4 c. chopped rhubarb
1 c. sugar
1 pt. whipping cream

Does anyone have a recipe for tippy pudding?

This is a message for Betty T in Chico, Ca. She mentioned in the newsletter, dated 1/28/07, that she worked for Woolworths in the 60's. Betty do you possibly have their recipe for a salad that I believe the base of it was cabbage, it had thawed frozen peas in it and I don't remember what else. It had a dressing on it. My aunt used to work there and she gave me the recipe but I have lost it years ago and I would love to have that recipe. Back in the 60's I was only making 2.32 an hour and on paydays which was twice a month I splurged and got that salad for my lunch. My mouth has been watering for it ever since. I would appreciate the recipe if you know of it.
Linda in Grass Valley

For Marilyn in Oh, I went to Lancaster area last year. There are many good places to eat like Good and Plenty, but my favorite was in a little town outside Lancaster, I think the name was Christiana. We went to a small Dinner theater type production. The food was good and the show was called The Amish Wedding. It was very enjoyable. We laughed a lot.

However you have many wonderful Amish restaurants there in Holmes County Ohio & I preferred their bulk foods places (Ashery`s) to any I visited in Pa.
Anne in Fl


This is for Marilyn in Oh who wants to know where to eat in Lancaster, Pa. We love Dienner's (sp) in Ronks. It is next to a place called The Outhouse. It is nothing fancy but boy is it good. They have a small buffet full of Amish and Mennonite homecooking. They stop letting folks in about 6p. The breakfast is good too.
Susan in De


Hi Nancy, Susie Indy sent in recipes for triple chocolate cakes that are very much like the triple chocolate brownie recipe I have made several times. She wanted to see others' variations of her recipe, so here goes:

Triple Chocolate Brownies
Chocolate cake mix ( I have used any brand on sale)
Sm. box instant chocolate pudding mix
2 cups milk
1 reg. size bag chocolate chips ( 10 or 12 oz)

Make pudding with the 2 cups milk. Stir to dissolve and beginning to thicken. Pour in dry cake mix. Stir well. Batter will be thick. Spread in greased jelly roll pan (15 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 1 inch), sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Let cool. Cut into squares. Yum ( I have used sugar free pudding mixes and skim milk for this recipe and it works just fine)

Hope everyone is beginning to enjoy Spring weather. Snow is finally gone here. Am up to my eyeballs with wedding projects for our daughter's wedding next month, which has really been a lot of fun. She is 34 years old and her husband to be is 35. This is the first marriage for both. They have known each other for 9 years and only began "dating" a year and a half ago. I mention this because others may be wondering when there "older" children will meet the right one, if ever. Don't give up hope. You never know when the love bug will bite you!!

Take care, Nancy. You are the best!!

DEAR NANCY
I would like to have some dog food recipes. This dog food recall has me scared. I love my Jacob and want to keep him well. Thank you and your furbabys so much for this newsletter.
Alice


Nancy
I too appreciate all your hard work. A lady said you were one of our Angels and I too feel that way. So often I get ideas for something new and your site always helps. There is a sight that also is one of my favorites (besides yours of course) it is called
www.fooddownunder.com
it has about everything you can imagine. The recipes are from all over the world. If you need it they probably have it in multiples.

Hi Nancy, Teresa's comments about canning in the March 22-23 newsletter were excellent and couldn't have been explained better!! I encourage everyone canning this summer to reread her note and follow her suggestions. I worked in a County Extension office and am a Master Food Preserver and I too worry about people canning the way our mothers and grandmothers did. Thanks, Teresa, for helping to get the word out!

Jan, in the hill country of Texas, where the bluebonnets are starting to peek out of the ground!!


This is for Marilyn in Ohio. I was born and raised in Lancaster Co., PA. I moved to TX with my husband about 3-1/2 yrs. ago, but would like to move back home one day. There are some Amish people that actually have people "over" for a real Amish dinner, but I do not know of any myself. Something that everyone enjoys is going to a smorgasbord restaurant. There are 2 that are quite good: Shady Maple & Miller's. You can find them online with Google. They have a sit down family style service and good PA Dutch food. You are going at the prettiest time of year up there! Oh, you need to visit the farmer's markets. My parents actually have a food stand at one of them. Lancaster Central Market is the oldest, dating back to the 1800's, Green Dragon is in Ephrata, Root's is in Manheim. There are many more you can find online. These are the one's my parents had food stands at. You can find bulk food @ the farmer's markets or in my hometown of Mount Joy there is a wonderful store started by one of my childhood friend's parents when we were little called The Country Store. All kinds of great bulk items. Have a great time! If you see the Nye name they are probably related to me as I am the youngest of 9!

