Zelda Patterson, TX ========= I want to thank the wonderful person who submitted the Pot Pie Soup recipe. I made it the other night and it has gone straight to the top of the 'will definitely make this again' list. I put the leftovers into a casserole dish and dropped biscuit dough onto the top and baked according to the biscuit recipe directions. That was even better than regular pot pie! Nancy, have you ever thought about putting together a cookbook featuring the Best of Nancy's Kitchen? It would sell like hotcakes! Thanks again! Merry ========= Does anyone have any recipes using fresh figs? My tree is loaded and will need to make something when they ripen, in a few weeks. Thanks a bunch. Enjoy the news letter. NANCY in OHIO ========= Thought these ribs might sound good for a campout!!! Grilled Ribs 3 pounds pork country-style ribs -- cut into serving pieces 1/2 cup orange juice 3/4 cup cocktail sauce 1/2 cup orange marmalade Brush grill rack with vegetable oil. Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. While grill is heating, arrange pork, meatiest pieces to outside edge, in 3-quart microwavable casserole. Add orange juice. Cover and microwave on HIGH 5 minutes. Rearrange and turn over pork, so less- cooked pieces are to outside edge of casserole. Re-cover and microwave 3 minutes; rearrange pork. Re-cover and microwave on MEDIUM (50%) 8 to 10 minutes or until very little pink remains. While pork is microwaving, mix cocktail sauce and marmalade; reserve 1/2 cup to serve with pork. Drain pork; discard cooking liquid. Cover and grill pork 5 to 6 inches from MEDIUM heat 10 to 12 minutes, turning and brushing generously with sauce mixture 2 or 3 times, until pork is glazed, browned and no longer pink when cut near bone. Serve pork with reserved sauce mixture. Yield: 4 servings. P ========= Hello--Thank you for the recipes for b e e r batter fried chicken. dls ========= In response to a request pork tenderloin with a little mild sauce. I cut the tenderloin almost all the way through, from end to end. Then I stuff it with pickled, sliced, jalapenos. Wrap it with kitchen string to keep the tenderloin together. Completely wrap the meat in heavy duty aluminum foil. Place on a baking sheet with sides. Bake until done in a 350 degree oven. Partially cool and slice into round slices. M ========= For Karen, here is a TNT recipe for I found in a Taste Of Home Magazine for a sausage brunch braid. Sausage Brunch Braid 12 oz. bulk pork sausage 1/2 cup chopped onion 1/4 cup chopped celery 1/4 cup chopped green pepper 1 clove garlic, minced 3oz cubed cream cheese 2 tbsp chopped green onion tops 2 tbsp minced fresh parsley 1 8oz can crescent rolls 1 egg, lightly beaten Preheat oven to 350. In a skillet cook, sausage, onion, celery, green pepper and garlic until meat is no longer pink and vegetable. are tender, drain. Add cream cheese, green onions and parsley. Cook and stir over low heat until cheese is melted, set aside. Unroll crescent dough on a greased baking sheet, press perforations together. Roll in to an 12x10 rectangle. Spoon mixture within 3 inches of sides and 1 inch of ends. On each long side cut 3/4 inch wide strips. Starting on one end, fold alternating strips at an angle, forming a braid. Brush dough with egg and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy, Bobbie from Chicago ========= Thanks goes to Verla for submitting a Cabbage Soup recipe for me. I do appreciate the time you took, Verla, so to repay you I am submitting one of my favorite recipes from Martha Stewart. Note: I actually use skinless, boneless chicken breasts for this. Anna B. Buttermilk Crisp-Baked Chicken from Martha Stewart Serves 4 Oil, for baking sheet 8 slices white bread 2-1/4 ounces Parmesan cheese, finely grated 1 teaspoon dried thyme 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 1 cup buttermilk 3/4 teaspoon coarse salt 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce 4 pounds chicken pieces (preferably legs, thighs, and wings), rinsed and patted dry Preheat the oven to 400�. Oil a baking sheet. In a food processor, grind the bread into fine crumbs. In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In a second large bowl, combine the buttermilk, Tabasco, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the chicken, turning to coat. Remove one piece of chicken from buttermilk mixture, shaking off excess liquid. Drop into the breadcrumb mixture and turn to coat. Place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken. Bake for 40 minutes, rotating pans halfway through cooking. Note: Dipping chicken pieces first in buttermilk, then in a breadcrumb-cheese mixture and baking them, makes them moist and tender on the inside, crunchy on the outside. ========= Mock Chow Mein 2 cups cooked rice 1 lb browned ground beef 1 cup chopped chunky celery 1/2 cup chopped onions 1 can cream of mushroom soup 1 cup beef broth 1 can of water chestnuts 1 can of sliced mushrooms (or fresh) 1 can of bean sprouts 3 or 4 tablespoons of soy sauce 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (optional) 1 tablespoon chopped garlic 1 cup of chow mein noodles Mix and heat all the ingredients except chow mein noodles on stove top. Transfer to casserole dish, cover and bake at 350� for 30 to 45 minutes or until warmed through (add additional broth if it gets to dry during baking). Sprinkle chow mein noodles over to the last 5 or 10 minutes of baking, uncovered. Note: This is a very forgiving dish and can be added to or taken away from according to your household tastes. Remember, soy sauce isn't as forgiving and can always be further used on the dining table. ========= I would love to have some diabetic recipes, since my husband is a diabetic. I love your web site. Thanks, Dorthey ========= Hi Nancy - I am looking for recipes for baked ham using b e e r as an ingredient. I had it once but did not have the recipe. It used beer and was tented with aluminum foil and baked in the oven. It was very tender and moist. Thanks, David ========= Hi! I subscribe to this newsletter and I absolutely love your site! I have a very important question. I am interested in getting a recipe (s) for Macaroni and Cheese. My toddler son absolutely loves this dish. Any suggestions from anyone? Thanks and keep up the good job! Evelyn ========= Angela, I just want to thank you for the recipe, (Chicken Fried Steak Like Grandma Used to Make) I really liked it, but more importantly my husband loved it. Thank you, Beverly in Ca. ========= Hi Nancy, I am looking for a TNT date nut loaf. No shortening or packaged mixes please. Thank you in advance for any responses. Trudi ========= The kabobs in crock pot did not turn out very well. You have to brown the meat well as it just turns funny color other wise. The meat has to be in there a longer time than the veggies. These are best left for the grill. Voice of experience. Judy Montana ========= This is for Phil asking about the smooth top ranges. I have used a pressure cooker and I have done canning on my smooth top range. I was never told that I couldn't and there has never been a problem. You use it as you would any electric range. Maggie ========= This is for Phil in Ohio that ask about a water bath on his smooth top stove. I, also have one, and I just canned some pear preserves and used the water bath on them. I, also use a pressure cooker on the stove as well. Just make sure you don't slide the pots across the top of the stove, it may scratch the top. Good Luck. Hope all goes well. Gloria Farris in Ga. ========= I lost the recipes of vegetables and fruits that can be blended in the blender to make more healthy/natural baby foods than the baby food in jars at stores. Lilly ========= My Mom made the best rice pudding. She sometimes made a cream sauce to serve with it and I have included that recipe too, but it is wonderful without it, too.

As I was reading the directions to make it, I noticed it mentions sprinkling 1/2 of the brown sugar on top of the batter, but I couldn't find brown sugar listed in the ingredients. The cake sounds very good and I'd like to make. I hope the person who sent it in will respond with this information. Thanks!
