Hi Nancy and everyone.
Here are a couple of cookie recipes that I make. (And it is not a mistake - there really is no flour in either of these cookies!! They are great for anyone on a gluten free diet.)

PECAN COOKIES
2 c. pecans
1 c. packed brown sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
1 egg white
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Pecan Halves

Place half the pecans in food processor bowl and pulse until finely ground; transfer to med. size mixing bowl. Repeat with rest of nuts. Add brown sugar, salt, egg white and vanilla. Mix well. Form dough into marble size balls; place well apart on parchment covered cookie sheet. (About 12 cookies/sheet). Firmly press pecan half into each. Bake 8-9 minutes at 350°. Let cookies remain on cookie sheet 3 minutes. Cool on
wire rack. Makes 36 or more cookies if you make them the right size.

ALMOND MACAROONS
2 c. blanched almonds
3/4 c. sugar
2 tsp. almond extract
2 egg whites, at room temperature

In covered blender container, blend almonds half at a time until finely ground. Line cookie sheet with heavy-duty foil (or parchment paper). In medium bowl, combine all ingredients until well mixed and stiff. Drop in 1-inch mounds, 1 inch apart on sheet. Bake 20 minutes at 350° or until firm at edges but soft in center and golden. Remove from oven and lift
foil with macaroons to wire rack to cool. When cool, peel off foil. Store in tightly covered container. Makes 3 dozen.

Here is another recipe that everyone always enjoys. The women on Mom's side of the family always get together before Christmas. We have a gift exchange and everyone brings goodies to share for lunch. I have one cousin that is disappointed if I don't make these!

KOOKIE COOKIES
1 – 10 1/2 oz. pkg. corn chips
1 c. light corn syrup
1 c. sugar
1 c. creamy peanut butter
Spread chips on greased 15 x 10 x 1 baking pan. Over medium heat, bring corn syrup and sugar to a boil. Boil 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter until smooth. Pour over corn chips. Cool. Break or cut in to pieces.

I think is it kind of fun to know a little about those sending all the good recipes. I will be 53 the end of this month. I am single and live in Sioux Falls, SD. I have one sister that lives in Geneva, NY. She is married and has four grown boys. Both of my parents are still living.
They live just a short distance from me. They are in their 80's and celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in May. You may have noticed that a lot of my recipes are gluten free and dairy free. That is because my mom has celiac disease and is on a gluten free and dairy free diet. I am always looking for easy recipes that do not have strange ingredients
in them that I can make for her.

My golly, Nancy, you have certainly opened a can of worms here; fortunately most members like their ages known.

Dottie in NJ. Here is a recipe I got just from Epicurious the other day. It is so extremely similar to a recipe I have devised over the span of some-30 years for making fantastic starter gravy ahead of Turkey Day. The only differences are that I grind up some of the vegetables (not the carrots), a little Bell's Seasoning and some of the turkey meat and use purchased 14.5 can(s) of College Inn turkey stock (only available in November) and lightly brown the flour for the gravy for extra flavor. I'm sure you will LOVE this version; my family simply cannot get enough of this type of gravy:

Turkey Stock-_: If using 6 lb. turkey wings, halve at joints with a cleaver or
large knife, then crack wing bones in several places with back of cleaver or knife. (Do not crack bones if using other parts.) Pat turkey dry. Put oven rack in lowest position of oven and preheat oven to 500°F. Roast turkey parts, skin sides down, in dry roasting pan, turning over once, until browned well, about 45 minutes.