Nancy, sorry so long, Thanks for everything! I have gotten some wonderful recipes from all of your hard work and the wonderful people who send them in!
Becky in TX


Thanks to Teresa from Missouri for commenting on the canning times and techniques being shared. I also worked for Extension service for several years and really believe that some of the old canning techniques can be dangerous. When people would tell me "that's they way we've done it for years and no one has gotten sick", I would often reply that I wouldn't want to be the cause if anyone ever got sick. We don't use the same medical or scientific techniques or many kinds of technology that people used 50 years ago -- so maybe it's time for that update in canning processes, too.

Following USDA requirements is really important -- using pressure canner for meats and vegetables, etc, processing tomato products, etc. Contact your local Extension Service for lots of resources.
Robin R


Nancy, I just wanted to tell you that I love the no popunder. It's so much faster to get to be able to read the newsletter now. I didn't have a problem getting to the newsletter just had to wait for the annoying popunder to load so I could close it out and get to read the newsletter. Thank you, I love this newsletter and appreciate all your hard work.

Just wanted to chime in with my two-cents-worth about the vacuum sealers. My first sealer was a Rival Seal-a-Meal, very basic and worked great. However, I decided I wanted to upgrade so I bought a Food Saver on sale at Kohl's, and I didn't like it at all, not even the bags. It got returned. Then I purchased a Rival VS120 Seal-a-Meal, paid less than $100, and have been very happy with it. It works great with fresh strawberries. It vacuums enough that the bag conforms to the shape of the berries but doesn't crush them. I have never been able to find out how long the berries will stay fresh in the bag. They always get eaten in about 24 hours (if they last that long)!
Donna in NW GA


I am looking for a recipe for "Sweet Tomato Chili Sauce". I don't want one the has green peppers in it. The one my husband's grandmother uses had tomatoes, onions, a couple of red peppers, cinnamon, cloves, salt, sugar and vinegar. I just don't know the amounts.
Thanks for all the help.

This is for Zelda who was inquiring about a little restaurant here in Corsicana with a soda fountain.

Zelda, the place originally was called Hashop's then a man named Dee bought it (not Deb) and it stayed Dee's Place until fairly recently when a young man purchased it and now it is called Caleb's Diner. It still has the soda fountain and serves some nice sandwiches and has breakfast also. I do hope this will answer your question. By the way, it is located at 125 North Beaton, which is our main downtown street with lots of antique shops, etc.

Hope you will visit our fair little city often and find each experience a pleasant one.
Barbara in Corsicana


Hello all! Just now catching up on newsletters again and noticed that Gloria, Indiana ask for the Triple Chocolate Cake recipe. Gloria this is for you.

Triple Chocolate Cake Recipe
1 chocolate cake mix(with or without pudding)
1 package Instant pudding mix
4 eggs
1/4 cup cooking oil
1 /4 cups water
8 to 12 oz. chocolate chips.
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Put dry ingredients in bowl. Add water and oil, stir or beat until incorporated. Add eggs and beat for 2 minutes on low speed. Add chips and nuts. Bake in oiled and floured bundt pan for 40 to 45 minutes or until done. Oven temperature is 350 degrees.

I either use a glaze made from powdered sugar and milk or cream cheese icing if I want it to be really rich.
Hope this turns out good for you loria and that you enjoy it.
Rachael, Arkansas


Hello everyone,
I am looking for some TNT recipes using white wine. I bought a bottle of white wine and am not happy with the taste. I don’t want to dump it out if I can use it for cooking.
Thank You for the help, Angie in Ohio


Hi Nancy,
I never had a problem with the popunder, but now that it's gone I am relieved. It must have been a subconscious thing. I have been a reader/contributor since '97; you are the best. Just adopted littermate sisters from our SPCA, we are so excited! Love to the boys.
Jamaica in Virginia


Hi Nancy. I look forward to getting email from your site everyday. I have gotten a lot of recipes to use and share with friends. You had a posting recently with a lady asking for a recipe for Toffee Bars like she had years ago in the school cafeteria. Well, I too had those in Junior High back in 1968 and loved them. She was right in responding about the recipe sent on the 21st. It was more like a cold pudding type dessert with I think as I recall a graham cracker crumb type bottom to it. In my school they called it English Toffee. I have been trying to find something like it for years and haven't had any luck. It can't be that difficult to make! So, if anyone can come up with it, let us know!
Donna in IL.


