Hi Nancy and all,
I don't remember who it was or when it was, but a reader asked about Low Carb dieting and if it were OK to now go on the diet. I've been on Low Carb on and off for over 6 years and my cardiologist says it's OK for me. I had been on Lipator, but my last readings were so good, he is weaning me off. If you are thinking of Low Carb you might try this link
http://www.LowCarbResource.com!

The history of Low Carb might be copied and taken to your doctor if he disapproves of the "diet". There are a lot of skeptics, but if you look at the history and read Dr. Eads Protein Power, it make a lot of sense.

I had a great recipe sent to me the is Low Carb but everyone can enjoy. The original recipe used tortilla as a crust for this! However--I'm sending a Low Carb version--

Breakfast Quiche
Sprinkle 8oz. shredded cheddar in a Pam sprayed glass pie plate
Sprinkle 4oz. can drained green chilies over cheese
(the 2nd time I made this I added 1 C. chopped chicken here) delish!

Mix 3 beaten eggs with 1/4 t. ground cumin, 1/4 t. chili powder
1/4 t. onion flakes, (1/8 t. salt--I omit because of sodium in cheese)

Gently pour over cheese mixture and bake at 350* for 30-40 min. I plan on using whatever meat I have when serving this for other meals besides breakfast. We like it with and without meat. I used the chicken because it needed to be used and I think I like it better than the plain. My DH loved it and it saves me on his mess at the stove when he fixes his own eggs! Sorry this is so long. Thanks for all your efforts in keeping this going in all the adversity you have had to face.

Hi all,
In the 80's there was this great recipe for the "BUNDT" pan that had broken up chocolate toffee bars in it. You put in the batter, then the toffee bars, then more batter. It was great! Doe anyone have this old recipe?

Thanks in advance,
Dee in N.CA


For Trish in Fl. for the recipe for peanut butter cookies, did you forget to put in flour? I haven't tried them, but could not believe they did not have flour. For Kathy, Fl. about frying chicken in deep fryer. My husband fries cornish hens. He salts and peppers them, inside and out. Drops them into his deep fryer, and when the hen pops to the top, it is done.Be sure and check and remove livers, necks and gizzards from inside the hen after you have thawed them out before frying.
Thanks for all the biscuit recipes you sent in.
Betty T, Ga.

Hi Nancy and fellow newsletter readers, this is for Anna in Mo. 2-11 newsletter. I have the amish Friendship Bread Recipe also the starter recipe. Found the Bread but not the starter after going thru 3 recipe boxes and about 5 cookbooks. Finally "lite came on". Went to Ask Jeeves and found the recipe, starter, and list of reminders on....
www.danielhughes.net/friendship_bread

Also found an old recipe I haven't made in a while:

Idiot Biscuits
3 ounce pkg. cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 Cup butter, room temperature
1 Cup flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients in bowl and knead with hands. Roll dough into balls the size of golf balls. Pat each ball and flatten into biscuit shape. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Margaret, Tulsa


This is for Anna in Mo requesting the Amish Friendship Bread Starter in the 2-11 newsletter. If she will go the www.recipegoldmine.com scroll down the page to Amish Recipes and click on that, she will find what she is looking for as well as numerous recipes to make breads with the starter.

Hope your hand is better and can't wait for your e-mails each day. Hugs to your furry buddies.

For Betty T
Everyone suggested Pillsbury frozen biscuit. They are good but if you can find Mary B's frozen biscuit, they are even better. They are made in Bagdad, Florida so they might be in the South only. They make tea biscuit (tiny) regular size and jumbo size. If anyone sees them in the freezer, give them a try.

I am sorry...I just wrote wanting to find the cabbage cooked in foil and mistakenly said it was the Nov. 9th newsletter....It was the February 9th I believe that someone mentioned really liking it and I really want to find it but have not so far.

Is there a way to find a specific recipe within all the newsletters?
Thanks so much, CeeZee


For the person who wanted to know how to fix Sweet Potatoes. You can buy sweet potatoes that are vacuum packed. Then all you do is open can and place in dish. I top mine with brown sugar to taste and butter, then bake in oven for half an hour or until bubbly.

I buy yams when on sale and can them for our own use. We like them better than the boughten ones.
Emma from Montana


For Joyce who wanted to know how to prevent apples from turning dark in salads (2/9 newsletter), lightly sprinkle with lemon juice after dicing. It doesn't effect the taste that much and the apples look much better.

For Jill in Florida (2/5 newsletter)

A tip I use for cleaning my Foreman grill - when I finish cooking, I UNPLUG it, then wet some paper towels and put them inside and close it while the grill is still hot. This steams it good and makes clean up easier.

Barbara in Alabama


Hello from Michigan the Winter Wonderland!!! This is for FL Jill ( 2/5 Newsletter). I currently have two George Foreman Grills. One is a large family size. The other is a smaller one with removeable plates that are dishwasher safe. I have not found it necessary to remove them if I clean them while still warm. That's the key. I use a two-sided sponge that's great for any non-stitck cooking surface. It' groved to fit all George Foreman grill plates. One side is sponge and one side is scouring pad. An order blank came with last grill.

