Can someone please tell me where to find recipe for the grape salad that Jane from pa is in. I have been off the internet for a couple months and use to get this recipe page all the time and loved it, then whenever I got back on I had a new e-mail address and joined up again, so I have really missed this site. I see Nancy is still doing a great job.
thanks, Sally from Pa


To Bev:
Thank you for the chicken marsala recipe. I can't wait to try it. I didn't even realize that marsala was a wine. Lol. Trying this ASAP and will send you feedback.

For Gladys, OH, 9-19 newsletter from Suzz, NE. This may also be similar to what Edith, MI, is looking for.
Sometimes I use all walnuts. Sometimes the only fruit I use is Chopped dried apricots 2#, or 2.5# if I leave out the coconut. Any fruit/nut mix you like works. Candied fruits are sweeter and moister than dried fruits. I've also used cinnamon graham crackers and really like them. If too dry, I moisten with rum or fruit juice.
Suzzette


NO BAKE FRUITCAKE
1 lb. Graham crackers, crushed
6 c. pecans (whole or broken)
4 c. English walnuts (whole or broken)
4 sticks margarine (not spread)
1 lb. marshmallows
1 lb. red candied cherries
1 lb. white (Golden) raisins
1 can sweetened condensed milk (like Eagle Brand)
1- 7 oz. pkg. coconut

Heat margarine and marshmallows until melted. Add milk and nuts; stir well. Pour over other ingredients that have already been mixed. Mix well and pack into mini loaf pans. Refrigerate. Will keep several months. Better if it ripens 2 week. Can also be frozen. I use 24 oz. disposable ziplok loaf shaped containers (packed full) because they have airtight lids.


Molten Chocolate Lava Cake
Molten Chocolate Lava Cakes

This looked wonderful in Prepared Pantry's newsletter. After reading the description

Molten chocolate lava cakes are wonderful little cakes filled with warm, oozing chocolate and dusted with powdered sugar or topped with whipped cream. It's an elegant cousin to a brownie. No wonder these are so popular.

This did not appear to something low in Weight Watchers points so I need your help.   I love anything chocolate and boy doesn't this look good?  Can some of our family try this mix and email me to tell me what I am missing?   I asked Dennis to send me some by email and all he sent was this picture, LOL.  I really think he ate it all and didn't want to share it with me.
Nancy

PS Dennis has the six-cup jumbo muffin tin on sale too.


Just had to finally - after agonizing over it - get my two cents worth in over the glass top stove.

I have had two of them. Both Maytag brand. The first was free-standing - and I loved it. We had it for two years and a friend bought it.

Then we built a new house and had one built in. Both had/have black tops. I still love the way it cooks - it cooks evenly and once you get into the "mode" it is easy to control the heat.
I have canned on it - everything.

BUT now we are finding this one - which is going on 7 1/2 years is not looking as spiffy as I'd like in my kitchen. I clean the stove every single day - and I don't do a lot of stove top cooking to begin with. But when I do I always put the pot/fryer/whatever on a trivet so it can't pick anything up off the counter and then I wipe it with paper towels before I put it on the burner. And it still doesn't clean up well.
The funny thing is - I said to my husband - if we ever get another kitchen - and he finished by saying "We're not getting a glass top stove."

It just looks slightly dingy with age - it certainly has been cared for well as all my appliances are.
Just my thoughts.

Hi
This is for Leslie in Wyoming
You should be able to use Splenda in your recipes. Just make sure you get the granulated kind. You can go on line to Splenda and get lots of recipes and helpful Info for the use of the sugar. Also go to Library and check out the Splenda books. This is what I did to learn the many uses. It also make absolutely great salad dressing.
Pat from Cal


September 19th was my birthday.  I am a bit confused about my age after talking to my brothers and my sister-in-law.  My brother that had lung surgery called from the Middletown Ohio hospital.  Bud (Ralph) said I was 11 years younger than he was.  He also stated he was now 29 years old.  That would make me 18 years old.

