Hi Nancy, Re: Muffin Top Pans. I was unable to pull up the Prepared Pantry website. However, I did get a baker's catalogue from KING ARTHUR FLOUR and found the pans in the catalogue. Today's N/L 9/6 has the Catalogs.com free catalogs ad. The catalog is listed in the many free ones. I have already ordered 2 of the pans.
Margaret, Tulsa

P.S. Thought this might be a website some of the other "Landers" might be interested in since there was a discussion some time back about KING ARTHUR FLOUR.


Great Leftover Casserole
1 cup sliced celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup butter
1-7 ounce box herbed croutons
2 cans of either mushroom, chicken or celery soup
1-4 ounce can mushrooms, drained
1 cup chicken broth
3 cups cooked chicken, turkey or ham
Saute celery & onion in butter in large casserole. Stir in croutons, then add remaining ingredients. Cover & cook in microwave on high for 10 minutes. Or this can be baked in oven for 1/2 hour @ 350 degrees. This is good to make when you are in a hurry. I think beef would be good also using beef broth instead of chicken broth. I've only used chicken or turkey when making this but it's really good.

I have another date bar recipe that's really good but different from previous one. I got this one from my sister & it too is a winner! I make this also for the holidays every year.

Date Nut Bars
Combine 3/4 cup chopped dates & 3/4 cup chopped walnuts. Mix 2 tablespoons flour to above to keep from sticking together. Set aside.
Mix 1/3 cup Crisco, 2/3 cup brown sugar(packed), and 1 egg. Beat till fluffy. Add 2 tablespoons milk & 1 teaspoon vanilla. Set aside.
Mix dry ingredients together: 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder,1 & 3/4 cup flour, PLUS 2 tablespoons flour. Mix well & add to above. Add dates & walnuts.
Put this into a greased 13x9 pan & bake 1/2 hour @350 degrees. Dust with powder sugar & cut into squares while still warm.

For Ella in CA:
This is a recipe for Chop Suey. My Dad gave it to me, he was from Chicago. It was my Grandmother's recipe. When my Dad got older and in bad health, he gave me this recipe and requested I make it. He loved it---and so did my husband. The part that says "Mother prefers all pork shoulder" is taken directly from my Dad's recipe.
Hope you enjoy!
Tina in GA

Chop Suey (Dagny Jensen’s recipe)
1-1/2 lbs meat cut in cubes (*half beef and pork or half pork and veal) Mother prefers all pork shoulder
1 cup onion
1 cup celery
3 tablespoons molasses

Brown meat in butter. Pour in saucepan, add enough water so that when you tip the pot a little, you can see the water. Simmer for about 15 minutes. Add celery, onion and molasses on top of meat and don't stir. Simmer until celery and onion are tender, about an hour.

Just before serving, thicken juice with cornstarch mixed in water and add mushrooms, as many as you prefer. Serve with boiled rice.


Here's another good recipe I make over the holidays but it's delicious any time.

Filled Date Squares

Date filling-
1 pound pitted dates, chopped
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon orange peel
1 teaspoon lemon peel
Boil dates with sugar & water till smooth. Add nuts & lemon & orange peel. Cool & set aside.

Mix together in separate bowl:
1-1/2 cup oatmeal
1 -3/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Mix all ingredients in order given.
Now melt 1 cup butter & add to dry mixture. Put half of this mixture in a 13x9 pan (butter the pan 1st)

Spread with date filling. Put remaining mixture over this. Bake @325 degrees for 1/2 hour. Cut into squares while still warm.

Hi all NancyLanders,
I thoroughly enjoy this letter and reading everyone's requests. My daughter has been looking for a copycat (or clone) for Bojangle's Cajun Pintos. If anyone could help with this, I would appreciate it. Bojangle's Restaurants are in the southeast and eastern states. I really would like to get this for her if at all possible.
Thanks, Mildred in NC


I just found and amazing website that I think many of you will enjoy. The site is www.etsy.com. You can buy and sell handmade and vintage items for a very reasonable cost. I plan to do some Christmas shopping here as I really enjoy handmade items. I also will sell some items here soon. I spent over an hour on the site Sunday afternoon. Check it out!!

Do you know Cool Whip now comes in an aerosol can?

Hi Nancy: I haven't submitted a recipe in quite some time, but would like to submit my own version of baked beans. This is for all my fellow vegetarians:

Baked Beans
3 cans of beans in tomato sauce
1 can Mexican red beans (could use pinto)
chopped onions and green/red sweet peppers
(however many you want)
1 can diced pineapple
Brown sugar, ketchup and mustard to taste.

