Here is a great French toast bake a good friend gave me in 2004. I posted it then on Nancy’s message board under Eggs.

Stuffed French Toast from my friend Peggy
12 slices French bread, about 1/2" thick
1 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese
4 eggs
1/2 c. sugar
3 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
your favorite jam - optional (my added ingredient)

Spread softened cream cheese on half the bread slices. Arrange evenly in the bottom of a 9 x 13 x 2" baking dish which has been sprayed with Pam or equivalent. *At this point you may spread the jam on top of the cream cheese.* Arrange the remaining slices of bread to cover the cheese. Beat together the eggs, sugar, milk and vanilla. Pour over bread. Cover with plastic wrap and keep in the fridge overnight (or 4 - 5 hours). Sprinkle top with brown sugar/cinnamon mixture and place dish in a 350º preheated oven. Bake about 45 minutes, or until puffed and brown. Serve immediately. Serve with syrup or fruit topping.

This is a great summer dinner or appetizer!

Chris's Hot Wings
1 pkg. drummies
1/3 c. butter
1/4 c. hot pepper sauce (Louisiana Hot Sauce) OR to taste
little garlic powder
2 - 3 dashes Tabasco sauce
1/2 tsp. liquid smoke
1 - 2 small shakes salt

Melt butter in a small saucepan and add sauces and spices. Mix well and then cool. In a zip lok, combine wings with the sauce mixture, tossing to coat evenly. Bake wings on foil-lined baking sheet for 1 hr. at 425º F until fully cooked and crispy.

If you wish, you may grill wings with coating on the grill at med. high heat with the lid closed for 30 - 35 min. or until no pink remains and the juices run clear, turning occasionally. You may also deep-fry wings, with sauce on, in hot oil, 400º F for 12 min. and drain. If you choose to grill these, I would use one of those basket thingies so those little drummies don't fall through the grates! Enjoy! I serve these with fries and cole slaw - my own recipe. (The cole slaw recipe was in a recent newsletter.) posted under Grilling/BBQ on Nancy’s message board.

For the person who requested a recipe for sour cabbage

I have not tried these recipes ,but will as I add sauerkraut to my cabbage rolls and serve with sour cream.
Sandi

Sour Cabbage
Take heads of cabbage and blanche them in boiling water. Take out leaves and put in cold water. Cut out the rib and cut into pieces that will make cabbage rolls. Pile them into a crock or food grade pail. In a stock pot boil 20 cups of water with 1 cup of pickling salt (coarse salt) and 2 tbsp sugar. Let cool and pour over cabbage leaves. Place clean towel over top, a glass plate and weight. Let sit in cool area for 8 days. Each day take off towel and plate and rinse off scum. After the 8 days you have your leaves. Good luck

I've made lots of sour cabbage and it's much less expensive than the bought ones if you can find them..take as many heads of cabbage as your container will hold (I use a crock). Hollow out the core of each head, fill it with pickling salt, and place it core side up in the crock. When all the heads are in, partially fill a large baggie with water and place it on top to hold the heads down, then gently pour warm water down the side until all heads are covered. In about a 6 weeks you will have sour cabbage. Freeze them, and the leaves will fall off easily. I usually do this in the fall when cabbages are inexpensive.

I forgot to ask in the first message that I sent was does anyone have a TNT recipe for fried dill pickles. I know that it doesn't sound good but they were excellent. We had dinner at a pub and they had the fried pickles. Oh so good and I would like to make them at home. This place made them so they were not greasy. Thanks in advance.

Everyone have a great day. Nancy and 4 legged associate take care, stay safe and warm.

Recipes using Buttermilk (updated today)


Nancy we were out of state the last week of April. I have trouble sending an email to you on our Lap Top. I am glad that I can read them and then when we get home I copy the recipes and answer any question.

In the 4/25 newsletter Kathi in Gorman TX wanted TNT recipe for Blue Cheese Salad Dressing. I have another one that I have to look up because I have not made it for a while. The following one is good as a dressing and a dip for hot wings.

Doris S. Indiana in the 4/25 newsletter I have been gone for a week on one of my DH business trips and just slept and relaxed all day. It felt so good. I guess I have thought that if dinner was not ready for him he would not eat. Also to answer your question Doris about what our next move will be. Right now we are thinking of going into a Condo because you will not need to shovel snow, do yard work or the like. We have a couple of condo that are very nice near us and do plan to stay in the area that we are in now. We will miss the flowers that we like to plant but with my hip replacement and shoulders done it is hard to get yard work done. Also my DH is still having trouble with the pain down his leg. If this doesn't stop soon he will need to have it operated on. I have no idea what he could do after that. It is nice to be at the age of patch, patch and patch some more.


