I wanted to try a different kind of potato salad for bbq weekend/

Just wanted to thank Robbie IN for that great Macaroni Potato Salad that was in the May 16,09 newsletter. It was delicious. The only thing I added to it was some Horseradish sauce (The white one in a jar with sauce, not the plain hot horseradish). And a spice that I put on everything to wake flavors up Goya Saz'on in the white package. Thank you for a keeper.

We attended a graduation backyard B-B-Q a couple of weeks ago and a WONDERFUL all-fruit salad was served. The dressing was delicious. The lady who made it gave me the recipe. It's so simple/easy and I've made it several times since.

First, chop up in a large bowl any fresh fruit like strawberries, peaches, grapes halves etc.,** Next, drain well and chop any other canned fruit like pears, plums, etc. and add to the bowl. Also, add a can of well drained fruit cocktail.....THEN,
Drain well 1 large can pineapple tidbits, saving the juice. Add the drained pineapple to the bowl of fruit.

To the saved pineapple juice, whisk in 1 sml. pkg. Instant vanilla pudding until well dissolved, being sure to get any lumps out.
Pour over fruit in bowl, mix well to coat all fruit. Chill well.

** If you use sliced bananas be sure to add last (just before serving) to keep them from turning brown.

There was no newsletter on Saturday.  I spent the day traveling from  Arizona back to Texas.  The last 3 weeks have been spent with my sister-in-law in Arizona while she was healing from a hand injury and surgery.  She is doing better and her brother has come to help her for several weeks.  This time I did not take Ditto with me.  He was well cared for by a friend.  Since my return last night Ditto has wanted my undivided attention.  It is always good to come home when one has been away.  Ditto is glad to see me at home.

For Sue in Illinois
Concerning the wet carpet odor. If the carpet is put down on top of a pad, then the carpet has to come up and the padding thrown away. You can then wet vac the carpet and put a blower on the bare floor. They can be rented. After the floor is completely dry, then the dried carpet, if it is salvagable can be put down on another pad. Once the pad gets wet, it cannot be saved and that is probably where the odor is coming from.

It’s going to be cold in Colo for the holiday weekend but one good thing about that --- no severe sunburns! I am going to have a board meeting at my house at 9:00AM next month. Usually a small breakfast/brunch is served. I would like to serve a breakfast casserole but don’t know what to serve with it besides orange juice and coffee. Any suggestions??
Judy in CO


Nancy, your thoughts for the day the past 3 days have been just wonderful and I really needed them! Thanks, again!

These answers are for the 5/21 newsletter.

Linda in ABQ., your turkey meatloaf is listed in the May newsletter recipes. http://www.nancyskitchen.com/2009May/default.html
I save this link to my favorites so I can find recipes easily. There is also a great search area.

In the 5/19/09newsletter AnneE from Pa was looking for a chicken Couscous salad recipe that she lost. I hope this is similar to the one she had, if not exactly the same.
Robbie IN

Chicken And Couscous Salad
3 c. chicken broth
1 1/2 c. couscous
1 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tsp. thyme
2-3 c. snow peas, or frozen green peas, thawed
4-5 scallions, thinly sliced (into some of the greens)
1/2 green pepper, diced
1 1/2 c. diced cooked chicken
2 tbsp. raisins
2 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. curry powder
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Pinch of red pepper flakes
1/4 c. chopped nuts (You can roast the nuts, if you prefer. Some use pine nuts, others use almonds or pecans.)

In a medium size saucepan, bring the broth to a boil, add the couscous, parsley, and thyme and cook the mixture for 30 seconds. Remove the pan from the heat, cover it and let the couscous stand for 5 minutes.

If peas are fresh, steam them until just tender. (Do not cook frozen ones, just thaw them.) Place the peas in a large bowl; add the scallions, green pepper, chicken and raisins. Pour the hot couscous over the chicken mixture and toss to combine them well.

In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, curry, and oil, black and red pepper. Pour this mixture over the couscous mixture and refrigerate for 1 hour. Sprinkle the salad with nuts before serving.

This is a salad, but can be served as a main dish as it has protein, carbohydrates and vegetables all in 1 dish. Great for summertime.