Transfer to an 8- to 10-quart stockpot with tongs, reserving fat in roasting pan. Add 3 medium halved but unpeeled onions (cut sides down), 3 ribs of celery, cut in several pieces, and 3 quartered carrots to fat in pan and roast, stirring halfway through roasting, until golden, about 20 minutes total. Add vegetables to turkey in stockpot. Straddle pan across 2 burners, then add 2 c water and deglaze by boiling, stirring and scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Add deglazing liquid to turkey and vegetables in stockpot, then add 6 fresh stems (without leaves) of parsley, 1/2 California bay leaf, 10 black peppercorns, 1 1/2 t salt, and remaining 4-1/2 quarts water. Reduce heat and gently simmer, partially covered, 3 hours. Pour stock through a large fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, discarding solids. Measure stock: If there is more than 13 cups, boil in cleaned pot until reduced to 13 cups. If there is less, add enough water to bring total to 13 cups. If using immediately, let stand until fat rises to top, 1 to 2 minutes, then skim off and discard fat. If not, cool completely, uncovered, then chill, covered, before skimming fat (it will be easier to remove when cool or cold). Cooks' note: Stock can be chilled in an airtight container 1 week or frozen 3 months.

Also, for the chipotle and raspberry cookbook, here is an interesting one I just bought

ingredients for at the store today:

Raspberry Chipotle Chicken Wings
Peggy Trowbridge for 8 to 10 servings

Place 5 lb. large chicken wings in a large stockpot along with 1 3/4 c chicken broth, 1/2 c chopped onion, 1/2 c chopped celery, 4 large, quartered cloves of garlic, 2 t dry rubbed sage, 2 t dried thyme, and 1/2 bay leaf. Add water to just barely cover contents. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir and skim off any foam midway through cooking. Remove cover and let cool at least 10 minutes. While chicken wings are cooking, make the sauce. Heat a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 2 T butter and 1/2 medium, minced sweet onion. Reduce heat to medium and sauté until onions are soft and translucent. Add 3 minced cloves of garlic and 2 t canned chipotle chiles, chopped. Stir-fry 2 minutes. Deglaze pan with 1/4 c balsamic vinegar, scraping up any browned bits from the
bottom into the sauce. Add 1/2 c seedless raspberry jam and kosher salt. Stir until smooth. Let cool until chicken wings are done. Strain wings
(discard wing tips, if any) and retain strained stock for other purposes. Toss chicken wings with raspberry chipotle sauce. (May refrigerate for one day at this point.) Position baking rack in the highest position. Preheat
oven to 450. Line a 15 x 10-inch baking pan with non-stick foil. Arrange chicken wings fattest-side up on prepared baking pan. Sprinkle lightly with kosher salt. Bake 25 minutes (30 to 40 minutes if refrigerated) in preheated oven until lightly browned. Serve hot.

Just thought I would get in with the others, I'm Sue Brown from North Carolina and I will be 59 in a few months and I love this web site. I copy so many of the recipes and I love trying all that I copy. If anyone has a good layer black walnut cake recipe, I would really love to get it. Thanks again for each person that loves this web site and for Nancy for all the hard work.

For Debi in North Carolina in the Nov. 10th newsletter, This is my families favorite dressing and it is cooked in a crock pot. All I add is the following ingredients but I am sure you could
add a little sage to it.
Melinda in Chattanooga

Crockpot Cornbread Dressing
1/2 C. butter or margarine (1 stick)
1 C. finely chopped onion
1 C. finely chopped celery
1/4 C. minced parsley
1 1/2 to 2 tsp. poultry seasoning
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
6 C. crumbled cornbread
2 eggs well beaten
1-1/2 C. chicken broth

Melt butter in skillet. Add onion and celery and sauté until tender. Combine seasonings and sprinkle over cornbread. Add eggs, broth and onion mixture. If you like a moist dressing more broth may be used. Spoon mixture into crock pot, cover and set on high for 1 hour then reduce heat to low and cook for 2 hours.


Good Evening Nancy, I just finished the Friday newsletter and copied several recipes, as usual. I will need to live longer than Abraham to use all the recipes I have collected from this newsletter. Thanks for all that you do to see that we have a place to share.

I am responding to Carole w/and "E" in Calgary who wanted a dressing for a Broccoli Salad that was creamy like coleslaw dressing and contained vinegar.

