In regards to "Jan from Iowas" idea for leftover pie crust. I was thinking how wonderful and yummy it would be to add some very thin sliced granny smith apple slices (or apple of choice) to the cinnamon and sugar dusted rolled out piecrust dough along with a few drizzles of caramel (ice cream topping section of grocery store) to that and bake it....Sounds like a great addition to me, especially with fall and all the wonderful apples we have this time of year!

Nancy,
A while back someone sent in a memo saying that they had gotten some frozen salad recipes sent from the Betty Crocker website people. I sent them an e-mail a while back and have not gotten any response and was wondering if the person who originally posted the comment would be willing to share. Thanks!

Hello
Years ago, we lived in So. California. I use to make an orange juice jelly for my kids. I made it from a recipe on Snow Crop Orange Juice can. They use to like this and I would like to find it, again. Also, I had a recipe for pumpkin cookies. It was from boy scouts and it made a very large batch. I have lost that recipe, as well. It was a soft cookie and was very good. If anyone has these, I would appreciate having them.

I love this site. Finally home to enjoy my computer!
Thank you.

I have a chicken recipe my daughter asks for all the time, it is very simple & sooo good.

Brown 2 to 3 chicken breasts in a bit of butter, remove them & cut into a dice. In the same pan add 1 cup of salsa & 1 can of whole kernel corn drained, add the chicken back to the pan. Cover & simmer about 10 minutes.

Place about 1/4 cup on warm tortillas add some grated cheese of your choice, I use cheddar. Roll up & serve, Kids love these.

Hi Nancy! To rid mothball odor, try placing several charcoal briquettes inside the van. The briquettes are natural odor eliminators and will absorb the lingering mothball odor.
Debi

Mothballs are one of the hardest smells to get rid of. I think it penetrates everything. I would think you should clean the interior the best you can, using carpet cleaner. Next, you will want to use something that absorbs smells, such as charcoal or kitty litter. Then if you still smell it, you will have to go to a cover up of some kind. We had a problem with cigarette smoke in a used car. This all helped, then we put a soap dish with Irish Spring soup under one of the seats. It did a pretty good job.
Sandy

My mom is a great believer of using tomato juice. Just wash with pure tomato juice, rinse and wipe, then let dry. If using for clothes just was in pure tomato juice then rinse and dry. Works for removing smells in refrigerator, suitcases and purses. Just wash rinse and dry. She had a pair of leather boots that had moth ball smell and she washed them with tomato juice, rinsed and then let them air dry outside and the smell was gone. Hope this helps.
Jeanne

Hi Vida;
Very simple, go buy a couple of bags of charcoal large bags. Cut the tops off, & slit them down the sides & place them in the van, roll up the windows & leave them there for a few days, this should do the trick.

Someone wrote in asking if the 2 quarts of pecans is the correct amt. in Martha Washington candy. This is what recipe calls for, I haven't made it, but looks yummy! Emma


I have had my baking stone for 10+ years and have always kept it in my oven when baking cakes or anything. That is basically where I store it and it is still in good shape.

In answer to the person asking where to find them, I bought mine from Pampered Chef, but have seen them in stores with baking pans, etc.
Zelda from TX

Betty, you can find all kinds of baking stones in the holiday gift collection 2004 ABC Distributing Catalogue. This is website to go to www.abcdistributing.com
you can view everything in catalogue there. Hope this helps you to find some .I love mine,

From Le Mouton Noir, Saratoga California, 1987. We believe the Pastry Chef at the time was Jan Phillippi. This recipe came from this restaurant back in the days when it was still owned and operated by Don Durante and his wife Marcia. This recipe is as memorable as the early days of this spectacular local restaurant.
Serves 12

French Silk Pie
1 pound Belgium Chocolate (dark, semi-sweet)
4 eggs
1 pound 7 ounces sweet butter (softened)
1 1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup toasted pecans (chopped)
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 baked graham cracker crust (recipe follows)

Melt the chocolate with cream slowly in a double boiler. Meanwhile, whip the butter and sugar together in a mixer (DO NOT OVER WHIP) till just incorporated. Add eggs, whip again till just incorporated. Add chocolate mixture after chocolate is melted and still warm, stir by hand until smooth and the butter is completely melted. Then add vanilla and pecans, stir to incorporate and pour into a 10" springform pan lined with a graham cracker crust. Chill at least 6 hours or over night. Remove at least 2 hours before serving and serve at room temperature. This pie may be made 4 -5 days ahead but should be kept refrigerated.