Marriann in Kentucky your Strawberry cracker pudding in the May 19 newsletter where does the 2 cups of cool whip go?

Hi Nancy, If my memory is correct, the Hot Dog Bun Custard was originally sent in by Tona. I'm sure it is probably in your archives if not it could probably be found on Tona's website.

Hi landers,
Thought I would pass this on. My grandkids won't eat whole grain bread, but they love croutons, even whole grain. I buy day old whole grain, rye and pumpernickel loaves, slice them with a bread knife into 3/4" strips then cubes. Spread on cookie sheets, spray with butter spray or olive oil spray, sprinkle with garlic salt or any salt free seasonings you like. Dry them out in 190 degree oven. 2-3 hours is usually enough. Seal in freezer bags. They keep weeks in the cupboard at less than half the cost of fancy croutons. Great for salads and casserole topping. If I have leftover cornbread, I cube & dry it too. The crumbled ones in the bottom are perfect for seasoned bread crumb recipes.

Nancy, I'm back!!!!!! I lost your site about two months ago, and have been emailing every address I had, and finally this morning found out the yahoo address and enlisted again to get back on board. Praise God! You may not have missed me, but I sure have missed you and the group. I felt like I had lost my best and most valuable friend, or should I say friends. I missed my cooking group. I don't know what happened to my site where a hacker hack me out, but Oh how glad I can get my favorite people. Betty T. Ga.

Comment
So glad you are back. AOL has always been a problem. Until enough AOL members complain that they signed up for the newsletter, double opted in, and expect to get their newsletter it is probable that many AOL users will not get the newsletter by email.

I missed you and all your recipes and comments. As many of you know, when I do not see your name for a period of time I do check up on you either by email or phone. Each member is important to our recipe family and has made the newsletter it is today.
Nancy Rogers


I am sending two messages today.  If you get the one with nothing but the link and do not get the one with the thought for the day and other links please let me know.  I am especially interested in how many AOL members are getting the newsletter. Send email

Banana Fritters
Makes about 15 to 20 fritters. Adapted from "Cooking up a Storm,"
edited by Marcelle Bienvenu and Judy Walker, Chronicle Books, 2008.

2 medium bananas, ripe but firm, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup milk
3 cups vegetable oil
Powdered sugar, to sprinkle
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

* Start to finish: 20 minutes.
* In a medium bowl, combine the bananas, flour, sugar, egg, salt and baking powder. Add enough of the milk to form a thick pancake batter. You may not need all of the milk.

* In a deep saucepan or in a deep fryer, heat the oil to 360 F. Once the oil is hot, drop the batter in by large spoonfuls, a few at a time, and fry until the fritters float to the surface and are
golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes.

* Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fritters to paper towels to drain, then sprinkle with powdered sugar and cinnamon. Serve immediately.

This is for Ella in CA who was needing ideas for a ladies luncheon. This is a very simple quiche and it freezes great! Sometimes I freeze the whole pie after it has cooled or I'll cut into slices and freeze in plastic containers.

Broccoli/Cheese Quiche
Brown one 9" deep dish pie crust at 450 for 10 minutes. (I always use a prepared crust; Marie Callender is good). Fry 6 strips of bacon and save the grease. Cook 1 medium cut up onion in the grease. Mix together in a large bowl, bacon (crumbled up), onions, 1/4 cup diced Swiss cheese and 1 package of thawed and drained chopped broccoli. In a small bowl beat 4 eggs (eggbeaters are ok), 1 cup of heavy cream, 1/2 cup milk and a dash of salt. Mix well and add to the other ingredients. Mix and pour into pie crust. Bake at 450 for 15 minutes, reduce heat to 350 and bake 20-30 minutes until golden brown.

I got this recipe from my mom and it is simple and yummy!

I have started a garden and would like to know if you can preserve cabbage and yellow squash?

Thank you for all of your hard work. I enjoy your newsletter and can count on you for any recipe I need.

In Wednesday's messages, Patricia in Ky. mentioned the webpage Recipematic.com. From the description she gave, this would be very helpful to me as my husband recently had open heart surgery and I have to cook very very low salt. At 83 years old this has become very stressful for me (to say the least) However, in trying this address, I can't get thru to any site. Tells me there's no listing. Hopefully, Patricia can give us a corrected address. Thanks so much.

