Easiest and best macaroni and cheese. This recipe appeared about a week ago, has anyone else made it? I see someone said they did and it was dry.
Thanks, Boots in Va.


Thanks to all that sent in recipes for chicken fingers. They are a favorite meal of mine as my husband doesn't care for chicken but will eat it this style. I also like the honey-mustard dipping sauce but prefer a sweet - sour dipping sauce. I usually purchase the bottled kind but would love an easy recipe to make at home. Hopefully it can also be used for sweet and sour chicken or pork as that's a favorite of mine. Thanks in advance.

I wanted to Respond to: help, I need to know how to get transmission oil out of sweatshirts, I've tried spray and wash, oxyclean, and liquid automatic dishwashing soap to no avail. They are still there. Robert's wife in Ohio I'm in LOVE with a product called Stainz-R-Out, I get it on HSN, but I'm sure you can get it other places. I'm thinking I've seen it at Bed, Bath and Beyond. When all else fails this one does it every time. Even gets paint out of my husbands clothing. Best of all the Product is safe, made from Banana Oil. Thank You Nancy for all your hard work.....I know you will be blessed for all this giving of your time and info, you have sure blessed all of us!

My hubby and I use a low-fat or fat-free mayonnaise for different food items & recipes. However, all of the low-fat mayonnaises we have found are really thin and watery. So, since there has been all the talk about Miracle Whip, is there anything that we could do to make our mayonnaise thicker and/or less watery?
Thanks so much in advance, Karen T.


Thanks, Sharon in SD. I planted my horseradish tops and scrapings and within 10 days they are already sprouted!! Saved me going and trying to find roots for planting. Now to wait till next spring to harvest them, or will they be ready this coming fall? Thanks!

I made some macaroni and cheese from the box, but changed the directions a little and turned out not too bad. I sprayed a casserole dish, then melted a couple of tablespoon margarine and mixed it with the dry macaroni from the pkg. and then added the cheese pkg, and added 2 and 1 /2 cups milk and baked it at 350 for 1 hr and 15 min or till done. Much better than the directions on the box and simple and quick.

Thank you for including the search thing at the top of this newsletter.  I appreciate it.

It works well for any recipe posted a month to 6 weeks ago but does not work well for recent recipes in the newsletter.

Sittin Beer Can Chicken Steamer  (with.. demonstration.. video)


For Dee who was needing suggestions about 50th anniversary. My son and daughter-in-law did mine. They bought chicken wings (drummets), served crackers with a cheese ball, a good punch, nuts, mints and assortments of vegetables with a dip in center. We had it at our Church. They took three tables, placed two at the top horizontal, and on table coming down the middle of the two vertical covered in white table clothes covered with gold lama. They put a beautiful tall bouquet of flowers on the vertical table which centered the tables. It looked kinda like a cross from the front. Their were several punch recipes in yesterday the 11th newsletter, I think! Make it simple, but beautiful!

In the front of the hall, they displayed pictures of me and my husband and it was also a place to receive presents.
I hope this helps! Betty T. Ga.


For Dee in SIL who is planning a 50th wedding anniversary here are a few ideas. I suppose you have already thought of getting help from family members? How about children, they are always ready to help with decorating, even teens, including drawing pictures and making banners. You may already have things around your house that could be used for decorations including candles and vases with home grown or homemade flowers, maybe from a few blossoming shrubs in your area, or "force" a few blooms from the shrubs ahead of time.

If you don't know how the library will have a book to tell you. I have seen homemade flags and if you or another person can use a sewing machine you could make a 50th anniversary flag and hang it out front or inside. Don't buy fabric, recycle. You could ask your parent's friends for pictures of your parents, or stories of their good old days together or how they met, they could write it on a card and could tack them up on a posterboard. When you call to ask for these things they may ask if there is anything they can do.

Be prepared to say, would you like to bring ...... sandwiches, cookies or whatever you are having. I find most people are more than happy to cook as long as they don't have to do the whole party. If not, I'd make some small sandwiches, egg salad is always popular and inexpensive, I just saw Paula Deen making shredded cucumbers, onion and cream cheese sandwiches and that would make lots of filling. Nuts are kind of expensive and I bet you could get more bang for your buck with other things. A single bed sheet makes a fine tablecloth and if you have an extra one, or buy a cheap new one, give your guests a Sharpie, gold would be nice, and let them autograph it for your parents. It beats an autograph book which will end up in the closet. Best of luck.
Betty in ME


Dee in SIL a suggestion would be in the invitations to have everyone bring a long stem flower of their choice and place in vases all around the room. We attended a 80th birthday party for a friend and that is what her children had everyone bring and then on Sunday, they used them on the altar of their church.

Hi Nancy and Furbabies,
This is in response to Bunnie, CO. I called the Wal-mart customer service number that was given to me by the lady in the fabric dept at our Wal-mart.

After waiting thru several "push this, push that", I did get thru to a human. She told me that no decision had been made yet to close ALL fabric depts, but that most are being planned that way.

The lady in the local store told me that they plan to continue to sell remnants but not cut to order fabrics.