Atkins Bake Mix Substitute
1/2 cup soy flour
1/2 cup almond flour
2 cups soy protein isolate

1 tsp salt
2 tbsp Splenda

Thanks to the person that put the Bisquick recipes link.  It had hundreds of recipes.  I also found lots and lots of great Halloween recipes there.  The member that is looking for Halloween recipes may want to check it out too.


Shepard Pie
I have tried several ways of preparing Sheppard Pie and they all tasted fabulous. Depending on how big of a casserole dish you use mash potatoes white fresh or instant, also I have used sweet potatoes 1-1/2 lbs. cooked ground beef, pork, veal or lamb 1 large onion and salt and pepper to taste 2 or 3 cups of cooked veggies fresh or canned peas, creamed corn, lima beans, or which ever are your favorites

Brown beef in large skillet with onion and drain off all fat. Make mashed potatoes and cook veggies if using fresh. Butter or use Pam to coat your casserole dish ,add veggies spreading out in dish or pan then add meat with onion for second layer, top it off with spooning the mashed potatoes over the entire top of dish, and if you wish dot with butter, put in oven under broiler for about 2 to 3 minutes until top is brown or if you want put in a 375? oven for about 30 minutes to brown top. I have tried the mashed sweet potatoes with ground lamb, cinnamon and creamed corn. It really was delicious and the beef with just using peas as the only veggie and it also came out great but it is to your liking to what veggies to use.

Mississippi Delta Cathead Biscuits Recipe
1-1/8 cup self-rising flour
2/3 cup milk or buttermilk
1/8 cup oil or bacon drippings

Step #1: Blend above ingredients in a mixing bowl.

Step #2: Dump a hand full of flour on a pastry cloth or whatever. A brown paper sack also works. Newspaper also works just fine.

Step #3: Dump the blended dough onto the flour.

Step #4: Pour a dash of oil into your skillet and smear it around with your fingers. Coat the inside of the skillet and the palms of your hands with oil.

Step #5: Knead the dough for about 30 seconds, rolling it in the flour and thickening it.

Step #6: Halve the dough. Halve it again, making 4 pieces of dough. Step #7: Roll each piece of dough between your hands, making it into a ball, then put it in the skillet.

Step #8: Use a spoon or a pastry brush and put a little oil or bacon drippings on the top of each unbaked biscuit.

Preheat oven to 3500. Bake 25 minutes. Broil/toast for 1 or 2 minutes.

Nutritional/Serving Info:
They should be somewhat round on top and not flat like canned biscuits. Do not cut them out of rolled-out dough with the rim of a glass or with any other implement as every biscuit recipe I've ever read said to do. Roll them into a ball with your hands.

Comments:
They're called "cathead biscuits" because they should be about the size of a cat's head.

A similar recipe was sent in by Sue


My curiosity is aroused. Being a "cat" person, what are kitten head biscuits? Is there a recipe for this?
Callie


Hi Nancy, I have requested/replied to your recipe site before, but I can never say enough about how great your website is and how much I enjoy looking through all the recipes and comments each day. Today I have another request: I am looking for a good 'down-home' recipe for Chicken & Dumplings using a homemade recipe for the dumplings that does NOT use baking powder. One of the best recipes like this that I have enjoyed each time I visit there has been at the 'Applewood Farmhouse Restaurant' in Pigeon Forge, TN.
Thanks for any help anyone can give me. And, thank you again, Nancy, for this wonderful website!