To Atlanta Pat: My recipe is a canning recipe and requires cooking. If you have fresh tomatoes:

Salsa
6 lbs fresh tomatoes (plum are best)
3 cans tomato paste
2 large onions fine mince ( Vadala are nice)
1-3 chile peppers fine mince (If you don't like heat, leave them out)
2 large green peppers med or fine mince your choice yellow peppers also look nice)
1 cup finely chopped celery
4-6 cloves (your choice) garlic, fine minced
scald and peel tomatoes and chop coarsely
I would do all but the tomatoes in a food processor

In large sauce pan , bring all ingredients to a simmer and simmer 10 min until veggies are soft. at this point you decide hot thick you want your salsa. If it is right discard the juice , if to thick add some juice. If you like it thicker, simmer longer. My canning recipe calls for 1/2 cup of white or cider vinegar, but this is to raise the acidity for canning. If you are going to serve it, you can leave it out. If you plan to keep it in the fridge, I would use the vinegar. Add it last before you start to simmer.

You can also use cilantra, but my family doesn't like it.
you can also up the heat with more chile peppers or hot sauce if you like. When I am using this recipe to can, I eliminate the hot peppers and garlic and use 1 envelope of Mrs wages salsa (find it in the canning isle at the Beginning of summer) Proceed with the canning process. Makes about 7 pints

Re: Mayo . . . If you have an Aldi's store in your area, their salad dressing and mayo both list oil as the first ingredient. . .and it is much cheaper than the brand name.

Judy in Buffalo: 5/19 N/L. . .Do you use a pie crust for your Easy Fruited Jell-O Pie?

Barb in FL: Your post in the 5/4 N/L for Fluffy Rolls lists 3/4 c. flour but 1-1/2 c. buttermilk. This is a large amount of liquid for so little flour?? Would you please check and correct the amount of flour. Thanks.

Marissa in Fort Wayne, IN: 5/19 N/L. . . I have e-mailed Kraft regarding the Relish Cheese Spread but have had no response as of now.

And speaking of Kraft: Has anyone tried their Margarita, Pina Colada and/or Strawberry Daiquiri Jell-O flavors? They are so good. . .we especially like the Margarita in the cottage cheese, pineapple, Jell-O, Cool Whip salad. Kraft tells me these flavors are "seasonal" (no wonder I couldn't find any all winter) and will be available "around Memorial Day". I'll be stocking up as soon as I can find some.

Thanks to you, Nancy, for putting our recipes and ideas together to share with everyone. And thanks to all the contributors. I have used, and shared, many of the recipes and tips and am always looking for more. (^_^)

Mary Alyce in WI where finally it has warmed up a bit.


Nancy and Nancylanders, I just want to expand on what Knitter in Illinois posted in the 21 May 09 Newsletter regarding Duke's Mayonnaise. Someone posted a suggestion a year or longer ago about Duke's and since I was no longer enhanced with Miracle Whip which I'd used for over 25 years, I looked into the Duke's - and very glad I did. There are several versions of the Duke's Mayonnaise available for ordering on line. I've been buying their regular mayonnaise in a 4 pack of 32 ounce jars and I've been extremely happy with the results it gets. If anyone is interested, go to: dukesmayo.com. I don't remember about the shipping charges but it seems to me that the shipping was included. The 4 (32 oz) jars sell for $20, which makes it $5 per 32 ounce jar, but I'm happy to pay a little extra to get a good product.
Mr. Myron Drinkwater - Lake Forest, CA.


Thanks to Marge in OH; Sandy in Iowa; Leah, Judy/Buffalo; Doris, S. Indiana; and any others I may have missed, for their thoughts and suggestions about the black ants. They probably came inside because we have had so much rain this spring. I haven't seen a single one since the sun started shining! We are supposed to have rain off and on thru next Wednesday, however, so they will probably move into my bedroom again!

And, Nancy, thanks to you for allowing all us 'Landers to have this forum for the exchange of recipes and ideas. Girl, you are awesome to do all the things you do! Apparently, you are tireless.
Donna in NW GA


Hi Nancy and Ditto
For Carolyn, who in today's newsletter asked about the Miracle Whip "clone".....

