Part 1 of  today's newsletter

or the lady that asked about the black walnuts, they are a treasure and count yourself lucky/first you have to get the outer shells off we used to spread in the driveway and my Dad would drive the truck over them several times to loosen. Wear plastic or rubber gloves and take the outer shells off. Take care to not get any of the outer shell on your clothing as it stains and cannot be washed off.

Once the outer shells are off, spread out and dry for a few days.
To crack, hold with the sharper end facing up and take a hammer and break-this gets the larger pieces out . You can freeze . Talk about delicious in a black walnut pie using the same recipe for a pecan but substituting the black walnuts. Great in home made cookies and candies too!

For the lady wanting to know how to cook a turkey breast in a crock pot, I do this a lot.
Place turkey breast in crock pot, fill pot about half to two thirds full of water, add some salt. I cook mine overnight or all day. You don't have to cook that long but i do and is great and oh so tender and moist. You will then have a wonderful broth for dressing and gravies. What could be easier. Turns out great every time!

Age wise, I am 57. I have been married 34 years to my wonderful husband , Jack , who is the joy of my life , along with our son Daniel, who just turned 33 a few days ago. We had a Chihuahua for about 16 years and when he died, was like losing part of our family so feel for the ones that lost theirs. You are so right, a part of your life is changed forever. I am a substitute school teacher and the students cant believe i am 57--they tell me I dont act and look it --I tell them they keep me young and on my toes.

Thanks Nancy, for all the wonderful things and to all the Nancylanders for all the wonderful recipes. God bless all of you.

I have a full time job in accounting and am a member of the YMCA. I recently learned to swim and I take water aerobic classes 4 nights a week. What fun it is!!

Dorry in VA


Help! Help. I was one of the people who missed the Easy Fudge made with Chocolate Chips and frosting.. I have searched and searched for it in past newsletters. But have not had any luck in finding it. I'm one of your seniors. At 74, I still love to cook. I love reading recipes that everyone sends in.. The bright spot of the day.. Nancy, you are a marvel.
Thanks for all your hard work..
Jane in Va Beach


For Grace in Alabama, I saw shelled brazil nuts in packages next to the walnuts & pecans at our WalMart in the main aisle with other Christmas baking products. I used to live in Ohio & I know some people would put black walnuts in the driveway and run over them with the car to break off that hard outer shell. They stain your hands terribly so handle them with gloves. I will be 64 on Dec 1. I travel a great deal - trips to Israel, Alaska, Niagara Falls, Pennsylvania & Georgia this year. I just came back from Ohio where we had a big party to celebrate my parents 65th wedding anniversary. This makes it impossible for me to have animals although I love them. My sister has a dog & my son has 3 dogs, 6 cats, birds, fish, naked rats, & a bearded dragon that I can play with.
Thank you, Nancy for this wonderful "family" you have brought together.

Hi everyone!
I have a couple of requests today: (1) My mom and I were getting recipes together over the weekend to have our big pre-Christmas candy-making day during the Thanksgiving weekend. We have already decided to make our traditional Chocolate Covered Peanuts, Butterscotch and Cashew Haystacks, Texas Trash, and a new Divinity recipe. If anyone wants any of these recipes, let me know and I will send them. Does anyone have any t-n-t candy recipes that they would share? In particular, I was thinking about a rum ball recipe and maybe a pecan praline recipe, but any others would also be welcome. (2) My church is having a Christmas Bazaar for the first time this year, at the beginning of December. I would like to have a booth with some crafts, probably homemade candles and maybe some homemade jewelry, and some homemade baked goods and candies. I was also thinking about including some of the jar gifts. I thought there was a link on the website with some of the jar recipes, but of course, now that I want it, I can't seem to find it. Does anyone have any jar recipes that they would share? Any other ideas for easy things that sell good at these types of events would be appreciated.

I haven't yet seen any Chili recipes that I had requested. I was hoping to have several to choose from before I actually got around to making a big pot.