Put beans in slowcooker. Saute onions & pepper & stir into beans along with pineapple, br. sugar, ketchup & mustard. Cook for several hrs.

I hope you all like these as well as we do.

Hello Nancy!
I am responding to the newsletter of 9/5. Ella from CA requested a recipe for Chop Suey with molasses. Mine isn't made with molasses but it is a similar recipe and very easy to make.
Dolores

Chop Suey
1 pound chop suey meat or pork cubes
1 large can chop suey vegetables (do not drain)
1/2 cup chopped onions
1 small can sliced mushrooms
1 T. Brown Gravy Sauce (see note)

Thicken with cornstarch dissolved in water before serving.
I use Minute Rice so it's easier for me! We also like the rice noodles instead of chow mein noodles on top and a little soy sauce.
Makes 4 servings approx.

Brown meat, season with salt and pepper. Add chopped onions and cook until transparent. Add chop suey vegetables and mushrooms including all the juices from the cans. Mix in the one tablespoon of Brown Gravy Sauce. Simmer until meat is tender, about 1 hour.

Note: Brown Gravy Sauce is found in the Asian aisle along with the chop suey vegetables and soy sauce, etc. It's a thick dark brown sauce that includes molasses and caramel flavorings. It also gives the chop suey a rich, brown color along with a sweet, salty taste.


Hi Everyone,
Someone sent a recipe for pear salad which is similar to one I make.
This one has a little different twist so thought I would send it. It
is definitely a favorite at any gathering. It is so easy to do.

Pear Salad
1 3 oz. pkg. sugar free lime jello
1 8 oz. pkg. low fat cream cheese
1 can lite pears

Put one cup boiling water and jello in blender. Blend until dissolved. Add cream cheese that has been cut in to chunks. Blend again. Add the can of pears with juice. Blend until smooth. Pour into a 1 1/2 qt serving dish. Top with colored miniature
marshmallows. Chill.

Ok I know yall can help me. My husband wants a peanut butter frosting that his grandmother use to make. She made it in a cast iron skillet and poured it on a cake. She is in the nursing home and has memory problems. He said it got harder when it cooled but not crispy. I hope some one knows what I am talking about. I can not come up with a good one. My goats love me because of my trying so hard.

I made these for my son and they were wonderful. I found cantaloupe on sale for $.68 a piece. He loves them and I wanted to make them last. I froze them in an ice cube tray and pull them out of the freezer bag when he wants one. I am going to try water melon next or maybe honeydew. He loves melon of any type.

Cantaloupe Ice Pops
4 cups cubed cantaloupe
1/4 cup sugar
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 Tablespoon chopped fresh mint or 1 teaspoon dried mint
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
12 plastic cups or Popsicle molds (3 oz each)
12 Popsicle sticks

In a blender or food processor combine the first five ingredients; cover and process until smooth. Pour 1/4 cup into each cup or mold; insert sticks. Freeze until firm.
Yields: 1 dozen

I would like to make lemon infused olive oil for Christmas gifts, but the sites /recipes I've seen are scaring me a bit, with talk of botulism and steriliziing and refrigerating.....(my 'market' bought I just keep in the cupboard as I do plain olive oil: is that not right?) Does anyone know if it is safe to make a batch, bottle it, and give it away without worrying? Thanks in advance!
Sue in Washington


To Tona in Bama: THANK-YOU SO MUCH, for all the wonderful recipes for FUDGE in the Sat.9/6/08 news-letter. I copied them all. Even tho I'm diabetic I enjoy making "good fudge" for giving away at Christmas & so forth. By the way could these recipes be made with the splenda??? It would cut down the sugar content to where maybe some diabetics with good control (as I am) could cheat once in a while.
Thanks again, Jennie NM


I just highlight, copy, paste in edit and then click write and send the recipe to my mail box. Then when I have more time there is no searching and I just print the recipe for my recipe file. No play on words but easy as pie.

For Anita in Camarillo, in the same newsletter, wanting a spaghetti recipe using Romas I am enclosing my T & T recipe. Sounds so good I just might make some this week!

http://whatscookin.proboards4.com/index.cgi?


Below is my spaghetti recipe. This is my recipe for spaghetti sauce I have made time and again. My 18 yr. old granddaughter says it is Awesome! She asked for the recipe so she could make it at home instead of the one they usually make! LOL Sometimes I don't use the bay leaf, though. It's up to the cook. This is a combination of several recipes that I tried till I found a combination we really liked. This makes a lot, so I usually freeze 1/2 of it. It actually fills our 6 qt. crock pot!

