Hi Nancy,
I have a request for a recipe that my mother used to make back in the 50's and 60's.

She called it hash but as I look for hash recipes they always call for potatoes and there were no potatoes in it. Here is what I remember from the recipe. It has leftover roast beef (shredded) and either water or left over beef broth (maybe a mixture of both) with a flour/water thickener. I do not remember anything else in it. She would
cook it in a skillet and when it was thickened she served it over biscuits. I do not know what it is called, that is why I am having a hard time locating a recipe. Thank for your help.

Hi Nancy, furkids and Landers,
Lynn FL/WI submitted a recipe for "Pumpkin Cake" in the 2/12/13 newsletter.

Someone had written and asked for a couple clarifications about the recipe. If Lynn responded, I must have missed it. Could she please specify what size can of pumpkin she uses and, for the frosting, what size box of vanilla instant pudding mix she uses.
Thanks. Jan in MO

Thank you so much for putting the recipes using baby food. I remember making many of these recipes a long time ago.  Plan to make them again soon.  The best thing about using baby food in cakes is it makes them so moist.

This recipe is always creamy, never dry.

Creamy 3 Cheese Pasta

1 can (10 3/4 ounces) Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup or 1 Jar
Alfredo Sauce (I use Ragu double cheddar cheese sauce)

1 package (8 ounces) shredded two-cheese blend or shredded sharp cheddar (about 2
cups)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese over the top
2 cups milk plus one cup of fat free half and half (rinse out bottle to get all of sauce)

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 lb elbows or rotini cooked al dente and drained
Can add 2 cups cooked chicken, ham, steamed broccoli, etc.for a complete meal

Sprinkle top of casserole with mozzarella cheese and grated parmesan cheese.

Stir the soup or cheese sauce, cheeses, milk and black pepper and pasta, plus any additions, in a mixing bowl and transfer to baking pan sprayed with non-stick spray. I use a retro Corningware pan about 10 x 14 inches.

Bake uncovered at 400°F. for 20 minutes or until the pasta mixture is hot and
bubbling.

Hi everyone. I'm looking for recipes made with baby food. I'm wondering if cookies could be made from the baby cereals? Thanks.

I had a number of recipes that used baby food. Had one with cereal.  Took the opportunity to post them yesterday.

Robbie IN, you really made my day today! The weather here is terrible, my car wouldn't start and left me stranded and standing in rain/sleet. So, when I got home and saw that you had found the recipes for HobNobs, I actually yelled Yippee! It's not that they are so delicious as they are healthy for me. A source of fiber that I will actually eat, and the chocolate (I like milk chocolate) gives it the right touch.

Expensive to buy, so I'm glad I can make my own. Thank you so much. Yes, I believe they are popular in England. I bought them while in the England portion of Epcot. I also appreciated the explanation about salt. I now have both kosher and sea salt. It is great that you share your knowledge with our group. I totally rely on the newsletter for information because I know it is from experience.

I'm hoping everyone is safe and warm tonight and that we don't lose power with all the ice coming down.

Chocolate Pudding Cake
8 Servings

1 cup All Purpose Flour
2 1/4 cup Sugar,Divided
1/2 cup Cocoa, Unsweetened (Prepared Pantry)
2 tsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp Salt
3/4 cup Milk
1/4 cup Melted Butter, Divided
1 tsp Vanilla
1 1/2 cup Water

[Note: This cake batter is thick and must be spread over the pan for best results. The
cake bubbles throughout the cooking process, creating holes in the top of the cake. Serve this gooey dessert with a spoon. Would be great with creme fraiche, gobs of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream]

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup, level with a knife. Sift together flour, 3/4 cup sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and salt over a large bowl. Add milk, 3 tablespoons butter, and vanilla, stirring until smooth. Set aside.

Combine 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1 1/2 cups water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil,
stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat.

Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet in a 375 degree oven for 15 minutes. Place 1 tablespoon butter in preheated pan, swirling to evenly coat pan. Add batter, spreading evenly over pan. Pour water mixture slowly over batter, do not stir (mixture will bubble). Bake at 375 for 28 minutes or until cake is set. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Re: Prune Whip
Traditional prune whip is made with egg whites.

Here’s my easy version.
I put some whipped cream in a small bowl and add a pack/jar of baby prunes/plums and a bit of sweetener, stir it up and enjoy. Not traditional, but very quick and easy.

Hi everyone,
I am wondering if any of the great cooks in Nancyland have a tnt recipe for Italian Cream Cake cake balls or Italian Cream Cake cupcakes. I am thinking for the cupcakes it would be okay to make up the normal cake recipe and divide it into the muffin tins and bake less time, but I wanted to see what everyone comes up with. I have a
co-worker with a birthday this week and I though I would surprise her with one of these, rather than a cake.
Thanks, Vickie, SE Texas