I Just Last Week tried Springfield Brand Salad Dressing, and made my good old Tuna Mac recipe with it, and am almost embarrassed to admit that I ate the whole batch on my own, in a few meals. It was JUST LIKE THE OLD MIRACLE WHIP used to taste! Nice and creamy and tangy, right consistency and right flavor. I was so happy to have tried it! I think that perhaps any of the "store brand" salad dressings might do, just check the ingredient label to see that oil, and NOT WATER, is listed as
the first ingredient.

For what it's worth, I bought my jar of Springfield Salad Dressing right next to the mayo at our local Food 4 Less, which is associated with both Ralph's(west coast) and Kroger(east coast)

I hope you find it, and enjoy whatever you make with it as much as I did mine!
Lauré in North Hollywood

Nancy thank you for putting the newsletter together for us. The printer is not working today so I have had to remember the name of the one salad and the ingredients in the other one. Tonight we are having chicken with Italian seasoning grilled inside. Not sure what else we are having. Tomorrow we are having Barbecue Ranch Chicken Salad from the Kraft site. To this salad I am add ½ of a small, 8 oz., can of Mexican corn, some BBQ sauce, Ranch dressing and chips crushed up in the salad. It sound so good.

A few days ago I was hungry for carrot salad. Will I had the carrots but nothing else. This is what I ended up with and I really liked it.

Susie's Fruited Carrot Salad
1/2 to 2/3 pkg. shredded carrots
1/2 to 2/3, 11 oz., can mandarin oranges, drained
2/3, 8 oz., can crushed pineapple, drained
1/4 cup raisins
3 heaping tablespoons sour cream
1/4 to 1/3 cup mayonnaise

Mixed all together and refrigerated it until time to eat around 4 hours. For some reason my DH and I continued to eat it until it was all gone. I would say it could serve 3 to 4 people with no problem.

Another salad that I have not made but will next week is Guacamole Salad from Barefoot Contessa at Home from the food network. This salad has grape tomatoes, yellow bell pepper, black beans, red onion, jalapeno peppers I am leaving this out, lime zest, lime juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic, cayenne pepper, and avocados. Instead of the jalapeno peppers I am adding ½ of an 8 oz., can of leftover Mexican corn. Avocados have the good oil in them.

Everyone have a great day. Nancy and 4 legged associate take care, stay safe and warm. Today, Thursday, 5/21, in Indy it is to be 80º plus.

Hello to Nancy Land, from Seattle. I am wondering if any of you wonderful people have some suggestions and recipes for a wedding reception. My daughter will be married in our church, but the reception is the biggest concern with money. If anyone has some tips, recipes and advice on how to put together the food for a 200 person gathering after the wedding, well I would be deeply grateful. We would love to host a reception that is more than "cake and coffee". A lovely buffet is what we'd all like to see happen. We're a bit overwhelmed.
Thanks. K in Seattle


For Marcie from Wis, bread machine yeast can be used in recipes that call for Rapid Rise Yeast, but cannot be substituted for Active Dry yeast. The Fleischman Yeast web site has some good info.
Frances is Wesley Chapel, Fl


Susanna in Louisiana, I'm wanting to make the cheese bread recipe that you sent in awhile back, but I need some information. You mentioned using a large loaf pan. I have the usual size for making a loaf of bread. It's a 9x5x2 (I left off the fractions). Is that the large size? Today I'm making the Blueberry pie recipe you sent in so I'll let you know how I do. I wish I could cook like my sister, mj, Indy, but I always need everything spelled out to me. Sometimes I might add a little this or that but I'm not real daring. :) That's just one more reason I love the newsletter. I've learned a lot.

Susie Indy, I'm sorry you and your husband are having health problems. All those shots give me the shivers! I hope they help. I'm in the age of patch, patch too, and I'm about ready for a condo also.

Frosting Tip, Expanding Frosting
When you buy a container of cake frosting from the store, whip it with your mixer for a few minutes. You can double it in size. You get to frost more cake/cupcakes with the same amount.
