Hello Nancy & Gang,
For Sue and Betty T in Ga-Yes, you can freeze milk-any percent (1%, whole,
etc), whipping cream, and half & half-can be frozen and will have the same
taste when thawed. Just make sure it is fresh (check the date), shake well
after thawing, and place in a plastic bag (from grocery) to freeze so if
there should be a leak around the seal, it will be in the bag. My DH works
for the dairy and we do it all the time! *Tip-use half & half in pancakes,
waffles, breads, and biscuits and muffins for a light delicious taste.
Lisa-yeah, we leave about 2 days worth of breakfast items in fridge at a
time-works great, I we LOVE that day old bread rack-it is great for toast,
hot sandwiches (breakfast and others), croutons and as you all know, I
believe in warm bread with pasta, soup, and salad!!
Camille, glad you liked the Chick Chick Soup-I throw stuff together all
the time, and it usually comes out good, like this for instance.
Oriental Express Dip
8 oz cream cheese-soft
16 oz sour cream
8 oz cheese-any
2 bunches green onions-fine chop
1 jar Hormel bacon bits
1/2 c shredded carrots
1 red pepper-fine chop
8 oz can pineapple tidbits-drain well
Ritz crackers
Pat pineapple with towels. Blend cream cheese and sour cream and mix all
ingredients together-chill 1 hour and serve with Ritz.
*Tootie has gone back home, so it is just me again!

Hello Nancy, fur babies and the rest of Nancyland. Boy is it frigid out
there, wow. Wind chill factor here is suppose to be -14 tonight. In the
Jan. 18th newsletter, Tina from KS was looking for cabbage soup recipes.
Here's mine
Cabbage Patch Soup
3 lbs. lean ground beef
4 (14.5 oz) cans stewed tomatoes
4 (15 oz) cans kidney beans
6 medium onions, sliced thin
1 cup celery, chopped
4 cups cabbage, coarsely chopped
3 cups water
3 teas. salt
2 Tbls. Old Bay seafood seasoning
4 teas. chili powder
1 teas. cinnamon
Brown ground beef. Drain. Put all ingredients in a large pot. Heat to
boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour. Stir occasionally. Serve
Enjoy Barb - La Porte, IN
In response to Gerry in MD (1/18/08), yes, the Egg McMom recipe
was recommended for freezing. I don't remember ever refrigerating them as
we either ate them or froze them for later. One tip about freezing foods -
vacuum sealing keeps all frozen food better. If you don't have one of the
sealers, a good substitute is to place your wrapped food in zipper bags,
and using a straw, insert it in the package and zip up to it. Then you can
suck the air right out through the straw. (I know, it sounds gross, but it
really isn't and it works.)
Barbara in AL
Oh how I agree with Mert, there just is nothing like a fresh brown
egg. The flavor and richness of brown eggs are so much better. I hope
all is well with everyone and especially you Nancy.
Blessings, Iris in Va.
Beef Burgonoinne Extraordinare
1-1/2 lbs chuck roast, cut into cubes
1 can (10 oz) French onion soup
1 can (10-3/4 oz) Golden Mushroom soup
1 cup sweet vermouth
Heat oven to 350 degrees. In skillet, brown meat and place in 3 qt
casserole. Add remaining ingredients. Cover and bake for 3 hours. Serve
over noodles.
NOTE: Use beef stew meat if you wish.
grannym IL
Doris, S. Indiana in also sent in the same recipe. She added the following
note to it. grannyM IL, I'm wondering if you ever made your Beef
Burgonoinne Extraordinaire in a crockpot? My DH really liked this dish so
I will be wanting to make it this summer without using the oven. Thanks
for the information on sweet vermouth. I didn't know to put the bottle in
the fridge!! Fortunately, sweet vermouth is not expensive.
Salmon Patties
1 can (15-16 oz) salmon
1 egg
1/3 cup minced onion
1/2 cup flour
1-1/2 tsp. baking soda
Drain salmon and set aside 2 Tbsp. of juice. In a bowl, mix the salmon,
egg and onion until it is sticky. Stir in the flour. Add baking soda to
the 2 Tbsp. of juice and stir to mix it. Then add the baking soda mixture
to the salmon mixture. Stir to mix it all well. You can drop it into hot
oil, or you can pat it into a patty.
Linda NM
For Karen in Ohio, you could select the recipe, copy, and then paste
into Word and then print. Shouldn't have any brown eating up your ink
then.
Susan in GA
For Sue, I freeze milk all the time when we get ready to leave
on a trip and I have milk in the refrigerator. It freezes fine. Just
remember that milk expands when it freezes , so I would worry if you
placed a full gallon (or full quart) that it might push off the lid and
freeze right out of the bottle. Just drink a little off the top before you
put it in the freezer...and freeze it standing upright or on its side if
you have a tight fitting lid. To defrost, leave in the refrigerator for a
day or two and it will be ready to pour and drink again.
Jan in (cold) Texas
I made a cake from a recipe I got from the newsletter. I've finally
found a dessert that is almost too rich for me! It is exceedingly
rich. Using white syrup and also brown sugar should have given me a clue?
LOL I think I'm ready for Weight Watchers!
Doris, S. Indiana
For Sue, Yes you can freeze any kind of milk except cream. Cream
gets a funny texture. If you do it in the original container pour off a
little to leave room for expansion. Learned this from a friend who was
over seas and couldn't get out to the commissary as much as she needed. My
90 year old aunt started doing it because she doesn't use up her milk
before it spoiled and it saves her from going out in bad weather.
Theresa in MI
To Tina from KS,
This is really good. I make it often. Barb, Fla.