I talked with my sister-in-law in Paulden, Arizona.  She said I was 12 years younger than she was.  She said she was going to be 37 this year.  This would make me 35 years old.

Then my brother in Chino Valley, Arizona said he was 47 this year and I was 2 years younger than he was.  This made me 45 years old.

I was born in 1944 and I think they are all not telling the truth about their age, LOL.


For Tricia in Royal Oaks, re the breakfast for the 23 teens query. Have you considered breakfast burritos?
You can brown your sausage, for that many probably 2-3 lbs. the night before, drain and store in fridge till a.m.

Chop green peppers, onions, tomatoes and store in fridge.
grate cheese or purchase the grated cheese
soft flour tortilla shells
eggs probably a couple dozen ??

In the AM, scramble the eggs and mix in the cooked sausage sauté the peppers and onions till soft but not brown. Make an assembly line and let them put what toppings they want on theirs and roll their own. These are delicious and easily prepared especially if you do the prep work the night before. Good luck.
Sharon in TN


This is for Leslie in Wyoming, Sept 18, go to www.splenda.com and read the tips. A lot of things like cakes and quick breads come out only about an inch high. but the taste is good. For things not baked there is not difference. Hope this helps

Hi Nancy & Furbabies,
I've enjoyed all the sandwich memories. Thanks Myron. My mom always made us peanut butter & mashed banana sandwiches to use up older bananas. We kids made ketchup sandwiches and mustard sandwiches for after school snacks before we learned to cook. But our favorite was leftover cornbread dressing sandwiches on white bread after Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Suzz NE (born & raised in TX)


Hello Everyone, Just a quick note to say how pleased my 2 sisters were with the delicious cookie mixes from our own Prepared Pantry! I sent a bag of each cookie mix and now the grandchildren are all excited about which will be the next new flavor in their lunch boxes. Thanks Dennis and Gang!
Margaret in Michigan


Nancy and Friends,
I have to add to the great stories about some of the sandwiches from the past...
In the early 50's, a great bread treat was something my grandfather (French Canadian) use to call "Tooth Rolls." They were some kind of dough, fried in a shallow pan until golden, and then we would butter them to eat while still warm. Fried in fat and dripping with warm butter... Another favorite was fresh garden cucumbers sliced on buttered Betty Lou white bread. I remember we had to save the coupons off the bread wrapper as soon as we opened it or we'd be in big trouble. I don't remember what they were used for, but our mom sure thought they were a big deal and had a big pile of them. My hubby said it reminded him of S+H green stamps and the four primary colored mixing bowls every mother seemed to have in this area.

For the record, we ate mayonnaise sandwiches with salt and pepper on white bread. Sometimes we would go to the corner store and get 10 cents worth of baloney as a special treat and even had a couple of pennies for a penny candy splurge!
Yummmmmmmmmm Great Memories!

Nancy and helpers thank you for the work you do to get this letter out, I can't even imagine the work it takes. You must have been a fantastic teacher and the children that had you were lucky. It is of interest to note that recipes are the same but called different in different parts of the country. The peanut butter, cocoa and oatmeal "no bake" cookies here in Franklin Co VA are called Preacher Cookies but when you go South, they are called Mississippi Mud Cookies. They are so easy to make that the children love to help.S everal people have sent in recipes.
Jean Cecil, Wirtz,VA


Hi Nancy and all, all these older sandwich ideas brought to mind one of mine, though not a sandwich. My MIL would make a supper called her "depression meal". She took a jar of home canned tomatoes, and heated them up on the stove. Then added any cheese in the frig, even cheese that was going hard, and heated that along with the tomatoes until the cheese started to melt. She would serve it over bread, day old or whatever, didn't matter, but boy, was that good. I have made it for my boys and they like it too. Have a great day everyone, Laura, waiting for the rain in Ct.


