I don't understand the internet much and I
can't understand how you can afford to have recipes that are free. I see
ads but how do they work?
I am new to the internet and don't understand a lot about it.
Rita
Yes, the site is free. I have one popunder that comes up the first time
you enter my site. It doesn't show up again for another 24 hours. I
get paid a small amount per thousand for new individuals that enter the site.
I also have text ads on the site. If a member sees one of those that they
want to visit that also earns a little. As long as people continue to come
to the site and as long as they see a few text ads they like and want to check
out the site will stay online. Currently about 1 out of every 30 people
signed up for the newsletter visit the online version.

Hi Nancy,
We have a smooth top stove (GE) and have had it for
over a year. It is great! We have had no problems with it nor has it cracked. I
use both a
new set that is flat bottomed and also a set that is old and kind of warped.
Both work just fine and cause no problems! Love it!
Also, with the Home Cookin' Program, I agree with you. It is much faster and
better than any other program out there. It takes up so little "space" on the
hard drive, too. I love mine!

I have been a member of this newsletter since 1996.
There was a member that posted a lot of really good recipes several years ago.
Is Lisa East Texas still a member. She always
had the best recipes. Could she post a few of her favorite recipes for us
on this newsletter. I would appreciate it very much.
Karen
I used to make Sloppy Joes
when I was a girl and the recipe called for tomato soup and grated cheese.
Anyone has a recipe using tomato soup?
Thanks Marcy from Oklahoma
It has just occurred to me that I have not yet found
a Copycat recipe for Crescent Rolls similar to the
Pillsbury ones. There are a lot of recipes using them but they are expensive and
I don't buy them often. If anyone knows of a recipe, I would be ever so thankful
. Nancy, this deed of love you spend so much time on is more appreciated than we
can express. Just know that we are continually grateful to you for presenting a
site that gives us so much .
Vida, from Ohio
I'm on AOL so I don't get your e-mail but my daughter
had cox and she forwards it. What a pain. I was wondering if anyone knows where
to buy Salt Rising Bread? I dearly love it and used to buy it when I was in
Oklahoma City but the store doesn't make it anymore. I'm in Nebraska now but
would love some.
Thanks, Billye

Just a thank you for all your efforts in putting out
this newsletter. It is the highlight of my day! Going from a city of 100,00 to a
town of 600 really has it's drawbacks. So you put the smile back on my face. I
need some help on some recommendations for my Corian countertops. I absolutely
hate them! Does anyone have any advice for me. I would so much appreciate it.

I'm looking for an old
Amish recipe for creamed corn. Anyone have a recipe like that. Usually

About 2 weeks ago, Maria requested a
Lemon Pudding cake Recipe. This was a favorite of my young
family in the 60's and 70's, purchased as a mix at the store, and is no longer
manufactured.
The recipes provided by readers all called for the hassle of stiffly beaten egg
whites, etc.
In today's newsletter (9/11), you provided a link to Nancy's Kitchen, Puddings,
for a bread pudding. So I connected, and as I scrolled down, saw "Lemon
Pudding". The description of what Maria and I remember is perfectly described!
Without the hassle.
Wanted to share with Maria!

In response to the person who uses only
Diet Mountain Dew in her punch, I would caution you
not to use diet pop that is sweetened with aspartaine or Nutra-Sweet(diet
Mountain Dew is sweetened with this). Many people, including myself are highly
sensitive to aspartaine. It causes severe memory loss (I am not even able to
count to 10 if asked to do so) and gives me migraine headaches. Doctors tell
their pregnant and nursing moms not to use it! It can also cause seizures in
some children. My daughter's neurologist told us not to give it to her. Search
the web and you'll find more health problems associated with this product.

I am looking for a recipe that was in the
4-H books back in the early 50's into the late
50's. It's called Red Devils Food Cake. It was a
moist cake that had cream of tartar and if I remember right sour cream and
coffee.
Thank you. Laurae
Nancy you are doing an excellent job keeping everyone informed. I just
love this site and welcome each newsletter and can't wait for the next one to be
sent. You are an angel sent from heaven. I went to a potluck dinner
and someone had made strawberry Whoopie pies. They were delicious.
Does any of your readers have a recipe for strawberry Whoopie pies?
Thanks, Liz
My grandmother used to make
English P asties about every week as we had men

onions, potatoes, please.

"Re: is whipping cream the same as heavy cream?
From: Tami Smith
Remote Name: 66.109.235.4
Comments
Technically yes, there is a slight difference in the fat amount in the two, but
for recipes they can be used for each other. Many recipes will call for heavy
whipping cream, or heavy cream(whipping cream) etc. It depends on your markets
and what they carry. I have never seen the two sold side by side, only "Heavy
Cream" and "Light Cream" in my area. Tami
The other day I went to Staples Office
Supply and purchased a large 3-ring notebook binder and a package of clear tab
index sheets with paper inserts for labeling that come in the package. The clear
tab index sheets are more sturdy and easy to see through. I wrote all the
categories I need to use on the paper inserts and then inserted them into the
plastic tabs. When Nancy's newsletter comes out I go to the recipe, just
highlight to select the recipes I want and print them. To file my recipes in the
notebook binder, I use a 3-hole punch and then file them under the category I
have chosen. When I need a recipe all I have to do is open my notebook binder
that I have organized myself. I have even made a label for Household Hints.