Broccoli Salad Dressing
Here is how I make mine and it is very good.
1cup Mayonnaise (not Miracle Whip)
1/2 cup granulated suga
1 TBSP cider vinegar.

I combine this using a whisk and allow it to sit in the refrigerator (stirring occasionally) till sugar dissolves, then pour over salad ingredients and mix well. When I make Broccoli Salad I use 2 heads of Broccoli cut into medium sized pieces, 3/4 cup sunflower seeds, 1 cup raisins, 8 slices very crisp bacon, crumbled, 1 small purple onion, chopped fine and the dressing above. This makes a truly great salad and my menfolk especially love it.

For Doris in Oklahoma City, I am 68 and, like you, feel 18 inside. Lordy, what happened to the body while I wasn't paying attention. L.O.L.
Thanks for letting me ramble, Nancy.

Hello to all,
I know this is late, and won't be much help till next year, but I wanted to tell about my experiences with the jam made with green tomatoes from Roz in Indy.

Green Tomato Jam
I used 5 cups ground tomatoes and 5 cups sugar and a good tablespoon of lemon juice. After boiling this for 20 minutes, I added 1 large box of sugar free jello (it's what I had on hand). The first batch, I used cherry. The artificial cherry flavor is different in a jam, but not bad. The second batch I used peach. I added a little red and yellow food coloring to try to give it a more peachy color. This one was really good. If you didn't know, you'd think it was real peaches. And the texture is perfect.

It's nice to have a new use for those green tomatoes. Thanks!

This is for Billie in FL who in the 10 Nov Newsletter requested a recipe for Mincemeat Cookies. This is a TNT recipe that I use every year at holiday time and I've yet to find another recipe that beats this one. This recipe comes from the wrapper of the 9 ounce box of NONE SUCH Condensed Mincemeat.
Mr. Myron Drinkwater - Lake Forest, CA

PRIZE COOKIES
1 cup shortening (I use the Crisco baking bars)
1-1/2 cups sugar (granulated)
3 eggs
3 cups unsifted flour (all-purpose)
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 (9 oz) pkg None Such Condensed Mincemeat, crumbled

Preheat oven to 375°. In large mixer bowl, beat shortening and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, beat well. Sift together dry ingredients; gradually add to shortening mixture. Mix well. Stir in crumbled mincemeat. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls, 2 inches apart, on greased baking sheets. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool. Frost if desired.
Yield: Makes about 6-1/2 dozen.

Tip: For a more cake-like cookie, substitute 1 1/3 cups (one half 27 ounce jar) None Such Ready-to-Use Mincemeat (Classic Original or Brandy & Rum) for the condensed mincemeat.


Hi Nancy,Carole with an 'E' in Calgary in the 11/10 issue wanted the broccoli salad recipe. Here is the one I use got it from a friend.
Brenda/Alabama

Broccoli Salad
4 heads Broccoli, cut into small pieces
1 cup chopped red onion, chopped
1 cup raisins
1 cup chopped toasted pecans
1 pound cooked bacon, crumbled
2 cups shredded sharp cheese

Dressing
1 cup mayo
3 Tablespoons sugar
3 Tablespoons vinegar

Mix sauce ingredients well. Mix other ingredients and toss well with dressing.


I have to add me two cents about the grits subject. My family and I would just turn our noses up to grits unless they had sugar and butter. Some people say with sugar they are like cream of wheat but we don't think so. A very tasty breakfast or any time really is instant grits with sugar and butter and buttered toast. Umm.mmm good!!!

Has anyone tried the Turkey baked with the seasonings and instructions for the Roast Sticky Chicken--Rotisserie style, and I thought I would omit the salt, as I am going to put it in the Brine the night before.

For PeggyNELA, 11/10/06 newsletter.

Hi all in Nancyland from snowy Wisconsin LOL.
Just wanted to thank Susan Schulte of Iowa for her recipe for Susan's Super Oatmeal Cookies.