Hello Nancy,
Dorothy from WA asked if half the glaze goes on the bottom of pan before you remove it, yes. Some helpful tips is i forgot to tell you that i melt my butter in the microwave, add ingredients and wisk real good to combine. Another tip is if you may have one of the new silicone cake pans[ wal-mart $5-7.00] i pour all my glaze at one time. You can gently pull the sides of the pan away, making sure that all the cake gets coated good down all sides and middle. Let the cake rest awhile, to absorb liquid, then put a plate/cake server on top, carefully flip over. I love the silicone bakeware, the only drawback is you have to be careful with utensils because they can be cut or damaged easy. The cathedral type, etc. make the most beautiful cakes [ especially if you need something a little extra special for a dinner, party etc.]. I also put the silicone pan on a cookie sheet before putting cake ingredients in it because they are flimsy and need something to sit on while baking. Enough rattling on, hope you enjoy anyway.
Jenny from KY


Hello , This is for Boots in Va. from the Sept. 17th newsletter. I use olive oil in my beans, cabbage, green etc. It is really good and taste
all most like they were cooked with fatty meats. It really gives food a great flavor and is supposed to be really good for you. I usually use about 2 tablespoons.
Sherrie in De.

P.S. Hello Nancy, Siggy & Ditto. Hope you are all well. I love the newsletter and the stories about your furry sons.

Comment
Ditto kept waking me up last night. I scratched my nose on my car keys when I reached down to get something out of the car. I didn't realize the keys would be in the way. Last night Ditto kept touching the scratch on my nose when I was asleep. I finally had to get up and put makeup on the nose so he wouldn't keep patting it.

I have some new pictures of both Siggy and Ditto to post and as soon as I have time to transfer them from the camera.
Nancy


Nancy, Just like to tell you about my husband. Thursday night I went on the webtv to get NANCY'S NEWSLETTER and forgot it was Thursday and no newsletter so went to bed so about 10:00 my chest got to hurting and the hold nine yards. I walked the floor and about 2:30 got husband up and he took me to UAB hospital in B'ham and sure enough I had a heart attack and on the edge of having another. My husband told the doctor that he could tell them what cause the attack was I did not get Nancy's newsletter (do you think that I am HOOKED on the newsletter) he tells everybody that it is the reason not him. Got home last night and do good. Thanks Nancy you make my day.
Byron Tindle Bessemer, Ala.

Comment
I almost forgot this week that it was Thursday again. I enjoy compiling the newsletter with all the great recipes, requests and comments. Not only are most of our family (members) are recipe addicted but it appears many have a Nancylander newsletter addiction too,  I may need to put a disclaimer on this newsletter, LOL

Hi Nancy in September 17th newsletter Lisa P asked for a "chocolate oatmeal cookie" her mother used to make.
This is the one I've always made, it sounds as if it may be the same.
I hope everyone has a good day.

Monday Newsletter, Sept. 18

RE
I am diabetic but still would love to bake (and eat) cake , cookies , pie etc. I was hoping some of you
would know if a recipe calls for sugar can I substitute Splenda and still get good results ? If so, do i have to do anything different or just Splenda = Sugar ? I sure would like to try some of my recipes but don't want to try if its not going to work !!!!!!
Thanks Leslie in Wyoming

I have used the Splenda Baking Mix (which does have some sugar in it)in making my cookies. It works very well. I have also used regular Splenda and it works but the cookies are more crispy and not chewy. I hope this explains it. I just substitute half the amount that is called for in the recipe as it explains on the Splenda Package. I use all my own favorite recipes and just substitute for the sugar. Hope this helps.