Last week was Boss's Day. One of my co-workers made a big pot of chicken and sausage gumbo for everyone, which was delicious. I brought the Grape Salad, which was, once again, a big hit, and the following very easy, but really good, Chocolate Éclair Dessert, that I thought some of my fellow Nancylanders might enjoy.

Chocolate Éclair Dessert
1 box graham crackers
2 large packages instant vanilla pudding mix
3 cups cold milk
1 12 ounce Cool Whip
1 can chocolate icing (sit can in hot water to soften)

Mix pudding and milk, fold in Cool Whip. Line bottom of 9 1/2 x 13" pan with a layer of graham crackers. Spread 1/2 of the pudding mixture on the graham crackers. Add another layer of graham crackers and spread the remaining pudding mixture. Add a third layer of graham crackers. Top with icing. Place in refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight before serving.

Everyone have a wonderful day!
Vickie in Liberty, Texas

Hello Nancy and all you great cooks out there in Nancyland!
I am responding to the October 27th Newsletter, to Nancy C, Streator, Illinois who was asking about the lemon bar recipe I posted. Yes, you saw the correct recipe! It is so easy and quick. They are great and light. I have been experimenting with cake mixes since Nancy
had all of those in the newsletters and I am having a ball! The ones using the 1 step angel food cake mix are so yummy!

Also, Corinne, in the same newsletter, gave a hint of how she gets a healthier butter. If you check in your groceries, you will see that Land O' Lakes offers a spreadable butter that contains olive oil! That's what we use at home. It is good, too! They also offer the same in a light version, and it's offered in the sticks.
Have a great day! Chris in NM


For Diane in the Oct. 24 newsletter requesting EZ Bake oven recipes.
http://www.budget101.com/kids.htm

This site won't let you copy and paste; you have to print directly from the site.
http://www.cyber-kitchen.com/ubbs/archive/KIDS/

This site has almost all the recipes as the first link and you can copy and paste.
http://www.thecookinginn.com/easybake/easybakereca.html

This has all the recipes in the first link plus a few more.
http://www.gfcfdiet.com/easy_bake_oven_recipes_complimen.htm

This site had a few different recipes. I read some where that you can use the jiffy mixes for the EZ Bake oven too. This should get you started in the right direction.

1/4 c. chopped celery

For Patricia in OH from Becky in Magnolia, Arkansas: This may be the recipe you're looking for; I can guarantee it is scrumptious! I got this recipe from Paula Deen's website at www.foodnetwork.com. You can count on anything she makes being out-of-this-world; you can also count on it NOT being low-fat, low-calorie or heart-healthy! Eat it at your own risk! But, hey, what is stressed spelled backwards? Desserts!

Peanut Butter Cheese Fudge
1/2 pound sliced easy-melt cheese (recommended: Velveeta)
1 cup (2 sticks) butter - NOT margarine
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped nuts, optional
2 (16-ounce) boxes confectioners' sugar

Lightly spray the bottom of a 9"square pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt cheese and butter together, then add peanut butter and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and add vanilla and nuts.

Empty confectioners' sugar into a large bowl and pour cheese mixture over sugar. Stir until completely mixed. Candy will be very stiff.

Using your hands, remove candy from the bowl and press evenly and firmly into the pan. Because of the amount of butter in this recipe, pat top of candy with a paper towel to remove excess oil. Place the pan in refrigerator until candy is firm.

To serve, cut into small squares.

For Lois of WI...Here are the rice cooker tips I can pass along:
1. The instructions that came with mine said for 1 scoop of rice, add water to the "1" mark inside pan. That's not enough water. Instead, I put enough water to measure BETWEEN the "1" and "2" marks. That makes it perfect.
2. No matter what I did (adding a little oil, washing the rice, etc.), while it cooked, it sputtered rice liquid out of the vent hole all over my counter top, making a big mess. An easy fix is to loosely drape a squeezed-out, wet dishcloth across the lid so that the sputters get on the cloth instead of on the counter top.
I love my rice cooker and don't see how I've gotten by without one for so long!

