Since many people asked for this, I decided to forward it to the list. If anyone wishes me to do otherwise, write me. Im going to copy and paste the file after my signature.
Nancy Martin Oklahoma Mac 'n beef: Boil a box of short noodles. Brown some ground meat (a pound or so with Italian seasoning and a chopped onion. Drain, then add a can of tomato soup (2 if you prefer more sauce or are making a big batch), 1/4 cup of water (per can), and a cup of corn. Add more Italian seasoning if you want it to taste more seasony. Cook for five minutes, mix in the noodles and add 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese. Delicious burritos: Slice an onion and sauté it in a pan with oil-- along with sweet peppers if you like them. When the onions start looking caramelized, add frozen corn and some thinly cut strips of meat of your choice. Chicken and pork work best. When the meat is cooked through, you'll add a packet of taco or fajita seasoning and water. Follow the package directions. Warm tortillas, fill serve eat and enjoy! Roasted red potato slices: slice a bunch of small potatoes thinly (I use red, you could do blue, or fingerlings. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Take a baking pan, spray it with olive oil spray and toss Italian seasonings onto the pan. Lay the potatoes out on the pan, spray, salt, pepper, add more Italian seasonings, top with parmesan cheese (or shredded cheese if you prefer) and then spray it again a little. Stick it in the oven for about 30 minutes. I make a corn soufflé with Jiffy that is like a spoon bread. Use 1 package mix, 2 eggs, 1 can whole kernel corn, 1 can creamed corn, 1/2 c sour cream, chopped green chilies, chopped red pepper, 2 tbsp. minced onions. Mix all and pour into greased 9X13 casserole, bake at 350 or 375 for 45 minutes. the simple version has just 1 pack of cornbread mix,2 lightly beaten eggs, 1 can each of corn and creamed corn, with the liquids (I tend to use frozen corn and a can of evaporated milk instead), 1 c of sour cream, some melted butter. No other seasonings. (I might put in a few drops of Tabasco). Mix all of the above together in a large bowl and turn into a greased baking pan , top with grated cheese and bake till puffy and lightly browned,- dont let it get too dry it should be soft in the middle. Warm Apple-Corn Loaf, Friuli-Style 1 box of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix 2 large eggs, beaten 1 4-ounce stick of unsalted butter, melted, plus a little extra ¼ cup milk 2 tablespoons sugar ½ teaspoon cinnamon ¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 1 lemon, zested and juiced 2 large Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/8-inch slices 1. Pre-heat oven to 375°. 2. Place the muffin mix in a large mixing bowl. Working with a whisk, slowly blend in the eggs, melted butter, milk, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon zest and lemon juice. Do not over-blend; it is OK if there are a few lumps. Stop blending when the mixture is fairly smooth. 3. Butter the inside of a 5-inch x 9-inch by 2¾-inch loaf pan. Pour ¼ of the prepared batter into the pan, then cover batter with ¼ of the sliced apples in a thin layer. Repeat this step three more times, ending with a top layer of apples. 4. Place the loaf in the oven and bake for 45 minutes. Remove from oven, let cool for 20 minutes, turn loaf out of loaf pan and serve in slices. For a festive holiday cornbread, particularly at Thanksgiving, I add half a can of pumpkin to two packages of Jiffy corn muffin mix (as well as 2/3 cup of milk and 2 eggs), spread batter in an 8x8 pan, bake for 40 minutes. The pumpkin holds the moisture in the cornbread, helping it stay soft and moist for up to three days. Also, most delicious when served with honey butter. Melt a stick of sweet cream butter (I like salted) in a saucepan, add a few dollops of honey, stir, refrigerate, and serve with the pumpkin cornbread. Here is a recipe from the Jiffy website for Creamy Corn Muffins: (18 muffins) 2 pkgs. "JIFFY" Corn Muffin Mix 2 eggs 1 can (12 oz.) cream style corn 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1/2 tsp. lemon juice 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese Preheat oven to 375°, grease muffin pans or use paper liners.

In an 8" skillet over low heat, melt the butter, allowing it to brown slightly. Add in the brown sugar and allow to melt until caramelized. Remove from heat and add in the pineapple rings and the remaining 2 tablespoons of pineapple juice. The recipe calls for 5; I like to let them go up to the edge of the pan on the sides, adding a decorative touch to the final product. Top with nuts, if so desired.