I make the peanut butter, caramel and hot fudge sauce for special occasions like my son’s birthday. All are very thick and rich. I usually send the leftovers home with someone so that I won’t want to eat them – with a spoon.
Eureka, IL

This is for Tricia in Royal Oak, MI

Who in the 9/16 newsletter was asking for breakfast casserole recipes. She will need to double the recipes to feed the number of students that she mentioned. She may also want to consider taking cut up fresh fruit, as this has always been a big hit at any breakfast function where I have taken food. I always used seasonal fruits, such as strawberries, various melons, peaches, nectarines, oranges, grapefruit, blueberries, and grapes. I usually added a can or two of chunk pineapple in its own juice, as the juice from the pineapple kept the other fruit from turning brown. If adding bananas, do it right before serving, as they tend to get soggy, and at least my family won’t eat them. She may also want to check and see if all the students eat meat, or if anyone is Jewish, since they can’t eat dishes with cheese and meat mixed together. Robbie in Bowling Green, IN

Mexican Breakfast Casserole
8 oz. bulk pork sausage
4 eggs
3/4 cup milk
6 cups bread - cut in cubes
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Brunch for a Bunch
1 lb. bulk pork sausage*
3 cups frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups (12 oz.) shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
12 large eggs, beaten
2 cups milk

*May substitute sausage with ham
** may also add ½ cup mushrooms and ½ cup onions
Cook sausage in a skillet until browned, stirring to a crumble; drain. Place potatoes in a lightly greased 13 X 9 X 2 inch baking dish, sprinkle with salt.

Layer sausage, cheese and green pepper. Combine eggs and milk, stirring well, and pour over the green peppers. Bake at 350 degrees for about 50 minutes.

Nancy I have a question for Bette Indiana newsletter 9/18 Pumpkin Spice Bread recipe you had listed flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin, oil and eggs. Then you added if you desire spicy bread add more cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg to taste. As you can see Bette you didn't have the allspice listed in the recipe. If it is to be in the recipe then how much? Thank you so much.

Nancy I have not seen any stories about your associates and the help, questionable, (but great laughs) that they have given you lately.

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

Hi everyone: I have a favor to ask, does anyone have a recipe for "Apple Butter" made from pre-made, apple sauce? I heard about it and it sounds easier than chopping up all those apples. thanks, Barb from Cle Elum, Wa. by the way, the local forest fire is about 15 miles away and does not threaten Cle Elum at all. Thanks for asking.
Barb


To Donna in 9/19 newsletter: I always strap my purse into the cart. I figure if anyone wants it they will have to take the cart too!!

Re: smooth top ranges- I love mine and will never, ever go back to the ones with drip pans. It is so easy to keep clean and it always looks like new. I use Bar Keepers Friend on it and am glad to hear the hint about using baking soda! Thanks!

Carin in Central FL (where it will be in the mid 60's tomorrow (9/21) morning!! Relief from the heat. YAY!!)


For Bette in the Sep. 19th newsletter. There is a cracker called club crackers made by Hekman. They are usually by the other crackers in the store. They are rectangular in shape and are richer then soda cracker. Tall green box. I purchase them at Meijer locally.
Genie


Hi Nancy,
Another day of delicious recipes to copy into Home Cooking, which I agree Nancy is a wonderful program to store all your recipes.

To Sara in Fla., glad you are enjoying the recipe for the apple fritters, I would like to make them more often but my husband is on a diet so it is a special treat when I make them.

The Mariann in MI. I will try and find the recipe for the cake but it might take me a while as that was 65 yrs. ago and I'm not sure I still have the recipe, but I will look. I am originally from Mich. a little town called Perry between Lansing & Flint. Where are you from?

Thanks again Nancy for letting us all converse about a subject we all love, FOOD.

Hi All, Your talking about sandwiches you used to eat reminds me of the sandwiches I ate when I lived in Sydney, Australia. We used to go to a sandwich shop for lunch and they offered all kinds of sandwich fillings. My favorite next to schnitzel, fresh off the grill, was potato salad sandwich. They also put spaghetti between two pieces of bread, as well as carrot salad, baked beans and a lot of other things that I don't remember any more. On New Years Eve, because the club we were celebrating at was going to stay open past 10 or 11, I don't remember which, we were all served corn sandwiches. These were just drained canned corn on buttered bread. Actually very tasty. It is fun to remember the past. Thanks for all the sharing you all do.
Carolyn, Los Banos


Hi everyone I am looking for a recipe for marinated vegetables. I had it at a little grill here in my hometown,. The lady said it had 15 vegetables and its not hot its a cold dish. I was wondering if anyone know what this is.
thank you, Debbie in North Carolina


Hi Nancy,
I'm reading the no-bake recipes in the newsletter. We love no-bakers too. Below is one of our favorite recipes.