Slow Cooker Spaghetti and Meat Sauce
1-1/2 lb. browned ground beef
8 oz. or ½ pkg. mild ground Italian sausage, browned with ground beef
8 Roma tomatoes, fine diced (you may want to use more) OR
1 (28 oz.) can whole Italian style (Roma) tomatoes, cut up and undrained Or you may use fresh, I do! Use 1 ½ to 1 ¾ lbs. fresh Romas
1 pkg. fresh mushrooms, sliced (you may use canned, drained)
1 lg. onion, finely diced
1 large green bell pepper, finely diced
1 large red bell pepper, finely diced
1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste
1 (15 oz.) can tomato puree
2 to 3 cans (8 oz. ea.) tomato sauce
1 c. dry red wine
1 ½ tsp. minced garlic
2 tsp. sugar - this is essential!
2 tsp. dried Italian seasoning, crushed
1/8 - ¼ tsp. ground black pepper - or to taste
1 bay leaf
12 oz. dried pasta, cooked and drained
shredded Italian cheese - I use Asiago sometimes

Brown ground beef and sausage till browned in large skillet. Meanwhile, combine remainder of ingredients, minus the pasta, in crock-pot. Cover and cook on high heat till meat is browned. Add browned meat and cover; turn crackpot to low and cook on low heat for 8 to10 hours. Or you may cook on high heat for 4 to 5 hours. Remove bay leaf and discard. Pass pasta and sauce and cheese. Enjoy!! Chris in NM

Here is a link to lots of tomato recipes: http://www.nancyskitchen.com/tomato_recipes.htm My favorite is this one below. You can freeze it in smaller containers, just enough for 1 recipe in each container. When you need sauce, grab a container, thaw and add to the dish you want to make! Saves lots of time! I always use Romas when making any kind of sauce; so since this recipe calls for 20 large tomatoes I would use 40 Romas.

FrozEn Tomato Sauce
http://www.nancyskitchen.com/tomato_recipes.htm

20 lg. tomatoes
4 lg. onions
4 lg. carrots
8 stalks celery
3 tbsp. sugar or less
3/4 tsp. pepper
Salt to taste

(Don't need any sugar or salt.) Cut vegetables in chunks and put all in large (heavy) kettle and bring to boil, stirring often. Simmer on low heat 40 minutes to an hour, until soft. Cool and put in blender on high for 1 minute or so. Freeze in 1 pint cartons. Good in casseroles and chili. (Don't need to peel vegetables either.)

Does anyone out there have a recipe for chicken and dumplings? You know the kind you always hear about "granny" made. Not the fluffy type. I have a pretty good recipe for those. An elderly lady in our church in MIssouri used to make it so wonderfully. Does anyone have a favorite recipe they wouldn't mind sharing.
Thank you. Lorraine in Wyoming


What day was the original hot dog or hamburger bun custard pudding recipe, in??? Where can I find it, please?

Nancy in the newsletter 9/6 Carolyn, Rochester, New York asked the question about Mom McGinnis's Spare Ribs and Sauerkraut. When I do it in the Crock Pot the setting is low and we do not like crisp sauerkraut so that is why I put the sauerkraut on about 8:00 to 10:00 pm and then in the morning about 8:00 to 10:00 am the spare ribs in sections of 2 or 3 rib bones. If you wish you can put it all in the morning no later than 7:00 am. When I have forgotten to put the sauerkraut on the night before then I have layered it in the Crock Pot in the morning, no later than 7:00 am and have put it on high. It all depends on how you like the sauerkraut.

I have another question and that is a year or so in the newsletter appeared a recipe for apple pie that just a couple of ingredients. I remember that it had, of course, apples, spice, margarine/butter, a thickener and pie crust. It sounded good, easy and simple to make. That is what I am after now. HELP please I would like the recipe posted again or the newsletter it was in. Thanks so much.

The member of the newsletter in the South take care and be safe with all the weather that has come and that is still to come. I know we will be think of you all.

Everyone have a great day. Nancy and 4 legged associates take care, stay safe and cool.

Here's a really good moist cake.

Pineapple Whipped Cream Cake
1 yellow cake mix as directed on box. I use Duncan Hines. While still hot pour 1 can crushed pineapple over cake; juice and all. Cool completely. Mix 1 box of French vanilla instant pudding in mixing bowl with 1/2 of an 8 ounce cream cheese that's at room temperature. Add just enough milk to be of spreading consistency(about 1/3 cup). Spread this on cooled cake. Add sliced bananas on top of this. Then top with cool whip & make peaks to make it look nice. I usually double this recipe using 2 cake mixes because it does not last. I have a large pan that I use for when I make lasagna & when I use 2 cake mixes that's what I have to use. Everyone just loves it!!