I have a feeling that they are planning to cater to quilters more that anything else. I told her exactly what I thought of that-too long to put here-and she said that she would forward my thoughts to higher ups(for what that is worth). I sew a lot for my 15-month old granddaughter and don't think that remnants are what I am going to be looking for. I then have to drive approx. 45 minutes to the nearest fabric shop.

Hope somebody can change their minds.
Jean in NC


Correction: To Lois (and Jen)(5/10-11), my Triple Chocolate Mess recipe is not in the May 07 list as previously noted, but rather the April 07 recipe list under Crockpot category with "Crockpot Triple Mess" title.
Barbara in AL


Last week I baked a cake that I feel sure I got from your site. I lost it !! It had 2-1/2 cups prepared mincemeat and 1 can of tomato soup. It was more then delicious. What is the link for the recipe?
Thanks in advance...Jean D


For Dee, SIL:
I have several punch recipes in the May 9 newsletter, which serve large numbers.
grannym IL


To Dee who is planning a 50th wedding anniversary for her parents. This is a delicious punch which is very inexpensive. I use it because it makes a huge amount and is cheap, but it can be scaled down.

Punch
10 packages orange Kool-aid
sugar
water
2 large cans pineapple juice
3 2-liter bottles of Sprite or ginger ale (I buy what is on sale)
1 bucket orange-vanilla swirl ice cream

Make Kool-aid according to package directions, using appropriate amount of sugar and water. Mix in pineapple juice. When ready to serve, put about 1/3 ice cream in punch bowl, add kool-aid pineapple juice. Pour over 1 bottle of Sprite.

Note: This makes approximately 8 gallons. Serves about 125=150 people. I change the kool-aid to strawberry sometimes. Orange makes a gold punch.


To Dee in SIL. for your Mom and Dad's anniversary, why not have a wedding picture of their enlarged. Put a mat around it, and place it on a table where the people come in. Put a pen down for all to sign either a small message or just their names. And then have it framed for them as their gift afterwards. Many years from now, they will still be looking at it, and sayin, hmmm I didn't see so and so, but I know that they were their. I know that they would really like this. Hope you do too.

Nancy the newsletter 5/11 had many chicken recipes that I copied and I want to thank all the people that sent them in. We have to get back to eating more chicken and fish so that we our weight goes down. Hopefully all mother, aunts and grandmothers have a Happy Mothers Day.

To JMR in the 5/11 newsletter was looking for a Beer Cheese Soup and I have a couple. The first soup recipe I have used when we are having friends over and having just soup, crackers and assorted fruits. That way everyone can serve themselves.

The Easiest Crock Pot Beer Cheese Soup
3 can cheddar cheese soup
2 can cream of celery soup
1 cup milk
7 oz. beer

Combine all ingredients. Cook in Crock Pot for 4 hours on low. Make sure to stir at least once.

A friend gave me this recipe and it is good but cheesy.

Cheesiest Beer Cheese Soup
2 cans cheddar cheese soup
1 can nacho cheese soup
1, 1 lb., brick Velveeta cheese
2 medium potato, diced
1 medium onion, chopped
3/4 can flat beer
add water as needed

Boil potatoes and onion. Drain off most of water, leaving about 1/4 of potatoes covered. Add cheese soups, chunks of Velveeta and beer. Mix together until cheese has melted, add water as desired for thickness.

A friend was out West and got this recipe for

Beer Cheese Soup
2 can cream of celery soup
1 can beer
1 lb. grated Cheddar Cheese
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon paprika
croutons

Put all ingredients in crock pot except croutons. Cook on high 2 hours stirring occasionally. Top with crouton before serving.
For variety add 1 cup steam fresh broccoli for a Broccoli Cheese Soup

I have made this Beer Cheese Soup because I like the flavor of the green onions in this one.

Susie's Beer Cheese Soup
1/2 stick butter
1/4 cup chopped green onions, use green part also
3 to 4 tablespoon flour
1-3/4 cup chicken broth
1-2/3 cups undiluted evaporated milk
1, 12 oz., can beer
1, 8 oz., jar processed cheese spread or more cheese or 1 can cheddar cheese soup or both
1-1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire

Melt the butter in a large pan. Add the chopped onions cooking until onions just begin to wilt. Remove pan from heat and stir in the four. Return to stove and cook the mixture about a minutes or 2 so the flour taste is gone. Gradually stir in the chicken broth, 1 2/3 cups undiluted evaporated milk, the beer, cheese spread, cheese soup and 1½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce. Cook over medium heat until mixture just comes to a boil. Serve with popcorn sprinkle over top. I serve it with add green onion and no popcorn.

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

The May11 newsletter had a request for recipes for the George Foreman grill and several chicken tenders recipes that were baked in the oven.
.
The Foreman grill makes juicy delicious tenders and it only takes 5 or 6 minutes depending on the wattage of your grill.

Nancy, a few days ago I was thinking that we had not heard from Gail in Winnfield, LA for sometime. At that time she was going on a diet. Is this Gail still with us? Do we have a success story?