Hello Nancy I just wanted to let you know of a site I found that will
make GLUTEN FREE be so much easier. My husband has had this problem all
his life but was not diagnosed till he was 35 years old. Well it was a
trip to feed him but things are better in the last 30 years and now this
new site is out of this world helpful.
I just wanted to share it with all the other people that have family and
friends that suffer with this problem. Thanks and have a great day.

Could you use wontons in the Beef and Cheddar Puffs instead of
cresaunts
Thanks Kathy from Fl
For Sue
From January 18
Yes, you can freeze milk. We it quite often if we ae going
vacation, etc. All types of milk well. Upon thawing there will be
separation but a little shaking gets that taken care of immediately. It
tastes just as good as fresh milk. I have had some frozen for several
months because I forgot it was there.
The only caution is, if you are using brand new bottles make sure you open
it pour at least 1/2 C and use for something. This will give it "head
space" so when it freezes and expands you want have a messy freezer.
Good luck to you, Rosemarie in rural Kansas City

Hi, Nancy and furry family! This is for Betty in GA who asked about
freezing milk. Although I don't know if they recommend it, I used to
freeze gallons of milk years back when my son was little and we were on
the WIC program. Because they required that we purchase multiple gallons
at once because of the nature of the program, we had no choice but to
freeze one or more gallons in order to not lose them. The only difference
we really saw was that the cream would separate out like old fashioned
milk and we'd have to shake the carton or bottle (plastic) before pouring.
The taste was the same and we did nothing else different. I don't know
about the heavier milk products, though (half and half, cream, etc.) Maybe
you ought to buy a half-pint or pint and freeze it just to see how it is
when you thaw it. But, I wouldn't be afraid to freeze regular milk if I
needed to.
Wendy, S NJ
To Bart,Fl in Jan 15, 2008 newsletter:
In your Cream Cheese Crockpot Chicken recipe, do you think boneless
chicken breasts would work just as well? Any adjustments you could think
of if used?
Also, for you or anyone else: if I don't want to use Cream of Chicken soup
in a can (as in this recipe) what else could I substitute?
Thanks in advance.
Anna
Fellow bakers:
Would any of you happen to have a "clone" recipe for any of the
huge delicious muffins that they serve at the Perkins
Restaurants? Some of the flavors are, apple cinnamon, peach, blueberry
etc. They are so moist and have such a wonderful flavor. Thank you in
advance. Stay warm.