Hello All,
My cousin is looking for a recipe where you make a chocolate cake and put a large marshmallow on top of each piece; it has a sugary chocolate frosting poured over it, when they would take a piece they would lift the frosting with the marshmallow off and set it aside. They would nibble at the frosting around the marshmallow and said it would melt in your mouth.

The Grandma that made this has passed away and no one can find a recipe like this. Has anyone ever had this type of cake and frosting?? If so would you please pass the recipe along. I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

I am finally able to get on the computer again, went from Microsoft 95 to XP. Now have to learn how to use it, and to see if my email is working.

I have 2 questions, Does anyone know where to get old fashioned tapioca? Not the ground stuff but the larger pearls that used to be used in puddings. I have looked and looked, HEB is not replace any on their shelves. Even the box puddings I could not find tapioca. Also I had dinner at “Sea Island Shrimp house.” They had the best Mexican Shrimp cocktail. Does anyone have a recipe or a near clone. Thank you, JAM IN SATX

1 to 2 tablespoons chopped ripe tomato

Hi Nancy, thank you and Jill in FL for the help locating the blueberry syrup recipe. I have looked at so many of the Gooseberry cookbooks now I haven't any idea which one I originally wanted. So, guess what, I'm going to own every one of them...eventually. Maybe I'll just start asking for them as presents. Do you think I could register at Gooseberry Patch like the brides do at their favorite stores? LOL Betty in ME


For Joie in TN (10 Feb newsletter) with problems using a mandolin. I had the same problems when I first bought my mandolin. It just takes a little practice and experience. Don't be tentative, a swift movement cuts best. For things like carrots, celery and cucumbers I don't use the safety holder. If you are worried about cutting your hands there are inexpensive cut resistant gloves available. Tomatoes are more difficult to cut, but can be done if you move the tomato back and forth in a sideways motion as you slide it down the cutter. Really ripe tomatoes are almost impossible to slice cleanly.
DP


Herbed Tomatoes
2/3 cup salad oil
1/4 cup vinegar
Pinch of thyme
1/2 cup of fresh chives (if dried use 1/4 cup)
1/2 cup of fresh parsley (if dried us 1/4 cup)
salt and pepper to taste.
6 to 7 quartered tomatoes

Combine oil, vinegar, and seasonings. Put tomatoes in a shallow dish and cover with mixture. Cover & refrigerate overnight.

When ready to serve, remove tomatoes from dressing and serve over a bed of lettuce (may use a tablespoon of dressing over lettuce and tomatoes).

Serves 6. If in a hurry use Zesty Italian dressing instead of oil and
vinegar.

To Fran in Fl. out of NY:
I am from Setauket, LI but moved to Sarasota, Fl. over fifty years ago. My Black and Decker Toaster Oven is about 8 yrs. old and I've never had a problem. It is also a convection oven and large enough to take regular size baking pans. It looks as though we are going to have problems with toaster ovens as well as with the newer crockpots.

For Kathy in Fl (10 Feb newsletter) wanting a deep fried chicken recipe.. The following is from Cooking Louisiana:

Deep Fried Whole Chicken:
A deep fryer made or designed to fry turkey's

Whole Chicken - 1 chicken per 3 adults depending...
Tony's or Old Bay Seasoning
Peanut oil
Frying thermometer

Wash the chicken well, slit the skin between the thigh and breast and season well inside and out. Rub seasoning under the skin and get some in the thigh joint. Preheat oil to 350ºF. Cook about 4-5 minutes per pound. Keep the oil at 325-350ºF. When you think it's almost done take the chicken out and test the tightness of the thigh joint with a pair of tongs. Let the chicken cool a few minutes and cut up as you would normally. Put in a casserole with a few tablespoons of water and cover.

I just want to say I made the Lemon Lush this weekend. It is delicious and I will be making this again soon. Another version of that I have been making. For the puddings you can use a chocolate pudding and vanilla pudding mixed together. That's really good, too. Of course you can use your imagination and use whatever combinations you choose. I like the crust as it is good, and
easy too.
Barb in OKC


When was the buttermilk chicken recipe posted? I've misplaced my recipe. Dumb, huh. Thanks, Genie


Joyce, you asked on Feb. 9 how to keep apples from turning dark in a salad. I usually add the apples just before serving a salad. When making Waldorf salad with mayonnaise they never turn dark. But if you are making a different salad and need to hold it for a while, use a little lemon juice on the apples. Or the best thing is to shake a little Fruit Fresh on them--you can keep plain sliced apples white for a long time with this product. It is a simple ascorbic acid powder that you can find at most grocery stores.
Dorothy from WA/AZ


Re Suzie in NW Michigan. I looked in my very old recipe cards and the size pan to use for the Seven Layer Bars is a 8x10. I thought I had that somewhere. I need to go through all my old cards and redo that. I will put that on my " to do" list. lol I have been doing scrapbooking, just getting into that and trying to put all my pictures that I have in boxes into albums so maybe next I can start on the recipes I have in boxes.