Here is my delicious chili recipe. It's
simple and always great!!! You can adjust the tanginess by altering the amount
of CHILI SEASONING you use.
Chili
1# ground chuck (browned & drained)
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
3-4 garlic pieces (chopped)
1 LARGE can CAMPBELL'S TOMATO JUICE
1 med. - large can BROOKS CHILI BEANS in chili sauce
1 can tomatoes (fresh if you have)
1/3 or so green pepper (chopped)
salt & pepper to taste
1-2T chili seasoning ( more if you want)
I can judge the amount of chili seasoning by the color of the chili in the pot.
Taste it too!
Mix all the ingredients together in a pot, kettle, Nesco roaster, or crock pot.
Simmer 1hr. or so covered. I take off the cover near the end of the cooking
time, since my family likes a thicker chili but do it longer in a crock pot.
Nancy Capko, Streator, Illiinois

1 cup butter

one at a time, beat well after each addition. Combine dry ingredients and add to
creamy mixture slowly. Add vanilla and beat well.
Pour into greased and floured pan. Bake @325 for 1 hour 15min. Glaze with 1 cup

Hi Nancy: I had a recipe for muffins made
with Heath Bits of Brickle, but cannot find it anymore. Would anyone out there
have this recipe or anything else made with Bits of Brickle other than the
cookies or brownies which are on the back of the package?
Many thanks...Bambi
I am looking for a recipe called
Taos Monkey Bread. It has raisins, blueberries and
pinon nuts in the recipe. Does anyone have this recipe and would they share it
with me.
Mary
Just remember seeing a recipe for putting
chicken legs(skinned) in a crockpot and adding ingredients like maybe BBQ sauce
or some sauce.. . I always read your material and thought maybe it was in that
Carolyn
Comment
It is in the archives on Alicia's Kitchen online. Please just check the
archives. I have over 50 requests a day that want me to search through the
archives for a recipe. I just don't have the time to do it at this time.
Several of my host where my sites are hosted did an update to protect against
viruses and trashed over 12000 of my pages. I spending about 12-15 hours a
day getting those pages straightened out. I still have over 5000 pages
have no formatting and all links on the site no longer work. Currently several
sites are down until I can correct pages. If you notice I have almost repaired
all of
Nancy's Kitchen. The links are temporarily at the top rather
than at the side because I didn't have time to go in and correct the links and
formatting on all 7000 pages on that site. I put them all on one shared
page and can change the links from one page rather than 7000 pages.
RE: Sept 10 newsletter, in which Carin in
hurricane ravaged FL asked for a Lemon Apricot Cake. Carin, you are in our
prayers. We lived in Florida for 3 1/2 years then came back to Texas. I also
lived on the island of Okinawa back in the 1960's and we weathered many typhoons
while there. My motto became: "This too shall pass." Now on to the CAKE!
My mother gave me this recipe shortly after I married 50 years ago. This happens
to be my daughter's lifetime favorite cake and a must for her birthdays.
LEMON APRICOT CAKE
1 package White Cake Mix (OK to use yellow)
1 3 oz package lemon flavor Jello
4 large eggs
3/4 cup apricot nectar
3/4 cup Crisco oil (I use canola)
1 teaspoon lemon extract
Grease & flour a tube pan, preheat oven to 350 F.
Put all ingredients in mixer bowl in order listed; mix at medium speed 4
minutes.
Bake at 350 for 50-55 minutes. Cool in pan no more than 10 minutes; remove to
rack to cool. Carefully poke holes in top of cake, and while barely warm, spoon
1/2 of the glaze over it. When completely cool, drizzle with remaining glaze in
decorative pattern.
GLAZE
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice (I use bottled if I don't have fresh lemons)
Add half of lemon juice to powdered sugar stirring to mix well; add remaining
lemon juice a teaspoon at a time until you get the consistency you wish.
Enjoy. Flo Clark
Last year I had a
cookie recipe that used the "old Fashion chocolate
drops" melted. Does anyone have an idea of what this was?
Thanks, Donna
I would love a recipe for
sour cream green bean casserole.

There were another 32 recipes for banana bread. Many were alike or similar
to the ones posted in the newsletters in the past several days. To avoid
duplication and seeing the same recipes over and over again they were not posted
in the newsletter. Thanks to Alice, Donna, Lisa, Jon, Jack, Lynne and
Terry for taking the time to send in their recipes.