This is for Linda, from the October 30 newsletter. Your recipe for Chicken Enchiladas looks amazing. It calls for 1-1/2 dried leaves. 1-1/2 what? Tsp.? Tbs? And what type of dried leaves? I can't wait to try this one. Here is my TNT Chili recipe. It is easy, spicy, slightly sweet, and always gets rave reviews!
Tricia in VA

TNT Chili
1 Tbs vegetable oil
2 onions - small diced
3 cloves minced fresh garlic
2 Lbs. ground beef
1) 25-oz can chili beans
1/2 of a 12 oz jar chili sauce
1) 8 oz can tomato sauce
1/4 cup chili powder
2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 Tbs Worcestershire sauce

In a heavy bottomed pot, sauté onion and garlic in oil until golden brown. Add the beef to the onions and brown. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir. Simmer chili for 45 minutes. If it seems too thick, sometimes I add a cup of water. Serve with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and minced green onions. Oh, and don't forget the ice cold beer!


Hello! This recipe is for Mary W. in Colorado who is looking for wonderful appetizers for an upcoming party. This a wonderful clam dip that I make every year for Christmas and New Years parties. This dip I have to triple because it never ever lasts long. Hope you and others on here enjoy this just as much.
Dawn - Cape Cod, MA

Dawn’s Clam Dip
1 package of Philly cream cheese (hard, not whipped, not non-fat)
3-5+ - tbs.Worcestshire sauce to taste (I use about 4 tbs. per package of Philly cream cheese), use as little or as much you like
1 can of minced clams, reserve juice to the side

Mix first two ingredients, then add as little or as much of the clam juice as you desire. I usually add about 1/2 of the can of juice. Thoroughly mix all together. Chill at least 30 minutes before serving. Can be made the night before. Serve with thick potato chips or crackers. In my opinion it does not go well with veggies.


Hi to everyone in Nancyland!
Here are a few ver, very old recipes for the holidays.. Some of them may need to be modernized.


Divinity
1 2/3 C Sugar
1/3 C. Water
pinch of salt
1 pint marshmallow cream
1/2 C. nuts
1 tsp. vanilla.

Boil sugar, water and salt until it forms firm ball in cold water. 250 degrees on candy thermometer.place marshmallow cream in bowl and stir in hot syrup. Beat until it forms a peak. Add nuts & flavor. Drop from spoon on waxed paper. May leave out nuts and press marchino cherry in top of each piece of candy.


Peanut Brittle
2 C. Sugar
1 C. light Corn syrup
1/2 C. Water
1 tsp. vanilla
10 oz. pkg. raw peanuts
1/8 tsp. salt
1tsp soda
1 Tblsp. butter

Combine sugar, syrup, & water in large heavy skillet. Place over medium heat and stir until sugar dissolves. Cover and cook for 3 minutes. Remove cover and cook to soft ball stage 234 degrees on candy thermometer. Add peanuts stirring frequently. Cook until brittle reaches hard crack or brittle stage 300 degrees on thermometer. Remove from heat . Add remaining ingredients...except soda...stir until well blended.. Stir in soda well. Spread on a well butter 14 1/2x17 inch cookie sheet. as candy cools loosen edges of brittle on all four sides of cookie sheet. Lift up and pull edges gently to stretch candy as thin as possible. Break or cut off thin portions. Repeat process until all of candy has been pulled or stretched. Break into pieces after its cold. I spread foil on the cabinet, spray with cooking spray and spread hot candy directly on foil. Work fast as it sets up quickly, I can spread it very thin and omit all the lifting, pulling. Enjoy. This recipe is about 40 years old.

