Hello Nancy, glad you had a nice visit with family. I love Thanksgiving because to me it is more about family than any other holiday. Not to mention, great food and no desperate gift shopping.

This Thanksgiving I ate a sweet potato dish that was very different from the usual syrupy kind with marshmallows on top. It definitely had some brown sugar in it but not overwhelmingly, and I'm pretty sure I tasted some citrus. The sweet potatoes were orange, not brown like some recipes. Maybe it had some orange juice? All I can say is, they were delicious and I could have made a real piggy of myself! Oh well, maybe I did. LOL I would love to get a recipe similar to this, so I'm hoping someone makes this kind too. I'd like to make it for our Christmas meal. Thanks for any recipes or ideas.
Doris, S. Indiana


Does anyone have a recipe for salted pecans? I would appreciate even a snack mix containing them. Thank you. Thank you Nancy for all your work!

My son-in-law loves pumpkin roll. It sells are our supermarket for $7.50 for a small roll. I wanted to make it for him for Thanksgiving, but don't have the time as I have a 98 year old mother living with me, who needs a lot of care. I searched the internet and came up with an easy pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting that tastes exactly like pumpkin roll (I think it is moister).

Pumpkin Spice Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Cake:
1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix with pudding
1/4 cup oil
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 - 13 inch cake pan with non-stick spray. Whisk together the pumpkin and spices and set aside. In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix and oil. Beat in the eggs, then fold in the pumpkin mixture. Stir in the vanilla.

Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in pre-heated oven for 40 minutes, or until a tooth pick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.

To make cream cheese frosting:

1 stick butter, softened
1 8-oz package cream cheese, softened
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Cream together the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Beat in the confectioners' sugar, mixing until smooth. Stir in the vanilla. Spread frosting over cooled cake. Cover and store in refrigerator.

Leah,
How do you get into the webtv user group? I can't do a lot of things with webtv that i used to do.I cannot print Nancys recipes and can not
get Q V C.
Thank you Pauline Pa.


I hope everyone a very wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving. I am so thankful to you Nancy, for all the time and effort you put into making this newsletter so special for all of us readers. Glad you had such a great time with your family, Nancy. Please give Little One and Ditto a
scratch behind the ears from me.

I have not had trouble with the Two Ingredient Fudge being soft, as someone mentioned. I use any canned frosting (except whipped) and any flavor of chips, even the ones that are in packages less than 12 ounces. I always store it in the refrigerator though, and I let it chill quite awhile before cutting it. I did try a quick fudge recipe that I think I like better. It tastes just like the old-fashioned fudge my mother use to make. The recipe may even have been one from here a long time ago?

Microwave Fudge

Combine in a large microwave-safe bowl:
3/4 cup butter
2 cups sugar
2/3 cup (5 oz. can) evaporated milk
Microwave on high for 5 minutes.
Add: 1 jar (7 oz.) marshmallow cream
1 cup chocolate chips
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Stir in and cook another 5 minutes on high, stirring half way through. Remove from microwave and stir till chips and marshmallow cream are melted. Stir in 1 cup chopped nuts (optional). Put into a foil-lined 9 inch square pan and chill until firm. Cut into squares. This is wonderful candy, and is VERY addicting! It ships well also.

A while ago one of the readers was asking for waldorf salads made with gelatin. I'm a little slow getting this sent in, but this is the one we really like so well.

Raspberry Waldorf Carousel

1 pkg. (3 oz.) raspberry flavored gelatin
2 cups boiling water
3/4 cup cranberry juice cocktail
1 cup diced apple
1/4 cup diced celery
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1 pkg. lemon flavored gelatin
2 cups Cool Whip, thawed
1/2 cup mayonnaise

Dissolve raspberry gelatin in 1 cup boiling water. Add cranberry juice cocktail and chill until thickened, about 1 hour. Fold in apple, celery and nuts. Spoon into a 6 cup ring mold and chill until set, about 15 minutes. Dissolve lemon gelatin in remaining 1 cup boiling water. Chill
until slightly thickened, about 45 minutes. Combine Cool Whip and mayonnaise; fold into thickened gelatin. Spoon into mold. Chill until firm, about 4 hours. Unmold. Garnish with crisp salad greens and sliced apples, if desired.

Nancy: I just wanted to share a recipe for a GREAT side dish that I got from my Aunt Alice in Newton, KS when I was looking for a scalloped corn recipe. I made this for the first time as a side dish for Thanksgiving dinner and it is so simple and so good that I wanted to make sure that all of our Nancyland family has access to it.
Mr. Myron Drinkwater - Lake Forest, CA

Crock Pot Cream Cheese Corn

2 (16 oz) pkg frozen whole kernel corn
1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes *
1 stick (1/4 lb) butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
salt and ground black pepper to taste (about a tsp each)
1 tsp granulated sugar (optional)

* For ease in cubing the cream cheese, place it in the freezer for 30 to 45 minutes to get it firm.