For Marge in Ohio, March 23 Newsletter, request for Chicken Spread

Walnut Chicken Spread
1 3/4 cups finely chopped, cooked chicken
1 cup finely chopped walnuts
2/3 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
1 celery rib, finely chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Assorted crackers

In a bowl, combine the chicken, walnuts, mayonnaise, celery, onion, salt and garlic powder. Serve with crackers. refrigerate any leftovers. Yield 2 1/2 cups. I think its delicious.
Granny in Dover, Ky


For Mary in CT: It was I who submitted the buttermilk chicken recipe and I, too, rarely buy buttermilk. However, I buy a small quantity (you can buy pints and quarts at some stores), because the buttermilk needs to be the real deal - it needs to be thick for the gravy. I do not believe it would be the same with buttermilk powder (which I also use for other things) or milk "thickened" with vinegar. Hope this answers your question.
Doris in Oklahoma City


Well, we just got back from a trip to Pittsburgh, and I had to check this recipe exchange first thing. We stopped at A LongHorn Restaurant, and got this wonderful appetizer called Shrimp and Lobster Dip. It was a hot dish, served with corn chips. OUT OF THIS WORLD... If anyone would
happen to have a clone recipe for this, my husband and I would love to have it.
Thank you so much.
CindyO


Mary , from Newton Falls, Oh. would you post your recipe for the wine made from jam and jellies along with the instructions?
Thank you in advance, Jenny in Ky


Easter Nests

Hi Nancy and Friends, I need the help of the great cooks in our family. A good friend of mine is having a wedding shower for my daughter, and I am helping her find recipes for fillings for finger sandwiches other than the usual ham, chicken, or egg salad. I told her I was sure we would get some TNT recipes from the great cooks in this family. Thank you in advance for any recipes sent in. The date of the shower is April 14.

Many thanks to you, Nancy, for your tireless devotion to this newsletter.

Happy Spring to one and all!!
Ginny Lee-upstate NY


Nancy, I have no idea why I didn't get Fridays newsletter but I didn't. In 3/22-23 newsletter Bobbi in Central Florida has a friend that wants a recipe that her grandmother made Old Fashioned Vegetable Soup using sauerkraut in it. I hope this is close or what she is looking for, for her friend.

Old Fashioned Vegetable Soup with Sauerkraut
2 tablespoons butter
1 lb. lean beef, cut into 1" pieces
½ lb. lean pork, cut into 1" cubes
2 quarts beef stock, can use water with beef cubes
1, 16 oz., can tomatoes, chopped with liquid
1, 16 oz., can sauerkraut, drained and rinse at least once and drain well again
½ cup onions, finely chopped
1½ cups celery, chopped
1 cup sliced carrots
½ cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons salt or to your taste
¼ teaspoon pepper, to taste
½ teaspoon marjoram
¼ teaspoon thyme
2 teaspoons brown sugar, packed or you can leave it out

In a large kettle, melt butter, brown the beef and pork. Add beef stock, tomatoes and their liquid, drained sauerkraut, onions, celery, carrots, parsley, bay leaf, salt, pepper, marjoram and thyme. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered for 2 hours or until meat is tender. Stir in brown sugar, if using and simmer covered an additional 15 minutes. Makes about 2 quarts. The original recipe didn't drain the sauerkraut but we thought it was too salty.

It would helpful if when people send in for request if they could have some of the ingredients listed in the recipe so the people have some idea if they have the recipe or not.

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


Speaking of triple chocolate cakes, here is a fireman's recipe that we LOVE!

Great Chocolate Cake

3 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
6-12 oz chocolate chips (we use semisweet)

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a
12-cup Bundt pan. Cook pudding according to package directions. Combine cake mix, eggs, sour cream and hot pudding in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Fold in chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, 50-55 minutes. Cool in pan 5 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack. Cool completely.
For Marge in OH:

Tuna Noodle Casserole
2 tsp green peppercorns in vinegar
8 oz fresh fettuccine, or 4 oz dry
6-1/2 oz can tuna, drained
1 lime, quartered
1 or 2 tsp olive oil
4 scallions (green onions) thinly sliced, diagonally
1/2 tsp dried dill
1/4 cup crème fraiche or sour cream

Cook fettuccine according to package directions. Drain and heap into 2 lightly oiled individual casserole dishes. Mound tuna on top of noodles, keeping fish in good-sized chunks. Squirt a lime wedge over each dish. In a frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and sauté quickly. Stir in peppercorns and their vinegar, dill and crème fraiche; blend. Spoon over tuna to cover fish and noodles completely and broil for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown. Serve very hot.