Made a batch and we were eating them right out of the oven they are soooo good!!! I think it's great that so many of us so called Senior citizens still bake and cook. It's really too bad when someone has a great recipe and refuses to share it - hey when they are gone so is the recipe. My mother-in-law makes great garlic/dill pickles but won't show anyone how she makes them. Would appreciate it if any Nancylanders have a TAT recipe to share.

The bourbon pecan cake looks delicious, but wonder if I can substitute something else for the candied cherries. My family does not like the candied fruit. My husband makes a fruit cake using all home made preserves and jellies and is cooked in the pressure cooker. He makes seventeen to twenty a year. A lot of work, but so most and good. Also, on the bourbon cake, can it be baked in a brundt or tube pan? Some one ask about a machine that we seniors, (I am 78) can use) I have a spinal injury and my legs started swelling from lack of use, and I bought a CHI machine. It is small, less than 10 lbs. You put it on the floor, but you legs up in the stirrups, turn it on, and it moves your body like a fish swims. It gives you oxygen and helps with weight loss as well. Ten minutes on the machine, is equal to four miles of walking. I use my machine at least three times a week. The machine is expensive (I paid $480.00 five yrs. ago.) It is put out by a company in China The HSIN Company site is:

I just wanted to let all of you know that I tried the sour cream, buttermilk roll mix from the Prepared Pantry and they are to die for. I have never in my life ordered a mix as I always make things from scratch but I definitely will be buying roll mixes again. I'm baking them for Thanksgiving dinner at my daughter's house. I baked them for my husband last week when he went elk hunting with his buddies, along with a big pot of stew, and they were a big
hit!!

I would like to ask Dennis a question. I love very thin ginger cookies but can't get them to the cookie sheet with out them getting messed up. Do you have a great tip that will help? Thanks in advance and as always THANK YOU to our great Nancy. I am 72 and hate to admit it but the old gal in the mirror won't let me forget it. LOL

1 can Golden Mushroom Soup from Campbell's
1 c. water
1 1/2 T. flour (opt. if you like the thicker soup)

Heat the oil as you chop the 'shrooms into about a 3 qt. pot. Saute' them on Medium High till tender, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the soup and reduce heat to Medium. Add water; if you like soup thick, wisk the flour into the water before adding it. Stir in the garlic and cook till the soup is a bit thicker, then stir in cream. Simmer till good and hot but don't boil, 5 - 10 minutes. Good with crackers and a salad or sandwich too,or over baked potatoes.

This is a clone of a great soup served at the Charley Horse Restaurant in Ormond Beach a few years back. When they took it off the menu we had to improvise !

Good morning everyone! This request was in the 11/10 letter.
For Lori R., from an older newsletter: Marilyn in FL.....p.s. happy dipping, Carole with an e !

Hi Melissa in SD, I recently found a taco mix recipe that has no MSG. I hope this is what you’re lookin’ for. I skip the garlic powder and use fresh because my family prefers it, and you can always add more heat by increasing the cayenne/paprika.

Taco Seasoning Mix = 1 store bought packet
Copycat/Clone Recipe
2 tsp. chili powder
1 ½ tsp. salt
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. cornstarch (thickener)
1 tsp. cumin
1/2 - 1 tsp. cayenne pepper or hot paprika (not sweet type)

Add above to 1 lb. browned ground beef with small amount of water, or tomato sauce and
dash of sugar. Cook until thickened.

Hello Nancy. This is for Dorothy in Il., looking for a crustless quiche. My former
daughter-in-law (I hate the term "ex") gave me this recipe because my grand daughters
loved it and they wanted me to make it for them. It is very good and easy.