Place the frozen corn in the bottom of a crock pot. Add the cubed cream cheese and butter, cover and cook on LOW heat setting for 6 to 8 hours. After four hours, add the seasonings and sugar, if using, and stir well. Stir every 30 to 45 minutes after the first 4 hours of cooking. Serve hot directly from the crock or transfer to a serving dish. Yield: 8 to 10 servings.

Cook's Note: I used 2 packages of corn that were a combination of white and yellow corn and the presentation of the two colors was impressive, or so I thought.

Jet was asking if you chop or grind the peppers and cucumbers in the Corn Relish recipe I sent into the 11/1/09 newsletter. Yes, Jet you do. This is a relish recipe that my Grandmother, Mother and Aunts all made way back when. I typed the recipe as my Mother had it handwritten, word for word. I am sure whe meant to add that the peppers and cucumbers are to be finely chopped also, like the onions, but didn't. Sorry about that!

Tona's Spiced Pumpkin Fudge, in the 11/27 newsletter neglected to say when to add the butterscotch morsels. Mary Ann upstate N.Y., if you look a little further down the page you will see where I also sent in a pumpkin fudge recipe with the morsels. In that recipe you add the morsels as soon as you take the pan off the heat and add it with the marshmallow creme, nuts & vanilla. Hope this helps! Chris in NM

Nancy and associates:
Just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate that you are putting the links at the end of the newsletter now.

I have been clicking of the animal rescue sight for some time but sometimes it is easy to forget.

I just checked and the clicks are down for the past few days. I hope everyone will go there to give the free food to the animals.

Hi Nancy,

Margo in Boston was looking for a substitute for the Milk Crackers she used to use. If she would go to www.famousfoods.com and search for Heritage Mills Milk lunch Crackers, they might be what she is looking for. According to what I could find, they are supposedly very close to the same taste. Hope this is what she needs.

Sue's Bratwurst slow cooker recipe calls for putting cooked bratwurst in the cooker for 3 hours. I have never cooked bratwurst , so a question I have is, wouldn't the slow cooker cook them from their uncooked state in 3 hours? If not, how do I precook them? Do I bake, fry or boil them? Thanks

Last year, I bought sugar free chocolate chips at my local Meijer store. They were made by Hershey's. They do not have them this year. I have not asked them if they will be getting them again this year. I thought I would ask all of you if you have seen them anywhere.
They are kind of expensive but would love to have some more. I've used them in several recipes and they work well.

A big Thank-you to Chris in N.M. with all your help on the Savoury Kolache recipe

I used the kolache recipe at
http://homesicktexan.blogspot.com/2005/09/recipe-index.html

Diabetic in the home so I used whole wheat flour accept for 1 cup white. Dough was great to work with should be good with the sweet fillings In my area we cannot get polish sausage as you describe .ours are minimum 2 in. diameter

I tried some with the homemade breakfast sausage (same site) added extra hot spices and liquid smoke I cooked first used old cheddar and the pickled jalapenos, hardly authentic , but tasty just the same . We have made our own sausages including bratwurst but never the polish Guess it's about time we gave it a try. Our son in law lived in texas for many yrs and think it would be a special treat
Thank you again for all your help
Sandi


Nancy,
I think it is great that all we have to do is to click at the bottom of your newsletter to donate a box of that great Krafts mac and cheese to help alleviate hunger in America, and I hope everyone reading this letter notices and clicks on it each day. Thanks very much to Victor for letting us know about this. I have sent the website to all my friends so they can 'click' also.

I was looking through the Nancyland soup recipes and ran across this January 18, 2008 post, but could not find the recipe in the archives or scare it up on google. Does anyone have the "chic chic soup" recipe to repost?

"I don't remember who sent in the recipe for the chic chic soup, but I want to let you know that I made it tonight and it was delicious. I added some spinach and tiny turkey meatballs to it and the grandkids loved it. It is a keeper. Thank you.

In November someone sent in a candy recipe and said they also had a wonderful caramel candy recipe her aunt used to make and if she sent it in, I have missed it. Please, let me know what date this appeared.

And if it has not been sent in, please send it in as I have lost a long time favorite caramel candy I made for years while my husband was in the USNAVY for 24 years. Moving around I lost some recipes. thanks so much.

Thanks to everyone that gave me the Cranberry Cake recipe. However, I thought I caught a glimpse of one that used a boxed cake mix. Am I dreaming!!
Ella in CA


Thank you, ladies, for verifying the To Die For Roast recipe was correct.

I have taller empty spice bottles that I have filled with an envelope of brown gravy mix, Italian salad dressing mix and Ranch salad dressing mix; gently mixed together. I have typed a hang tag with the recipe and plan to give them as Christmas gifts.