Hi there - this is in response to someone who wanted a recipe for Bran Muffins that keep in the refrigerator for quite some time. This recipe is TNT by myself and many friends for many years:

Bran Muffins
1 - 15 oz. pkg. Raisin Bran
3 Cups Sugar (white or brown or mixed)
5 Cups Flour
5 tsp. Baking Soda
2 tsp. Salt
4 Eggs
1 Cup Corn Oil
1 Quart Buttermilk
Beat eggs, oil & buttermilk together - add to other ingredients that have been mixed together. Dollop into muffin paper cups - Bake @ 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. Keeps in refrigerator for six (6) weeks.
Claire in California


I forgot to mention in my previous note that the Rival VS120 Seal-a-Meal has a special setting for delicate foods. This is why it doesn't crush foods like strawberries.
Donna in NW Georgia


Hot Buttered Rum
1 pound of dark brown sugar
1 cup of softened butter
1 pint of vanilla ice cream
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. allspice
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
cinnamon sticks ( optional )
Rum
In large bowl:
Mix all ingredients EXCEPT rum and cinnamon sticks.
Blend until smooth.
Place this mixture in freezer.

To prepare each drink, put one heaping tablespoon of frozen mixture and 1 1/2 ounce of rum into each mug. Fill mug with boiling water and stir well. Can be served with cinnamon stick if desired. I like a small scoop of French vanilla cool whip on top.

Does your wonderful site have a search feature? I seem to remember there was a way to Google just your site but now I can't find anything about it. I would appreciate any help you can give me, computer dummy that I am.
Debbie Friend

Comment
The search feature is not at the top of the page right now. I am in the process of separating nancys-kitchen.com from nancyskitchen.com. www.nancys-kitchen.com will only have the newsletter and related information in the near future. If you search for something in the newsletter it will only be on nancys-kitchen.com. To keep the confusion down the search feature has been intentionally left off this site until the search engines get reindexed and the information will show on the correct pages.

Hi Everybody, it's so nice to feel Spring in the air...
I made the Mounds Bar candy bars copycat/clone recipe and everyone enjoyed them, now I wonder does anyone have a recipe for Milkyway Candy Bars, I can't find one anywhere. Thanks for your input.
Trish, Fl


Hi Nancy!
Grannym IL sent in a recipe for Amazin' Raisin Cake in the 3/22-3/23 newsletter.

I wanted to know if this could be made in a 9x13 pan instead of the 2 - 9' pans??? This sounds like a recipe my MIL used to make for my husband only hers had chocolate chips either in it or on top... I would love to try and re-create her recipe with grannym's as my hubbys momma died and I never got her recipe. Do you think I could try to add choc. chips to grannym's recipe???

I also copied a couple of recipes this past week for Cannoli, but the recipes were only for the filling, does anyone have a recipe for the shells you fill???

Dee in SIL was asking for a recipe for a Toffee Bar made in the school cafeteria's back in the 70's.... well your in luck, I had a friend who knew someone who worked in the cafeteria when we were in high school and I got the recipe!!! I haven't made them in years, but they are DELICIOUS!!!! Oh what memories!!! lol!!!! Hope this is the one you remember Dee!!!

Toffee Bars
1 1/4 lbs. butter
6 C. flour
3 C. brown sugar
1 t. salt
4 eggs
3 C. choc. chips
3 t. vanilla

Cream butter & sugar together before adding flour.
Bake at 350 for 30 min.

* Sorry thats the only directions on the old recipe card.
I would figure to cream the butter & sugar and then add the eggs and vanilla.

I would think the flour and salt should be combined and then added to the butter/sugar mixture and then add the choc. chips. Didnt say what size pan, but I would think a large cookie sheet? They really are wonderful. Gonna have to make these now as the memory of them is so yummy!!!

P.S. Dee your Spanish Rice Pronto is how my momma used to make hers!!! Yumm!!!

Thanks to everyone for sharing all their GREAT recipes!!!!
Suzie in NW Michigan!
