Nancy ==== Our Sunday School is having a breakfast/brunch this Sunday and I would like to take Cream Cheese Danish's, does anyone have a wonderful recipe for these. I've got one off of Allrecipes.com, but would like to see if there were any different ones. That one will be my standby. Thanks in advance, Rhonda in Texas ==== This is for Carrol Stockton who asked for a recipe for Orange juice jelly. I found this one at Kraft foods . Maybe its the same kind of recipe you had..... Kathy in Alabama 30 Minutes To Homemade SURE.JELL� Orange Juice Freezer Jelly This recipe is included in the online version of the newsletter http://www.aliciasrecipes.com/newsletter-oct-29.htm ============ This is for Brenda who ask for the sugar free no bake chocolate, peanut butter cookies. I got this awhile back from the Pam cooking spray website. It called for sugar but I am diabetic and I have made it many times using Splenda. Comes out delicious..... Kathy in Alabama No Bake Sugar Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies 2 tablespoons butter 1/4 cup cocoa 1/2 cup Splenda 1/4 cup milk dash salt 1 teaspoon pure vanilla 1 heaping tablespoon peanut butter (optional: add more to taste and increase the oatmeal) 1-1/2 cups UNCOOKED quick oats oatmeal Microwave the butter in a microwave-safe bowl for 15-30 seconds, until the butter is melted. Add 1/4 cup cocoa and blend until the cocoa is dissolved into the butter. Add the sugar, milk and salt. Blend well. Microwave on high for 1 minute 10 seconds to bring to a full boil. (Should you need to microwave the batter some more, do so in 10 second increments.) You want a full boil, but because it will continue to cook for awhile once it's removed from the microwave, heating it too long can cause the mixture to scorch.) Add the vanilla, peanut butter, and oatmeal. Stir well. Drop by tablespoonful on waxed paper and allow to cool. Makes 12 cookies. ============ Thanks to Katy in NY for the ideas she shared in Oct 28 issue for cooking meals to freeze for future meals. Both were good ideas. Jo from MO. ============ Nancy these ideas recipes are for Kristi York in the 10/27 or 26 newsletter wanting quick breakfood ideas. One is to make and freeze in ahead biscuits that are 3" in side and to make sausage & biscuits with cheese. You make the biscuits and put on a cookie sheet and put in the freezer for about 1 hour to 2 hours to freeze them. Then you can put them in a freezer bag and put back in the freezer. That way you have them made for Sausage Biscuits and also for Sausage Gravy and Biscuits. You can make muffins, coffee cakes, baked French toast (overnight dish), egg muffin made with English muffins and many more. I am sure if you get on the internet you can find recipes for these. Susie Indy ============ This is for DLS. I got this in the Better Homes New Cookbook. I have thousands of different recipes. I've been collecting since I was 12. It's my passion. I'm known as aprilrecipes. Beer Battered Fried Chicken 1 ( 2-1/2 to 3 lb.) broiler fryer chicken cut up 1 cup packaged biscuit mix 1/2 tsp onion salt 1/4 tsp garlic powder 1/4 - 1/2 tsp ground red pepper 1 beaten egg 1/2 cup beer shortening or cooking oil for deep fat frying Skin chicken, if desired.

Keep warm Makes 6 servings April D ============ This will be the first year I am not actually doing the family dinner for holidays at my house. My youngest daughter has a new home and is taking on Thanksgiving this year. However, she would like me to do pies. She lives about 50 miles away and I am trying to find a way to take 4 pies without them slipping and sliding all over the back of my SUV. I will not have a lot of space as we will also be transporting her grandmother and aunt and a dog and dog crate. Does anyone know of a source for pie carriers? Rubbermaid used to make one that stacked and carried several pies. Tupperware has one, but you have to buy two different pieces to carry two pies and it would cost almost $50. If anyone has ideas of how to do this without it costing lots of dollars I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanking you in advance, Sandra from Oregon ============ Old-Fashioned Sour Cream-Raisin Pie 2 cups dairy sour cream 1-1/2 cups sugar 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 3 egg yolks 1 cup raisins 3 egg whites 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar 3/4 cup sugar 1 baked 9-inch pie shell In a heavy medium saucepan stir together the sour cream, 1-1/2 cups sugar, flour, egg yolks, and raisins. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Keep warm. For meringue, place the egg whites and cream of tartar in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form (tips curl). Gradually add 3/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high speed about 4 minute more or until mixture forms stiff glossy peaks (tips stand straight). Pour warm filling into baked pie shell. Spread meringue over filling. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 15 minutes. Remove and cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Chill 3 to 6 hours before serving; cover for longer storage. Makes 8 servings. This was a favorite of my father. His sister always made it for him until he became a diabetic.

Diane ============ I used to have a recipe for sandwiches that were made with browned hamburger, cheese, (maybe Velveeta) onion soup mix and I don't know what else.