A question about Applesauce Cake baked in a Jar
About how long will these keep?
Zelda from TX

Just wondering.. how do you get the cake out of the jar when you want to eat it? Spooning it out would be hard. Thanks.

Hi, Last year, on one of my groups I read that bread in a jar (banana is what I made) was not safe to eat. Have you heard or read anything re: this?  I have 8 jars and I'm not sure if I should use them. I did follow the water processing canning procedure! I love your newsletter...

3/4 stick Margarine or butter
Pepper to taste

Put all ingredients into a pan and cook real slow for 20-25 minutes. No peeking now. After that time, lift the lid and loosen up with a fork. Serve and enjoy!

I asked how they made it and the next day they had a stack of directions all printed out for me & others on the ship. I thought I would share this with you.

Tried to call you on your birthday but couldn't get you.  Now I know where you have been.  Come down to visit me in Lubbock soon and bring Brillhart with you.  Also let's get together one day and just do genealogy at the Lubbock library.
(We worked together in the same school for over 25 years. During that time we became good friends. She always called me teacher and I always called her Nurse.)

Nurse, could you post your recipe for Pina Colada and your Kalaha Cake.  I love your recipe and can't find the ones you make.
Nancy


This is an answer to Boots in Virginia. I think you could use any sort of tougher meat into the crockpot and have it come out as tender as you please.

I always buy a cheaper cut of beef roast and add an envelope of onion soup mix and about a cup of water and let it cook on low for the day. When supper time comes around, I take the meat out (it's usually falling apart) and put the drippings in a sauce pot and add about 2 cups of water and a quarter cup of flour (whisk it good before putting in put and whisk until everything is smooth. I usually add about 2 tablespoons of Kitchen Bouquet which helps to flavor and darken the gravy.

I would like a TNT recipe for oyster stuffing. I'm from the southeast originally, but it was never something that my family made. We made oyster pie with saltines, butter, and pepper. That is not what I want. I had coworkers when I lived further south who talked of oyster stuffing. I would like to serve it this Thanksgiving, but need time for a trial run before the big day.

Enrico Spaghetti

Hi Darlene, I found this at Yankee Harvest recipes hope it is the one you want,
Brenda from Alabama

1 pound pasta - spaghetti
1 teaspoon plain salt or iodized salt - to boiling water
1 yellow onion, from the garden, sliced thin
4 garlic cloves, from the garden, minced
1 green bell pepper, from the garden, cut into strips
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 pound sweet or hot Italian sausage links, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick pieces
1 can tomatoes, 16-ounce, chopped, including the juice
1/3 cup dry Italian red wine from the wine rack
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano from the garden
1/2 teaspoon dried basil from the garden
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/4 cup fresh heavy cream
salt and pepper to taste
Start a pot of water to boil for the pasta. Add the salt AFTER the water starts boiling.

In a large saucepan saut?the yellow onion, garlic cloves, and green bell pepper in the olive oil, over moderately high heat. Stir occasionally until the vegetables begin to brown. Do not burn them. If you do, start over again. Add the Italian sausage pieces, can of tomatoes with juice, red wine, oregano, basil, and sugar. Boil the mixture gently, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes.

To the pot of boiling salted water, add the spaghetti and cook until it is al dente. Then drain it well. To the tomato mixture add the cream, salt and pepper to taste. Simmer the sauce for 5 minutes, or until it is thickened slightly. Spoon the delicious sauce over your pasta. Serve with fresh grated cheese and Italian bread.

This very tasty dish is quite easy to make. Exciting flavors! About an hour from start to finish, if you have all the ingredients.

To get rid of moth ball smell
My husband worked for many years loading and unloading the big trailers and he found the best thing to get rid of any odor was sprinkling coffee grounds in the area. " Works every time," he says.

I just bought a jar of whole hearts of palm, and now I wonder what to do with them! Recipes welcome.
Thank you. Alex


Hi Nancy, received your chicken recipes and love them, thanks so much. This recipe is for Judy, it won't use up 200 lbs of squash but it is delicious.