Ruthann's Quiche
Preheat oven to 350°

10 eggs
1/2 cup milk
2/3 cup flour

Beat togther above ingredients.
1 cup cheese (I used grated colby/jack)

Add to egg mixture.
Bake in a large casserole dish, (I used my oval Pyrex) for 50 minutes. This fed four of us
very comfortably for dinner with toast and fresh fuit on the side,

I am a sr 68 yrs old. I have tried the white frosting with white chips and added coconut and slivered almonds. OH MY GOSH!! Better than my favorite Sees candy. I am looking for a recipe my aunt used to make about 40+ years ago. I believe it was an "ice box" cookie -- white with flaked coconut in it and when sliced thin and baked it was like toasted coconut in the cookie. Have tried every recipe similar thru the years but none quite the same.
Thank you and I love this as much as everyone.
Maryann MN


Hi Nancy,
Just to throw my hat into the ring of revealing our senior age. I am 68, with birthday coming up in April. I, too, enjoy getting all the recipes and know that I will never be able to try all the recipes I have saved. But I still enjoy seeing what everyone else is doing. A big Thanks to you, Nancy, for all the work that goes into the daily newsletter. A Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.
Oma in LA (Lower Alabama)


My mouth is watering just looking at all the candy recipes! But I won't be making or eating any this year. Still trying to lose some weight so I can fit into my dress for my daughter's wedding. But as I was reading all the yummy recipes, I thought about my mom's lemon fudge recipe, and decided to post it for everyone else. It is so good! Hope you try it, and eat some for me!

Lemon Fudge
3 cups sugar
3/4 cup margarine or butter
2/3 cup evaporated milk

Mix in saucepan and bring to a boil on high heat. Reduce heat and boil for 5 minutes, stirring often.

Remove from heat and add 2 cups vanilla chips and stir until melted. Add one 7 oz. jar of marshmallow cream, 1 tsp. each lemon peel, lemon juice, and lemon extract. Stir together and add 1 1/2 cups coconut. Spread into buttered 9x13 pan and refrigerate. When cool, cut into squares and keep refrigerated.

For: Dianne in Wisconsin, from Rose in Wi. You wanted a soup recipe. This one is very simple and I am sure you will love it.

BEER-CHEESE SOUP
1 can Beer
1 can Campbells® Cheddar Cheese Soup
1 can Campbells® Nacho Cheese Soup
1/4 cup chopped onions
1/4 cup chopped celery
Pepper to taste

Cook onions & celery in small amount of the beer. When tender, add the rest of the can of beer and the 2 cans of soup. Whisk well, and bring just to a boil. Then simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.

I like to serve this in bread bowls. Pillsbury® makes a frozen French bread that is like small round loaves. I use these. They are really nice for individual bread bowls.

I am pushing 72 yrs. Of age really hard.

Nancy thanks for Thursday newsletter that you sent out. I know that I am not the only person that misses the newsletter on Thursday.

I would like to know if anyone else on this site as a child moved like I did. I was born on Long Island; move to Atlanta, GA; Columbus, Ohio; Dayton, Ohio; Des Moines, IA; and then back to Columbus, OH all by the time I was in 6Th grade. No my Dad was not in the service but was a Field Rep for General Foods.

In the 11/8 newsletter Donna in Colorado wanted to know if you had any seniors on this site. I saw in the 11/10 newsletter that Sandy in Danvers Ma., Jean from Oklahoma, Bette Indiana and more are seniors. I am also but I don't refer to myself as a senior but that I am maturing person because I feel that I will never be old. My knee has slowed me down some but I am still going all the time. This week my husband was on one of his trips and I was home. I didn't want to go. In January I will be 70 years young with grandchildren ranging in age from 6½ months the twins to 17 years old. Yes, as you can see we are busy. Our older daughter has 2 step children both boys and they are older. Our younger daughter has 5 children with 2 girls 11 and 5 years old, and 3 boys 4 years old and the 6½ month old twin.

Then her husband has a 14 year old daughter and she comes over on the week-ends. Surprising that all the children in the last family get a long great. It took some time but they have finally arrived. His daughter and our 11 years old granddaughter talk all the time and they call each other up just to see how things are going like school and all that. Sorry Nancy I got off the track or subject. That happens with us at our age.

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