Thanks, Jean from Illinois ============ Hi Nancy, Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who sent in recipes for Sauerkraut Balls . I was amazed at how quick they came in after I posted my request. Many thanks to all, and I can hardly wait to try them out. Rosemary in Nova Scotia ============ I am having a few ladies over to decorate a tree for a scholarship auction. I would love to prepare finger food that will be delicious and wow them at the same time. Do you have suggestions for this event to thank these ladies for their efforts? Thanks in advance. Elizabeth, PA ============ Nancy, we all hope your health has improved. As I have said before, I personally don't see how you, as one person, accomplishes what you do with editing, updating, and posting this recipe newsletter and the other ventures that you're into. (And having a personal life, a life without a keyboard)! But I wanted to make a kinda comical comment, guess you could call it a "man-thing." I believe in the Oct. 26th newsletter, April from Texas, in response to a recipe from perhaps Elizabeth in Australia asked what a "sultanas", was? I grabbed for my trusty Franklin Language Master, and lo-and-behold, it gave the first definition of sultanas as, " female member of a sultan's family". Now I thought, "wow, why didn't this recipe come along when I was much younger man!?" But I hasten to say, the Language Master also gave the same definition as Elizabeth explained in Oct. 28th newsletter. I, as a male senior citizen enjoy reading your newsletter so much, and no, we're not "shut-ins." But your newsletter opens up so much of the universe to us, your members and readers. Thank you so much for what you are doing. My God bless, strengthen and provide for you. Sincerely, A&M, in Roswell, NM ============ Nancy, I want to thank Debbie Morgan for her instructions on how to print a degree sign on a Mac computer! I sure could have used this a couple of years ago when I made my own personal cookbook. It has 7 volumes. If I'd just made one volume I couldn't have picked it up. Marsha along the Mississippi River ============ Here is a recipe for a wonderful unusual cheese ball that your guests will go crazy for. It sounds a little different but trust me on this one. The flavors together make for a true hit at any holiday party or get together. Someone at work brought this to a potluck one day and everyone LOVED it. Cheeseball 2 pkgs softened cream cheese. 1 -8 oz can of crushed pineapple, well drained. 1/2 cup chopped green onion tops. pkg of walnut chips for rolling. *Combine first 3 ingredients in a bowl until well blended. Shape into the best rounded ball that you can.. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for several hours until ball is firm. Remove from plastic wrap and and roll in walnuts until entire cheese ball is coated nicely. Wrap in clean sheet of plastic wrap and chill until you're ready to serve. I think Wheat Thins compliment this cheese ball perfectly.. Enjoy! Lisa/Chicago ============ I was just thinking about making some pies for Thanksgiving and was wondering if I could make up the pie dough now and freeze it until I need it in about 4 weeks. I wouldn't think it would go bad as it doesn't have any egg in it or stuff to break down? Also, if I can freeze it and I take it out, what do I need to do to thaw it? Just let it thaw out on counter until ready to use? Thanks so much!! Great newsletter! Dayna ============ Here are several mixes I love to give as gifts at Christmas Lisa Recipes included in the online version of the newsletter. Deluxe Spiced Tea Mix, Russian Tea Mix, Spiced Tea Mix. ============= I like to make International Coffee Mixes for gifts. Donna International House Of Coffee Flavored Coffees recipes posted in the online version of the newsletter. Cafe Bavarian Mint, Cafe Cappuccino, Cafe Viennese, Cafe Swiss Mocha ========= My co-worker is originally from Jamaica and she kindly offers this recipe for Melody and everyone: CURRIED CHICKEN Cut 10 chicken thighs and 10 chicken legs in half to make small pieces. Place meat in large plastic container. Add salt to taste, 1/2 teaspoon EACH of pepper, thyme, onion powder, garlic powder, Mrs. Dash Table Blend seasoning, and Jamaican (preferably) or Indian curry powder - NOT THE GENERIC FROM GROCERY STORE, IT HAS CINNAMON IN IT AND IS NOT USED BY JAMAICAN COOKS. Using your hands, mix chicken well with the seasonings. Let marinate overnight in covered plastic container. Place chicken in a heavy pot with small amount of water (about 1 Cup) and � stick of butter. Cover and bring to a boil. Simmer meat for approximately 1 � hrs, stirring now and then. Add 3 medium sized potatoes, peeled and cubed. Cook for another � hour or until meat is done. Can be served over white rice with vegetables of your choice or a green salad. ENJOY Brooxie ========= All your Recipes sound so wonderful that I get hungry for most of them at the time I read it all. Keep them coming . Annie Oh, Annie, you are so right. The recipes are awesome. But think about this. If we were able to cook all the recipes we copied from Nancy's Newsletter we'd WEIGH 900 lbs each. I try to remember this as I shop and make a conscious decision to "Cyber Cook". Cyber cooking is where you read all the recipes, copy them and reread them again, then, send them to everyone you know, check to see if you have all the ingredients, file the printed recipes in your notebook or in your Software program and decide, "I won't forget that recipe because it sounded so great". Then you repeat the same process over and over. Laughing. Every great once and awhile, you accidentally leave the recipe laying on the table and "just have to" cook that fabulous cake or roast. This is the exception to the rule, though. I've had a battle with weight all my life so I'm really glad it works that way. But I absolutely love reading and thinking about and collecting the recipes. It is the height of my day. Hahaha. You all have a great day. Hugs, CAT ================ Rose in Wi. sent in a recipe for instant potato soup in a jar. I loved this. I would like to have more like it. Thanks - Francine, Southwest Florida ================ To Kathy in Alabama from Panny in Bedford TX: Thanks for your response. I copied a recipe for 4 layer cookie w/ a pecan crust and thought I could try that also. I love to bake but am a diabetic from a transplant (Kidney) So now I use all my will power to bake for others and not lick the bowl!! Life is good. Joe Trueba ========= I'm looking for a recipe of homemade carrot soup. As a kid the neighbor next door use to make it. I'd love to find the recipe.