Diabetic Cookies
1-3/4 C. whole wheat flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. cloves
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 C. margarine

1/2 C. chopped raisins
1 C. bran
1/2 C. nuts

Sift together flour, spices and soda. In large gown mix together margarine, Splenda & egg. Mix in dry ingredients alternating with applesauce. Fold in bran, raisins S& nuts and mix thoroughly.. Drop onto greased cookie sheet by tablespoon. Lightly flatten with fork ..dipped in milk.. Bake at 350 for 7-8 minutes. Makes 36 cookies. 1 cookies =1 fat & 1/2 bread..76 calories per cookie.

Nancy, sorry this is so long. If you can use any of the great. I enjoy your letter every day, and really like the new format. It really looks great when printed out. I am running off some of the recipes to make small recipes books to give friends for Christmas gifts.

Hello Nancy & fellow food lovers. There have been so many lately we want to try! That San Antonio Squash from Amanda in Springs TX. is high on my list.
Marilyn in FL

For Susie Indy, I sure hope this is what you needed, you are always so good about filling other folks' requests.

BROWNIE TOP CARAMEL CUSTARD PIE
1 unbaked 9" pie shell
1/2 c. chopped walnuts
1 14 oz. can condensed milk, divided
20 tan colored caramels (the bags we can buy always have dark brown ones in too)
1 egg, beaten
2 T. margarine, melted
6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
Cool Whip for topping

Scatter nuts in the pie shell. On Low heat, mix 2/3 c. of the sweetened condensed milk & the caramels till caramels dissolve; pour this over the nuts. In another bowl, beat egg; mix in the margarine & the rest of the condensed milk, stir in the melted chocolate, & pour this over the caramel layer. Bake at 325 till the center springs back when touched with a finger, about 32-35 minutes. Serve warm or cool, topped with Cool Whip. Refrigerate left-overs.

For Joyce in Ky, this pot-luck dish is still good after it has cooled to almost room temp., so it's a good one to take. I first tasted it at a Christmas pot-luck, we all thought how different it was and with the red and green looked nice too, now whenever I take it anywhere other people want to make it too.

NOODLES AND ASPARAGUS
6-7 oz. fluffy medium noodles
1 #2 can asparagus bits & pieces, well drained
1 10 oz. can Cream of Celery soup
1 soup can of milk
1 c. shredded mild cheddar
1/2 c. pretty fine fresh bread crumbs
Dots of butter
1 T. diced drained pimento (plus some sliced ripe olives if you like them, we do)
Seasoned pepper, we like Lawrey's

Cook noodles as package directs, drain asparagus, and butter a 7" x 10" or a 9" x9" pan. Mix soup, milk, & cheese. Layer into pan, half of noodles, half of asparagus, and half of soup mixture; repeat.
Scatter the crumbs on top and dot with butter. Make an X or a circle or a tree or a bell or whatever on top with the pimento, and add the ripe olive slices too if you are using them. Sprinkle just lightly with the seasoned pepper. Bake at 350 for 35 -40 minutes, until very bubbly and edges are well browned.
Serves lots at a pot-luck, about 4 to 6 at home. Easy to double in a 9" x 13" pan. Makes a good lunch, too.

For Theresa P. , sweets cooked in a skillet.

CARMELIZED CANDIED SWEETS
1/2 c. margarine
1/2 lb. light brown sugar
1/8 c. maple syrup (cane syrup is good too)
2 lb. cooked or 2 #@ cans sweet potatoes or yams, cut in smallish pieces (more caramel!)

Use a largish skillet with plenty of room. Melt margarine, stir brown sugar in till completely dissolved.
Raise heat to High and dribble in syrup. When caramel is bubbly, add potatoes and red uce heat to Medium; cover & cook, turning once or twice with a big spoon, till sauce begins to look clear & clings to the potatoes, Serves 6-8. An old family favorite, especially for Christmas with turkey and Easter with ham. Easy to double or triple, but if you have to crowd the skillet, they take a little longer to get coated right.
