In the December 6th newsletter, Sally from PA asked for a recipe for home made noodles.
This is my granny's recipe and was requested at every family gathering I can remember. It's
easy and good!

Granny's Noodles

1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
3 tablespoons melted margarine
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Mix, roll, cut (this was my grandma's description! ) These noodles do not have to dry, you
can cut them and throw them right into the boiling broth, or you can let them sit a while, it
doesn't matter. I cut these noodles very thin, cause they do puff up when cooked.

Hi Nancy, this is for Joyce in KY who asked for a favorite Pumpkin Pie recipe. I used to make
the filling with canned evaporated milk, everyone except myself liked it then I found the
following recipe and now I will eat Pumpkin pie.

Hi Nancy! I just made some of your easy fudge again! Oh is this one good! This time I used:

Chocolate Bliss

1/3 pkg. 12 oz. deep dark chocolate chips
1 can of Betty Crocker triple chocolate fudge with chocolate chips frosting

Melt all ingredients except marshmallows, slowly in microwave as you do regular 2 ingredient
fudge. Stir to incorporate everything and smooth it all out. Add marshmallows and stir. Pour
into your tin. Refrigerate till hardened. Cut and serve.

This is for Sue who was wondering about using colored sugars on the Snickerdoodle cookies.
I made these a variety of ways. You can make a big batch of Snickerdoodle dough and
divide the dough into two before blending in two different food colors. You can make some
cookies rolled in the cinnamon sugar mixture. I also use the dough its usual shade, roll into
balls and flatten on the cookie sheet with a fork, like you would a peanut butter cookie. I
then sprinkle them with regular sugar and with colored sugars. I didn't know if the colored
sugars would burn more easily on the cookie sheet, so just sprinkled the tops. They made a
great tasting sugar cookie. I always had plenty of variety in my Christmas cookies, but did
this for my grandkids tea party. One cookie make in several ways made a pretty cookie
platter for them.
Sandy in Iowa


For all those holiday buffets, if you substitute a pickled okra for the pickle in the Ham and
Pickle Roll-ups, you will have a very pretty star in the center of the roll-up when you cut
them as well a very pleasant tangy taste.

Has anyone made fudge using Splenda? I have a friend who makes it-but she sells to the
public so I don't think she would give me the recipe. I would appreciate your input. Thanks,

Hi Nancy, Jan in Mo 12-4-09 N/L asked about reduced fat & sugar in recipes. I've used
Splenda and other artificial powdered sweetners and either low fat or usually skimmed milk in
my recipes, (DH is diabetic and I try to watch my cholesterol). Have not had bad results
with either.
Margaret, Tulsa

P.S. I also use Heart Healthy Bisquick when possible.


In response to Sue in the Saturday, December 5 newsletter, the Chocolate Creme Drop
recipe
is the same one Chris, NM, sent in that was published just below your question. Chris
had 3 recipes and the first one is the one I have attached to my creme drops. Chris' recipes
are half way down the page.

Chocolate Drop Fudge

1 bag of Old Fashion Chocolate Drops (white filling inside)
1 C peanut butter
1 Tbsp butter
Handful of chocolate chips

Place in microwave safe bowl and heat on high for 2 minutes (microwaves vary). Mix together
making sure to stir in any of the white center that may clump a little. Pour into 8x8 pan and
let cool at room temperature.

I would like a recipe for a cheese sauce that I could top vegetables with.

Went to a cookie bake and excange yesterday and one of the ladies made the recipe from

In the 12/3/09 newsletter Lolo in KY requested appetizers that were non dairy. Here are my
suggestions. All of which are always very popular; meatballs in various sauces, various types
of chicken wings, little smokies, stuffed mushrooms, chips with salsa, party crackers or party bread with ham salad, various snack mixes, such as Chex Mix, white trash and puppy chow,
vegetable tray with a non dairy dip, chocolate covered strawberries, fresh fruit tray with non
dairy dip, chocolate covered pretzels, egg rolls and various nut mixes. Recipes for each of
these items has appeared in past newsletters; let us know if you need help finding any of
them. You may wish to check out www. dairyfreecooking.about.com for additional
suggestions and recipes.