I cut the sauce into various sizes depending on cooking times, I use turnip as well and of course it takes longer to cook, so I cut it small, carrots about an inch.

Grease a 9x13 pan lightly ( or any size desired). Put a layer of mixed squash, sprinkle with brown sugar, parsley and dot with butter. Depending on how many you are serving do 2 to 3 layers, cover with foil and bake for approx 40-45 minutes.

This is really delicious and oh so pretty in the fall. Hope you try it.

Feta cheese is only one of several cheeses that can be made from goat's milk. Others can include chevre, cheddar, Swiss, colby, camellia, crottin, bucheret, etc. Recipes calling for goat cheese usually mean chevre.

Goat cheese us easier on the digestive system and lower in calories, cholesterol and fat than cheese made from cow's milk. It is also rich in calcium, protein, vitamin A, vitamin K, phosphorus, niacin and thiamin.
Here you have it - probably much more than anyone really wanted to know about goat cheese.
Raine

Feta cheese IS NOT goat cheese, but good feta cheese, usually made in Europe and imported to the USA, is made with goats milk! USA-made feta cheese is commonly made with cow's milk. European feta is usually higher priced than domestic feta. For true feta, check the package for listed ingredients before purchasing.

To add to the list of Basic Creme Pies, I offer this Tofu Almond Creme Pie that is creamy and delectable. It has as many variations as there are flavors of extracts. In place of almond try coconut, lemon, orange, banana .... When I make it with banana, I also add some sliced bananas, and no one can tell that it is made with tofu.

Crust:
12 2-1/2 inch graham cracker squares, crushed (3 oz graham cracker crumbs)
3 tbsp margarine, melted

Filling:
9 ounces tofu, sliced, drained well between paper towels
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
3 eggs
1 cup evaporated skim milk
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp almond extract
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp sugar (or sweetener equivalent to 15 tsp sugar)

Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Combine crust ingredients in a 9-inch pie pan. Mix well, until crumbs are moistened. Press crumbs onto bottom and sides of pan to form a crust.
Bake 8 minutes. Cool slightly.

In a blender container, combine all the filling ingredients. Blend until smooth. Pour into cooled crust.
Bake 25 minutes, until set. Chill

Each of 8 servings provides 225 calories (if sugar is used as the sweetener), 10 g protein, 10 g fat, 23 g carbohydrate, 202 mg sodium, and 109 mg cholesterol, equal to 1 protein serving, 3/4 bread serving 1 fat serving, 1/4 milk serving

Hi Nancy, what a great newsletter, keep it up, Does anyone have some TNT recipes for gluten free scones or maybe a favorite gluten free. recipes to share.
Toni in Canada


This recipe is for Corinne in Pittsburgh.

Venison Bundles
1-1 1/2 pounds venison loin, sliced thin
3 T. butter or margarine
1/2 C. fresh mushrooms, chopped
1/2 C. green pepper, chopped
1/2 C. yellow pepper, chopped
1/2 C. red pepper, chopped
1 C. frozen hash browns, thawed
garlic powder to taste
2 sheets refrigerated pie pastry
1 egg, beaten
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 C. milk

Remove pie pastry from refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature. In large skillet, brown thin-sliced venison in 3 T. butter and 2 T. oil. Remove and keep warm. In skillet, saut?mushrooms and onions for several minutes. Add garlic powder. Add peppers and hash browns and saut?until liquid is absorbed.

Unfold pie pastry and place layer of venison in middle. Spread half of the mixture of onions, peppers, mushrooms, and hash browns on top of venison. Fold opposite corners of pastry over and pinch seams to seal tightly. Repeat with other pie pastry.
Place bundles in greased 15x10x1 inch baking pan. Brush egg over pastry and bake at 450 degrees for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Add 1/2 C. milk to can of mushroom soup, heat and stir until smooth. To serve, slice bundles and pour mushroom soup mixture over bundles. This is the best recipe I have eaten with venison in it. It sounds like a lot of work but it goes quicker than you think. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family has.

A quick note! Do not overcook venison because the longer you cook it the tougher it gets.