To grannym IL in the spinach salad I have add oranges and grapefruit or one or the other. You could also add nuts if you wished. I have not done that.

Please, please Nancy don't stop publishing this newsletter. As I have said earlier that I read this when we are on the road. This newsletter is the tops, I would miss reading it and getting new and different recipes and tips.

We have been on the last business trip that we know off for the year. The insurance company has cut back on travel because the travel budget was cut in half. They can do the same work from there desk but the person in charge of the unit like to have the personnel contact with each office.

Everyone have a great day. Nancy and 4 legged associate take care, stay safe and warm.

Old Fashioned Recipes (Updated today)

Sandra from Oregon, there are lots of rhubarb dessert recipes in (4/30) newsletter for you. Rhubarb can be frozen easily! I just clean it and cut it in pieces ready for cooking, put in a freezer bag and freeze! You don’t need to blanch it first! Good luck and enjoy your rhubarb! Chris in NM

Mariann in Kentucky, your recipe for Shortbread Cookies in a Pan sound great! Bet you could also use 1 can of your favorite pie filling in place of the preserves, too! Yummy! Chris in NM

I forgot to say, that my rhubarb pie recipe in the 4/30 newsletter is also posted on Nancy’s message board under Pies!

Vera, a good friend of Polish descent gave me this recipe quite a few years ago. It is very good. Don’t know if this is what you are looking for?

Stuffed Cabbage Rolls - TNT

Meat mixture:
2 lb. ground beef - raw
1 onion, grated
1 carrot, grated
1/4 c. cooked rice *
1/2 tsp seasoned pepper
1/2 tsp. garlic powder

Mix together. Set aside.

Sauce:
1 can stewed tomatoes
2 small cans tomato paste
1 can (1 1/2 c.) beef broth
1 can (1 1/2 c.) chicken broth
¼ c. red wine
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. seasoned pepper
2 tsp. sugar

Mix together in medium large pan and heat.

Remove core from medium to large cabbage, down as deep as you can. Place in large pot with about ¼ filled with water. Cover and bring to boil. Boil 4 minutes.** Remove individual leaves from cabbage and fill each leaf with about ½ c. meat mixture; fold in sides. Starting at an unfolded edge, roll up leaf to completely enclose filling. Place seam side down in large baking pan. Continue with each cabbage leaf till all meat mixture is used. Pour sauce over the cabbage rolls. Cover and bake at 325º F for 1 ½ to 2 hours. This meat mixture makes enough for about 20 - 30 cabbage rolls, depending on amount of mixture per leaf.

*I make a 4-serving bowl of rice, using ½ c. dry rice with 3/4 c. water and then steam for 35 minutes.
**I leave the cabbage in the hot water on low while taking off the leaves to keep them pliable. Posted under Beef on Nancy’s message board.

Since it is getting pretty hot most places, here is a good crock pot recipe from Nancy’s message board under Crock Pots.

Basic Meatloaf
2 pounds of lean hamburger
2 eggs
2 slices bread, in small cubes

Beat eggs and add bread cubes. Add enough milk to moisten all. Add hamburger, onion and squish all together with your hands. Season to taste.
Place in slow cooker, shape to fit, flatten. Pour catsup on top, enough to cover completely.
Slow cook on low all day, 8 to 12 hours. You could add green pepper; tomatoes, but make sure you drain the can; garlic; and bacon.

Tomato Gravy over Biscuits

4 tablespoons bacon or sausage drippings
3 rounded tablespoons flour
About 2 cups water
½ small can tomato paste
Salt and pepper
Hot biscuits

In a skillet, stir flour into drippings over medium-high heat. Let flour cook and brown; keep stirring, don't let it burn. When roux has browned, pour water into skillet while stirring with a whisk. Whisk in tomato paste until well-blended. When gravy begins to thicken, reduce heat to low. Lightly salt, and add pepper to taste. Add a little more water if gravy becomes too thick.

Serve with love over hot biscuits, along with bacon or sausage for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner

To Sara in FL regarding the To Die for Roast - it is a slowcooker (crock pot) recipe. My crock pot is VERY old, so does NOT cook very hot like the
newer ones do. If you use a newer one, you might want to cut the time some even on low. (Only difference in a slowcooker and crock pot is, "crock pot"
is the Rival trademark.) Hope you enjoy your trip to Key West!

I am looking for 2 recipes. The first one is for a cheesecake that is no bake. These are the exact ingredients, I just don't know the proportions: cream cheese, lemon curd, sugar, heavy cream (which I think is beaten and folded into the cream cheese mixture. It is poured into a lady finger crust.

The next one is for an Italian (bagel) called taralles. I buy them all the time at an Italian deli. I buy the red hot type. I had found a recipe, but it isn't what I wanted.