Good Sunday morning, Nancy,

I am responding to two requests that were in the December 5th Newsletter -one for Mary
Ann in Upstate NY, who wanted a cake flour substitution recipe, and the other for Fran in
Paradise CA, who wants to make a chocolate cake using her white cake recipe. I have used
both of these substitutions with good success. AtlantaPat

Cake Flour Substitution:
In a measuring cup, combine ¼ cup (2 Tablespoons) of cornstarch,
and 3/4 all-purpose flour. Sift with your dry ingredients. Then continue with your cake
recipe as usual.

Make a White Cake Chocolate: Combine 1 small package (3-3/4 oz) of instant chocolate
pudding mix with your dry ingredients, and continue with your recipe. This will make your
white cake chocolate, and will be moist like the pudding in a mix cakes.

You could use 3 squares of chocolate, but you will need to add sugar, cornstarch and salt to
keep your cake light and not bitter. I have had the best results with the chocolate pudding
mix.

Thanks Nancy. And you are so nice to share - but I appreciate you not sharing the snow
with us in Atlanta.. We were suppose to have snow yesterday, but we only had cold
weather with blusterly winds. A sincere thanks for gathering the information and providing
this wonderful newsletter for us all these years. I enjoy it so much! AtlantaPat


In Saturday's NL, Dec. 5, Joyce in KY asked for a
recipe for Pumpkin Pie. This is my new favorite Pumpkin Pie.

The recipe was copied from RecipeLion and revised by me in the the notes to the side. Of course, you make it however you like. I hope you enjoy it. BTW, you said you have learned how to make pie crust. Doyou have a secret you want to share?

Just a quick comment for those that don't know the difference in stuffing and dressing. If it
is cooked inside the bird, it is stuffing. If it is cooked in a pan by itself, it is dressing. I was
well into adulthood before I learned the difference. Merry Christmas all.

I looked through all the cookie recipes in my falling-apart 1950s Betty Crocker Cookbook and did not find a chocolate-pineapple cookie recipe.
However, searching "chocolate pineapple cookie recipe" brought up the recipe for a frosted chocolate pineapple cookie that sounded like what you are looking for.

For Sue,
Yes, you can roll snickerdoodles in colored sugars, or frost them. I am a celiac, & I use a
gluten free recipe for snickerdoodles. We always sprinkle them with colored sugars, etc.

Hi Nancy and all cooks and crafters. In today's TipNut.com they have instructions for an ice
wreath that would be easy to make. and the birds would like the berries when it melts.
Margaret,


With biscuits (and scones, for that matter) they’re the best when you first bake them. I tried
a stale one 24 hours later (they beckoned me) and it wasn't so bad but I chalk that up to
them being extra-awesome from the get-go. You don't need to make them at the last minute
because biscuits freeze excellently unbaked. Make them whenever you have time, flash
freeze them and store them in a freezer bag for a later day or freeze them right on your
buttered or parchment-lined baking sheet so they're ready to go when you are. You can bake
them still frozen, they'll just need an extra few minutes in the oven.

Hi Nancy. Does anyone know what milk sausage is? I would like to try these.

1 to 1-1/2 inches in diameter.

Comment
Here is the recipe I use for Sausage Balls. It is posted in the Bisquick section of the site.
Bisquick Recipes

brown, 5 to 10 minutes.

Nancy, I'm not sure if I'm responding correctly as I never have before, but I wanted to
respond to Margo/Boston's request for Milk Crackers in the 11/27 newsletter. I, too, use
them for stuffing, but Nabisco doesn't make them anymore. However, Stop & Shop carries
another brand, I think it's Heritage House. It's in a bright red box and is usually on the top
shelf. They're a little thinner than the Nabisco, but they taste the same. I was so happy to
find them. I hope this helps.