HI,
I'm looking for a garlic butter sauce recipe that is on the tilapia fish I have been purchasing at Sams. Unfortunately, I threw the box it came in away because the individual packages take up less space than storing them in the box in the freezer. I believe the sauce is a garlic butter base with diced yellow and red peppers. I'm not sure what else it has in it. It is not a thin sauce. My husband likes the fish a lot and I would like to be able to duplicate it since it is a seasonal item at Sams.

Thanks, Jae, in central Oklahoma, where it has stopped raining, finally! Over 10 inches so far this month!


This is for Kim who was asking for chicken recipes. We make this one all the time. It's easy and sooo good.

Dale's Chicken Marinade
2/3 cup Country Time Lemonade Powder (I use the cheap stuff too)
8 oz. bottle Italian dressing
2 tsp. black pepper

Mix together and marinate chicken tenders in refrigerator all day. Cook on grill and devour! I prefer to use chicken tenders as opposed to chicken breast, because they seem to have a better flavor. Guess because they are smaller and absorb more!

This recipe is from my friends husband who does a lot of cooking. I envy woman who have husbands who can cook!

I am behind again reading but have always loved Tona's recipes and someone today said they enjoyed reading about her life. Can I get a date to read that, please?

Hi Nancy & kitties: For Kim-5/9 request for chicken breast tenders or boneless chicken:
Here is a quick and easy and very good recipe my daughter on Staten Island gave me:

Boneless chicken cutlets, cut into pieces that can be fried within about 4 minutes on each side.

I would say about 4 to 5 " long and or wide and about 1 to 1-1/2 inches thick. They are very easy
to cut into desired sizes.

I set up 3 small soup bowls on my counter.
# 1- flour
# 2- milk mixed with egg (don't worry to much about amount of milk)
# 3-pretty good amount of Italian Bread Crumbs

Cut & wet chicken cutlets with water.

Using a fork, dip each in the flour, milk/egg mixture and then the bread crumbs in that order. Fry in Canola oil, warm enough to bubble when chicken is placed in oil.
Brown about 4 minutes on each side, depending on size of cutlet. Do not overcook. You can cut into the chicken to see if all the pink has gone. I always check the thicker pieces in this manner. Remove to a plate with paper towel on it, to drain off a little of the fat. Then you can transfer to a nice serving plate.

I have also added at times, a little garlic or parmesan cheese to the crumbs, just for a little variation. These are delicious, and very easy. Usually not many left over, but they are good cold too.

Also would like to thank Bunnie and all the other folks who wrote in regarding letting the cat out. I'm so glad that I mentioned it, as I was about to let him loose . Just didn't want to cope with the spraying again. But, have decided to stick with the leash, as he just will not settle down to not being let out. He runs from door to door, and soon will start spraying or just dropping a spot of urine at the door, if we don't come when he beckons us!

I'm so sorry that many of you have learned the hard way. He has been a big expense, as I have had to buy numerous cleaners, spray type odor removers, and even had to hire a carpenter to replace two sections of our wood floors. I did the latter when we thought he was all over the problem, but now he is back at it again. I do think the Buspar is helping though and plan to leave him on it only a few weeks. We also had to paint the walls, doors , woodwork, etc. Do we love him? I guess we surely do! I thought I had two females when I got them from a barn at about 6 weeks old in 2000. He had so much long hair, that even the vet had a hard time finding out. Anyway, I agree with the lady who says her next cat will be female. My other female, Siamese (also from the barn) gives us no problem whatsoever, about going out, peeing, etc. These two cats will no doubt, outlive my husband and I, and we have to think about that. We need to plan for a good home for the both of them, but I really don't know who would want a long haired black and white male cat who sometimes sprays and pees but is so darn lovable! It is going to be a problem,but we will care for them as long as we can.

I was wondering about the baby powder keeping the fleas away that someone suggested. Does it harm the cat in anyway, if he licks it off, which he would
be apt to do.

I tried the Orange Soak Cake, and it was very good and very easy. I'm going to try the Lemon Supreme Cake Mix, and use Lemon Juice in place of the Orange juice for the glaze mixture. I think it will be great. Sorry I have rambled on for so long, and thank you Nancy for letting us talk about all our other big and little problems. Reponses from our large family of recipe lovers, surely help us cope with so many things.

To all the wonderful friends that responded regarding the death of Jack, my wonderful husband, I am overwhelmed by the love and showing of support. I knew how wonderful and caring all Nancy's group is but was not expecting such responses.

I do have a great local net of support friends, and some special special ones on the internet that I couldn't do without, especially my "bestest' friend in NH.

I know it will take time and with Gods grace, will get through it. The prayers of friends and family do help me and I can often feel that they are being offered on my behalf so keep it up.

Yes, the puppy will be a great help as he keeps me busy but still to not have anyone to talk with and a reason to cook a meal.

I do keep busy and volunteer with a group of special needs individuals . We provide year round activities for these individuals and that does occupy me when I am not at work to a point.

I appreciate all the suggestions and offers of sympathy and God bless all of you.