From April 22nd Newsletter: To Mariann in KY RE: her additions for "Better Cake Mixes". Are you saying if the cake mix calls for oil, eggs, and water you add all that and then add ALL these additions? I want to be sure. Cake is my very favorite dessert.

Last night for dessert for company I made Cupcakes with the Duncan Hines Devil's food cake mix dry with the can of Pumpkin. I ate one plain and loved it, but since I was having company I iced them with my white homemade butter cream which made them beautiful and I loved them even more. I'd been wanting some of my icing, so I was thrilled it went so well.

I'm always behind reading, but I sure LOVE this Newsletter. Nancy you are just amazing I can barely get things read let alone work so tirelessly on this project.
Thank you. Joie in TN

Hi Everyone! In "B"s defense. We may have all taken her comments out of text. I too get disappointed when no newsletter appears in my box. I would think that is totally human. It's like not hearing from your family. I'm sure that's all she meant.

Absolutely EVERYONE, has these in their lawn. I thought maybe this might be a way to 'celebrate' them.

Dandelion Wine
1 gallon dandelion blossoms
1 gallon boiling water
1 lemon, sliced
3 oranges, sliced
4 pounds of sugar
2 tablespoons of yeast

Pour boiling water over the blossoms. Let set 3 days. Add sugar. Simmer 15 minutes. When warm, add lemon and oranges. Add yeast and let set one week. Strain and bottle.

I haven't tried it yet. But I intend to. Good luck and let me know how it works.

If you bake as much as I do, I'm sure at one time or another you have needed Sweetened Condensed Milk, only to find the pantry is not supporting this item. lol. I have the solution:

Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 part white sugar
2 parts milk

Cook together until thickened -225 degrees or "jell" on a thermometer. Use in cookies or wherever you wish.

I've tried the ones using dried milk powder and found they give a bit of an "off" taste. I'll be using this one next.

I planted rhubarb four times before I got it to grow. This year I have one huge hill. My mother told me (I'm 71) that you should always pull the rhubarb, not cut or break it, and the more you pull it, the more it grows. In other places where I've lived I've had rhubarb clear into the fall by doing this. I picked and chopped enough yesterday for a rhubarb crisp or cobbler that I make. When I get time, I'll include the very easy cobbler recipe.

I have a question for our Nancyland friends. I love Almond Bark, the recipe says to use melted white chocolate. Could you use chocolate chips instead? What is the difference between the chocolates?

Hi Nancy and newsletter followers: I would be happy if Nancy could only do newsletter once a week. Every day is great, but do what you have to. It's a lot of work and time to produce these newsletters.

Rhubarb in the Near North (where I live) in Ontario, Canada comes up much later than some of you in the USA. Buds are just peeking through right now. I love rhubarb, it’s a favourite since I was young – finding it and dipping stocks in sugar. Unfortunately my new house has many trees and it does not grow as great here, but I have lots of friends and neighbours who have large patches and I beg, borrow and steal from theirs. I have a multitude of rhubarb recipes, but the one I have here is a recipe found in Chatelaine Magazine and it’s a winner. At first it will look like its too dry and thick, but I followed the recipe and it’s a hit. I wrap these up for presents each season to friends who love rhubarb, but don’t cook or pick rhubarb. Hope you enjoy – and keep any new rhubarb recipe’s coming.

Breakfast Loaf-Chatelaine Jan 1998
Prep time: 25 min. Oven Temp: 350 degrees Cooking time: 1 hr 15min or up to 1 hr 30min

2 1/2 cups (frozen) or 2 cups fresh rhubarb
1/4 cup sugar
2-3 oranges
2 tbsp sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups flour (all purpose)
3/4 cups of sugar

3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/3 cups of butter – melted (margarine will work also)
3/4 cups pecans or walnuts (Optional – I don’t use nuts)

Step#1 – Measure out rhubarb. (If defrosting-drain well and pat dry)

Finely chop rhubarb. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease 9x5 inch loaf pan. Stir rhubarb with ¼ cup of sugar – set aside. Grate orange peel to make 2 tbsp. Squeeze juice for 1 cup (add frozen concentrate if needed) Take 2 tbsp of juice and mix in a small bowl with 2tbsp of sugar and set aside to glaze loaf.

Step#2 – In a medium bowl – beat egg. Stir in orange juice 1cup minus the 2 tbsp, add orange peel and vanilla. In a larger bowl - Measure flour, ¾ cups of sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt, blend together and make a well in middle. Pour in cooled melted butter and egg mixture. Stir till mixed. Note: Very Thick and Dry Batter . Add rhubarb (& optional nuts). Stir until evenly distributed.