Rice Krispies(R) Treats are maybe our favorite no-baker but we often add chocolate, dried fruit or jam. We have a free baking guide on our website that has a bunch of Krispies recipes. You can the free guide here: http://www.preparedpantry.com/KrispieInfoPage.htm

Enjoy the guide and the recipe.
Dennis Weaver The Prepared Pantry


In the September 19th newsletter, LuAnn in Iowa asked about the Pizza cooker. I have one and really like it. You don't have to preheat an oven and it doesn't heat up your kitchen, so is nice in the warm weather. We use it to cook frozen pizzas, but also to cook the ones we make with flour tortillas as the crust. It takes about 12 minutes, which is quicker than having to wait for the oven to preheat. It has a dual control which I put in the middle to heat both on top and bottom. If top or bottom gets cooked too long for your liking, you just have to turn the control to the top or bottom setting, you prefer. It is great for just a couple of people to bake French fries. It takes the same time as it would for the oven, but remember, you don't have to preheat. I heard it is good for cooking the frozen chicken nuggets and fish sticks, which is why we are giving one to our Son and Wife for their anniversary. Their children love those for lunch. I also heard you can bake the slice off cookies on them, but when I tried to bake the sugar free chocolate chip cookies, I didn't like them as well as in the oven. This is also great for reheating items. Those things that are deep fried always turn out soft and rubbery in the microwave, but turn out just as you liked the first time around with this cooker. As an extra bonus, it entertained my grandchildren, as they watched it turn around.

Also, in the Sept. 19th newsletter, Patti in Tx was asking about the carbs in a potato. One medium potato is one carb. It doesn't matter how you cook them, they still are one carb. Of course, the boiled or baked potatoes are better for you. We all need variety in our diets, so when you decided to fry, just use olive oil. It is good for your cholesterol.
Sandy in Iowa


Adding to the eating memories, whenever Mom was peeling potatoes, I would grab a small one that was peeled and eat it raw!!!
Joyce from Indiana


Hi Everyone.
Nancy you do such a superb job with this newsletter and your site!!! Truly amazing!

I have a couple of requests: Does anyone know how to "render lard"? We just butchered out a hog this morning and it seems so wasteful to throw all that fat away!

Also, does anyone have a TNT recipe for Brussels Sprouts salad?? I had this once up North and would love to make it.

Lastly, somewhere (in all the recipes, etc I've looked at) I saw a recipe for brisket cooked in apple juice? Does anyone have this recipe?

Thanks a bunch. This is truly a special group of folks.
Sue in Fl


I keep reading about the 4 tins and a tub salad, I must have missed it and can't find it. Could someone please tell which letter it was in? Sounds interesting! Thanks and thank you Nancy for all your hard work!
Kay in Indy


Tricia in Royal oaks is looking for breakfast ideas for a group. There have been a lot of recipes for breakfast casseroles that you prepare the night before and cook up in the morning. You probably have a few of those hash brown/egg types in your collection. My sister makes a nice custard type I will give you here. It's really almost a dessert but it is not an overnight type, it has to be assembled that morning. I will also give you an overnight soufflé That I like. I usually make up some microwave brown and serve type sausages in the microwave and have pitchers of juice and cut up fruit with it.

Hi Nancy,
I am new to this and enjoying it very much. Does anyone have the recipe for the wonderful, spinach and artichoke egg soufflé, that they serve for breakfast at Panera Bread Cafe? The spinach and bacon is good too. I would love to make them. Thanks so much.