Chicken Mozzarella Bake
A quick and delicious chicken recipe, with boneless chicken breasts and cheese. The wine adds extra flavor, but chicken broth will work as well.

4 to 6 chicken breast halves
salt and pepper
garlic powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
1 tablespoon butter
2 to 3 tablespoons Marsala or white wine, or use chicken broth
1 medium to large tomato, sliced
4 to 6 green onions, thinly sliced
8 ounces Mozzarella cheese, sliced

Pound chicken breast halves between sheets of plastic wrap until evenly thinned out. Salt and pepper both sides then sprinkle lightly with garlic powder. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat.

Add chicken to the heated skillet; cook for about 5 minutes on each side. Remove to a baking dish. Add 1 more tablespoon butter to the skillet along with the wine or broth then saute the mushrooms until tender and golden brown. Pour mushroom mixture over chicken in baking dish. Top with tomato slices and sliced green onions. Place Mozzarella slices over all. Bake at 325 for 25 minutes. Serves 4 to 6.

Nancy, I made this last night for card club. It was so delicious.

Heavenly Twinkie Dessert
10 Hostess Twinkies
2 (10 ounce) boxes frozen raspberries, thawed
1 (14 ounce) bag flaked coconut
1 (6 ounce) box pistachio pudding mix (use sugar-free if you'd like)
3 cups milk
1 (8 ounce) container whipped topping
Cut Twinkies in half lengthwise; layer in a 13 x 9 inch pan.

Pour thawed raspberries over Twinkies. Sprinkle evenly with coconut. Prepare the pudding.
Cover with pudding and frost with whipped topping. Refrigerate for several hours before serving.
Florence, IL 2/11/07


Nancy:
To Joyce - there are two ways you can keep apples from browning in a salad. the first is to sprinkle them with lemon juice and toss making sure that all the cut surfaces are coated in the juice. The second is to dress the apples with the dressing you will be using in the salad.

As a side note browned apples are a very gentle but effective treatment for diahrrhea.
Norm from Victoria, BC


Thank you so much for all you do, I love reading your newsletter, and have copied many more recipes than I will ever use, but someday they will be passed on to my 4 darling granddaughters, so I keep on copy and pasting! :)

I hope you feel better soon!
Elaine in NM


still remember my mama fixing this when we would have fried chicken. It was delicious and still a favorite of my children and now theirs.

Simple Banana Salad (serves 1)
Spread a few lettuce leaves on a salad plate.
Cut a small banana length wise and then into thirds. (six pieces)
Dollop a bit of Helman's Mayo on top and then sprinkle with chopped peanuts.

It has such a clean taste and is really good with any fried foods.
Betty Ann in West TN.


Boots in VA asked for a less expensive option for the My Lil Reminder keychain voice recorders. I found at least two on ebay that are selling "buy it now" for $2.99 plus $5.99 shipping making the total cost for two including shipping less than the regular purchase cost for two of $9.95 without shipping. I think it's worth looking there. Just be sure that the seller has a good feedback rating before buying. Good luck!
Wendy in SNJ


Hi there Nancy, fur boys and recipe pals,

While you are all freezing we here in Australia and in the middle of a heat wave, drought, water crisis, and bush fires going since the beginning of December.

Re: how to prevent apples from turning dark when using them in a salad recipe?

I always put my apples and bananas into some Seven Up - it has lemon juice in it and this helps. Gives a nicer flavor to your salad than lemon juice. Add the Seven Up to the salad for extra zing. People will ask what your secret ingredient is.

Hope this helps Joyce.

Hello everyone,
Regarding the recipe for Texas Sheet Cake, can anyone tell me what “oleo” is? Is it available anywhere or will I need to go to a specialty store?

I would also like some recipes for muffins. Something I could make on the weekend & freeze. Than my family can pop them in the microwave in the morning. I would really like some with “hidden” healthy ingredients as I am trying to feed my 5 year old better. This morning I was making her waffles (which she eats almost every day) & as I was pouring on the syrup I realized what a mistake it was & that I am setting her up for problems later. So, I thought maybe muffins in the morning would work. Anything is better than all that sugar & fat!

I really enjoy this newsletter & have been trying many of the crock-pot recipes lately. It is SO much easier cooking in a crock-pot, if only I could cook like that every day!
Take care all, Cyndi in Texas


For Colleen Tallahassee
Thanks for the Texas sheet cake recipe, the one I sent in has buttermilk but not cinnamon, and the icing doesn't have coffee, sounds really good and I will try it the next time.

Here is apple salad that I enjoy more than the snicker apple salad:

Caramel Apple Salad
1 pkg.(small) instant butterscotch pudding
1 (8oz)can crushed pineapple with juice
1 c.mini marshmallows
3 c. Chopped apple,with or without peel
1 (12oz) ctn Cool Whip
1 c.dry roasted peanuts

Mix pineapple and juice and pudding, then add the rest of the ingredients.

I usually don't add the peanuts, serve them on the side and guest can sprinkle them on top. Not every one in my family like them mixed in.
