdf


I make this same recipe, but lately instead of using the cottege cheese, I've been using ricotta cheese. Janet

Hamburger Cheese Bake
1 lb. ground beef
1 med. onion, chopped
2-8 oz. cans tomato sauce
1 t. sugar
salt and pepper to taste
4 c. cooked noodles (I'm thinking Mother used a wider noodle-not macaroni-your choice I guess)
1 c. cottage cheese
1 c. sour cream
1/3 c. chopped green onion
1/4 c. chopped green pepper
1/4 c. Parmesan cheese

Brown meat and onion. Add tomato sauce, sugar, salt and pepper. Cook noodles Mix sour cream, cottage cheese, green onion and bell pepper and Parmesan cheese. Alternate meat and noodles in a sprayed baking dish (not sure of size 9x 13 maybe?) Top with cheese mix and bake in a 350 degree oven for 35-45 minutes.



Hi All,
For Shirley in Tyler Texas, for several years we made meatball sandwiches for Father's Day brunch by putting the meatballs in a pot and covering with canned spaghetti sauce. Heat and serve on French rolls with or without grated cheese. The guys and youth especially like them.

I have a very easy recipe using eggnog that is great at Christmas time. TNT many times. Hope you like as much as we do.

Eggnog Salad
1 6-oz pkg. lime Jell-O
1 cup very hot water (I use boiling water)
3 cups eggnog.
Dissolve the lime Jell-O in the hot water. Let cool on counter but don't let set. Stir in the 3 cups eggnog. Pour into mold. Refrigerate.

Carolyn in Los Banos


This is for Andee in Los Angeles, regarding the 14 layer cake with the chocolate icing. is that 2 cans or cups of evaporated milk? Thanks a bunch..
God Bless, GLORIA FARRIS


This is for Shirley from Texas, didn't think anyone has sent this suggestion in about the frozen meatballs. I had some once and wanted to do something different. I made a soup with them. Bake them first to get the extra grease out, in your stockpot add a variety of vegetables, add tomato juice,
tomatoes or both, different herbs (Italian seasoning, etc., however you want the soup to go), and add meatballs. About the last 1/2 hour add penne pasta. I think I added spinach to mine and it was like a Italian soup, very different but family loved it.
Jenny in Ky.


Good morning Nancy!
This is for Barbara/Alabama who was asking for the white cheese they (Mexican Restaurants) use for dips with chips. Below is the recipe. Also, if she would look closely in her grocery store in the aisle with the chips she will find a jar of the queso blanco! It's called Monterrey Jack Dip. We love it! Stay warm everyone!
Queso Blanco Dip (White Cheese Dip)

This is the hard-to-find dip that is served in many Mexican restaurants.
from http://www.ortega.com

Queso Blanco Dip (White Cheese Dip)
1 cup cheese (Monterey jack, Asadero or Chihuahua), finely shredded
4 ounces green chiles
1/4 cup half-and-half
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 serrano or jalapeno pepper, finely chopped (optional)
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Put all ingredients in a double boiler and cook over medium or medium-low heat until melted and well blended, stirring occasionally. Serve with fresh tostadas or hot flour tortillas.
Chris in NM


This is for Barbara in Alabama who wants to know what kind of white cheese they use in the Mexican restaurants to make the white cheese dip Barbara, they use yellow cheese in the restaurants here but if I were to venture a guess I would think it is Queso Fresco but give me a day or two and I will try to find out for you and will post the info on this newsletter, okay? We have to keep those Grandkids happy don't we? I just made cookies for mine this afternoon. Love doing things that make them smile.
Happy Holidays
Barbara in Corsicana,Texas


We got this recipe from the Food Network, The twelve Days of cookies. This Almond Shortbread is great. Our Friend baked a batch.

She substituted Almond Paste for Crushed almonds. The baking time was listed as 1 hour 10 min but we found that it was done in about 45 or 50 min.
It is simple and great!

Almond Shortbreads
1/2 cup raw almonds with skins, plus about 18 whole almonds for decorating
2/3 cup sugar, plus more for top
14 tablespoons unsalted butter (7 ounces, 1 3/4 sticks), softened, cut into pieces
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg white, beaten

Special equipment: 9-inch tart fluted pan with a removable bottom

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Blend and pulse the 1/2 cup nuts in a food processor with the sugar until mixture resembles coarse sand. (If there are a couple small chunks of nuts that is fine.) Add the butter, vanilla and almond extracts, and the salt, and pulse until creamy. Add the flour and continue to pulse to make a soft dough.

Turn the dough out into a 9-inch tart pan and spread it out evenly with an off-set spatula. Dip the spatula in a little warm water to help smooth and even the surface of the shortbread. Cover and freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.

Put the tart pan on a baking sheet and dock (prick) the dough all over with a fork. Generously sprinkle the top of the shortbread with sugar. Toss the remaining whole almonds in the egg white; evenly arrange and press the nuts into the dough around the edge of the pan. Bake until golden brown and set, about 1 hour and 10 minutes.

Cool the short bread in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes. Carefully remove the tart ring and cut the shortbread with a sharp knife into wedges, each with a nut. Cool shortbreads on a rack completely. (Alternatively present the shortbread as 1 large cookie. Cool the shortbread in the pan completely and remove the tart ring. Cut the shortbread into wedges as desired.)

Serve. Store in a tightly sealed container for up to 5 days.

Nancy, just wanted to send praise along to Tona in Bama for her Spiced Pumpkin Fudge. Friend in Sunday School Class was wishing she could find recipe like what she had eaten (from a gift shop). I took her Tona’s recipe and now she reports that is what she ate (just like it).

For Karen in Texas, a local news station did a report on the Solar Power car cooler, and reported they were a waste of good money as they only cooled the car by about 2 degreese, Romona in Modesto, CA


For Karen in Texas wondering if the solar power auto cooler works. Here is a link for an Atlanta tv station that tests all these "as seen on tv" products. Very interesting! They gave this 2 thumbs down. Hope this helps! Lindsey in the U.P. http://www.wgrz.com/money/consumer/


In reply to Karen in Tx in latest Newsletter (Dec 4, 2006). The TV station in Phoenix AZ evaluated one of these solar powered Cooler. Their results were that they did not work well in our Extreme Climate. This may be different where a high temp is in the 90’s, not the 110 degree range as in Phoenix, AZ.
Siggy’s and Ditto’s Uncle.


To Karen in Texas in the Dec. 4 newsletter on the solar auto cooler. Personally, I haven't tried the thing. I was going to get one since it gets really hot here in Oklahoma, but one of the newspeople in OKC did a story on it and it didn't work. Her car was still 120* when she went to get in it and the fan was working! So that was one "as seen on TV" that didn't get part of my retirement check!
Jae, central OK