Step#3 – Add batter to pan (will fill loaf pan). Smooth out top and bake on centre rack in 350 degree oven till golden brown and pick comes out dry. (About 1 ½ hours depending on oven – check after 1 1/4 hrs.) Place on a cooling rack in loaf pan and pour orange/sugar glaze on top. Cool about 10 min. Take loaf out of pan and finish cooling.

Loaf keeps covered at room temp for 2 days or wrap air tight and freeze. Great with cream cheese.

For Mariann in Kentucky. Your recipe reminded me of the one that I made when my children were small and we lived in Newfoundland. My recipe came from a Better Homes and Garden Cookbook. Since this was in the early 60's, the cookbook was from the 50's. Unfortunately that book went the same way as lot of other cookbooks that owned; Hurricane Ivan destroyed them for me. Thankfully, I had the recipe written down in a notebook which has survived all the hurricanes that we have had here. Thought I would send the recipe in too.

I would also like to say that all the brownie mixes can be made to be cake type by adding an additional egg (in addition to what the mix calls for) to the mix.

Brownies (Cake Type)
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs
2 squares un-sweetened chocolate
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Melt shortening and chocolate together over very low heat, stirring constantly. Cool. Beat eggs till light; stir in sugar, then chocolate mixture and vanilla. Add sifted dry ingredients, mixing well. Add nuts. Bake in greased 8'X8"X2" pan at 350º for 30-35 minutes. Cool - cut in 16 squares.

I an hoping someone from this group can help me out. I am looking for a copycat recipe for rotel tomatoes. The little cans in the store just seem to be expensive considering the ingredients. Hopefully canning them this summer will prove to be less expensive. Thanks!

I was wondering if any one knows how I could make roast beef at home to taste like the deli roast beef you buy at grocery stores. I don't have a rotisserie and just baking in the oven always seems to make it dry. I like it the way the deli's sell it. Also what cut of beef is it? What spices are used?

This is for Dobie/Las Vegas who was looking for the aluminum dish pan. There is a small very unique hardware store in Athens, Alabama called UG White that has things you could never find anywhere else. You can order from them on line and they will ship directly to you. I LOVE going into the store when I visit Athens, but have ordered many things on line. The web site is www.ugwhite.com.

In regard to the days we were without Nancy's Newsletter, specifically the 3 days due to computer problems or storms: After the second day I realized with a sinking heart how much I would be missing if Nancy's newsletter was no longer there. Besides Nancy and her lovely stories, there are thousands of people out there who have become part of my daily life through this wonderful newsletter that I would also be cut off from. It may sound melodramatic, but I actually felt a feeling of grief.

Hello Landers, in the May2nd newsletter Margo asked this.
Lou in Fl sent in a recipe using left over chicken from the deli. Does she mean rotisserie chicken or deli sliced chicken? Does she chop it into small cubes or finely mince it? can a food processor be used for this?
Margo/Boston

Yes, I mean to use the rotisserie chicken not the deli sliced. You may use any leftover chicken you have from another meal. I chop it in small cubes, but you could mince it if you want to I never used a processor for this, so don't know how it would turn out.
It is a pretty forgiving recipe, so play with it and make it your own.

ForCarolin with the rhubarb question --
I subscribe to the weekly Kansas extension service newsletter. They sent this information on rhubarb this week.
Leah
.
"Rhubarb, like asparagus, is a perennial vegetable. It is harvested for the leaf stem, which is also called a petiole. Some years, especially those with long, cool springs, rhubarb will produce large, hollow- stemmed seedstalks that arise from the center of the plant. These should be broken or cut out as they appear so that energy will go into plant vigor rather than seed production. It will take several weeks for
all the seedstalks to appear so be vigilant in removing them. Newer varieties of rhubarb are selected for vigor, bright red-colored stalks and less of a tendency to produce seedstalks than the older types. "


Hello Everyone,

Chicken Fricassee
A Southern delight that time has not quite forgotten yet. I got this recipe from my mother who got it from her mother

1-chicken, about 4-lbs, cut up
2/3-cup oil
1/2-cup all purpose flour
3-onions, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
2-bay leaves
4-6 cups chicken broth (amount depends on desired thickness of sauce)cayenne pepper, 1/4-tspn

Season chicken generously with salt and cayenne. Set aside. Make a roux by combining the oil and the flour in a large iron skillet over medium heat and stirring constantly until the roux is a dark brown. Add the onions and bell pepper and cook for about 5-8 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft. Add the chicken pieces. Stir to mix well with the roux mixture. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring often, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2 hours, or until the chicken is "fallin'-off-bone" tender. Adjust seasoning to your personal taste. Just before serving over rice, remove the bay leaves. This is good served with chilled tater salad and green peas.