This is for Linda from PA. My son suggested adding mayo to my mashed
potatoes 2 years ago. I haven’t made mashed potatoes any other way
since. The mayo adds creaminess & a new taste. (Even my 12 year old
grandson asks if I made the mayo mashed potatoes). I just add a soup spoon
size dollop along with butter & warmed milk.
PJ in MB
From: Hi Everyone: I have a request my dbf brought pablano chilies that
he thought were bell peppers anyone have any TNT recipes using these
chilies.
Thank You. Jeanie sunny California
Lucky you to have the perfect pepper for Chili Rellenos. This is
very simple; make a simple pancake batter or a beer batter that you
prefer. Carefully slice the chiles open and depending on how hot you want
them remove some or all of the seeds. Remember to wear gloves or wash your
hands very well for if you touch your face you will have problems. The oil
really irritates the skin especially in the eye area.
Put in a nice chunk of Monterey Jack or if you like it spicy try pepper
jack cheese. Close up and dip into the batter and pan fry till peppers are
softened and the coating is a lovely golden brown. These are great served
with some honey or some like sour cream.
I even love them cold the day after with a great cup of coffee. I am
envious of you and hope you enjoy your dbf brought you the peppers.
If you like you can chop them up and flavor your Mexican recipes with
them. You can even freeze them for later. Hope this helps.
Detz in MI
This is for Betty G. in Ga. When I was a girl we had really hard
winters. My mom always bought extra gallons of milk to freeze. It can be
any kind (whole, 2% etc,) The trick is to remove a cup or so first. This
leaves room for the container to expand. Thaw setting in sink. Shake it
and when it feels like there is still ice about the size of your fist,
refridge it. Each time you use, shake first because cream rises to top.

Hello everyone
Thought I would share two of our favorite sauces. The kids really love the
Peach Dipping Sauce when we have baked chicken strips. I have just poured
it all on top of the boneless skinless chicken strips before I baked
them...very good that way too.
As for me, I love the blackberry bbq sauce. I love just about anything
with blackberries. They are my favorite fruit. I usually have a blackberry
cobbler instead of a cake for my birthday.
Make it a great day!
Lisa (East Texas)
Peach Dipping Sauce for Chicken Strips
16 oz jar of peach preserves
1/4 c Dijon mustard

1/8 c brown sugar
1/8 t cayenne
1/4 t mustard powder
2 T red wine vinegar
In a medium mixing bowl, mix together all ingredients. Use on chicken,

I had a left over pie crust in the freezer so I decided to make this
recipe rather then make a pie. Not hard to make, especially if you have
pie crust in the freezer. It is definitely a "keeper".

Good morning Nancy and all Nancylanders,
Well, we have typical Wisconsin weather here today- 17 below zero with 30
below wind chill. Thank you all for the suggestions on treating my cat
not to bite. To Kathy in NC- no he is not an only cat - I also have a
female his same age. I think he plays with the female by biting her gently
so he thinks that's the way to play with everyone or else this is just a
male cat trait. He is so lazy lol - he let's the female clean his face
then he bites
her on her ear lol.
Never heard of this in cat's but my vet said my male cat has hay fever of
all things. Thank you all in Nancyland for all the wonderful recipes and a
big thanks and hug to Nancy for all the time you take keeping us recipe
hounds happy lol.

I have 2 kittens that we recently got. One (male) that uses the litter box
and the other (female) will not use the litter box. She does her business
everywhere. We keep putting her in the litter box to show her but she
seems to like to go where ever she wants. Any help on why or what I can
do? This has been going on for 2 weeks now....HELP.
Laurie~ muskegon,MI
=====================
Good Morning, I have been seeing the comments about the biting cat. We had
that problem with our late cat, Molly. We used the squirt bottle with
plain water and it seemed to work well. We have a new kitty now.
She came from a cat "orphanage". She was in a room with 8 or 10 other cats
while she was there. We brought her home a week ago. We have gotten her
used to us and she will play and come to us, etc. The problem is that she
will not come out of the room. We leave the door open and have tried to
coax her out. We have picked her up and brought her out and she gets all
nervous and runs back in. Does anybody have any suggestions what we can
do. She is a lovely cat and we would like to enjoy her other than in her
room.
Thanks and Nancy we enjoy all of your cat stories.
Marilyn in Ohio
Hi Nancy and all,
My cat bites when I play with him and I hiss at him like the mother cat
would do that is how they discipline their kittens and he stops. I read
this some where, and when he gets into things he shouldn't I hiss at him.
I tried the water spray bottle but it was always some where else when I
needed it!
