Hi Nancy and everyone! I just have to say, thanks so much to Linda in NM for her Sour Cream Chicken and Noodle Casserole. We are having it for dinner tonight with steamed asparagus! I sneaked a taste and it is great! I also cut it in 1/2 for just the 2 of us. Thanks again Linda!

Our recipe family has a lot of new members. There used to be posted a message at the top of each newsletter with the purpose of the newsletter. Somewhere along the way it has been removed. I will try and find it again and repost it.

The purpose of this newsletter is to share recipes and food related topics. Sometimes we get off topic and have a lot of chit chat, but main difference in this newsletter and other recipe newsletters is the recipes submitted and posted have been tried and used before they are sent. I am probably the worst one to get off topic and am guilty of talking about my cat, Ditto. For the past 12 years the newsletter has been a family of members.  We all care about each other.

So many of the messages that have been sent in recently suggest searching the internet for the recipe. The messages are generally not posted to our newsletter because the recipe(s) have not been tested by any of our family of members. I have gotten recipes from other email newsletters that sound great but find they are a waste of time because they just didn't turn out well. Hopefully the recipes sent in to this newsletter have few failures because the recipe has already been tested before they are sent to our daily newsletter.

Reasons some messages may not get posted
1. They are copyrighted and we do not have permission from that source to post them.
2. Recipes and messages that are in all capital letters or no capital letters usually are not posted. There are not enough hours in a day to make corrections to the message to post it.
3. Recipes and messages that have no punctuation or excessive punctuation (example ... at the end of a thought or sentence are usually not posted.
4. Messages that are abusive or insulting to a person, group, organization, company, country are not posted.
I do appreciate constructive suggestions that state a problem and a possible solution.


I used to make an awful mess of a beautiful pan of brownies when I cut them. Then I found Betty Crocker Brownie Mix FAQ's and started using a plastic picnic knife to cut them. Perfect! Lots of interesting info about baking brownie mixes here.

Here's an easy chocolate icing for Robin.
My recipe says make 1/2 recipe for 9 X 13 sheet cake, 1/3 recipe for 8 X 8 square pan and 1/6 recipe for a loaf pan. Heating the cocoa in the margarine gives a rich, chocolate flavor. You could probably use butter or shortening in place of the margarine, but I've never used them.

A chocolate icing recipe for robin as requested in the June 4th Nancy's newsletter.

Real Fudge Icing

2 cups sugar
2/3 cup milk
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 cup Crisco shortening
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix all ingredients together except the vanilla. Boil for exactly 2 minutes from boiling point, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Pour into mixing bowl and allow to cool completely. Then beat for exactly 5 minutes.

This icing is great on cake layers or chocolate pound cake. Should be great on brownies too. Hope this works good for you.

I think there are some studies about the fact that animals are very sensitive to changes in the atmosphere. Before earthquakes, storms, etc. I did a 'google' but all the stuff was the really scholarly research on the subject. I just thought that might account for the way Ditto reacts even though he doesn't hear the thunder.

Hello Nancy and everyone. In regards to the Hummingbirds everyone has been talking about. I just received my June 2009 issue of Birds & Blooms. The issue is all about hummers and includes 23 pages of tips, ideas and photos. A reader had written in asking about the red food coloring in the sugar water. The reply was: One of the older red food colorings was found to be toxic to the birds, but with the new formulations, it is no longer believed to be true. However they do go on to say that it isn't necessary to dye sugar water for hummers under most circumstances. The feeders usually have red or orange parts which provide enough color to attract the hummers or orioles.

Nancy, this is for Robin re: frosting
"Looking for a good, easy chocolate icing recipe that can be used on cakes or brownies".
Thanks! Robin

Robin, the following is the best chocolate frosting I have ever tasted.
The frosting is part of the Chocolate Sheet Cake, but using buttermilk instead of plain milk.

Icing: Bring to boil 6 tablespoons buttermilk, 4 tablespoons Hershey's cocoa and 1 stick of butter.
Remove from heat and add 1 lb box of powdered sugar and 1/2 cup chopped pecans(optional).
Spread on cake or brownies while both are hot.. This frosting covers the cake in a jelly roll pan.

Let me know what you think.

Carla in Mississippi, here is your pie. I don’t add the raisins, though.

Jefferson Davis Pie

1 Pie shell, 9 inch baked
1/2 c Butter
2 c Sugar, light brown
4 Egg yolks
2 tbl. Flour, all purpose
1 t Cinnamon
1/2 tsp. Allspice
1 tsp. Nutmeg
1 c Cream or evaporated milk
1/2 c Dates, chopped
1/2 c Raisins
1/2 c Pecan meats, broken

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cream together butter and brown sugar. Beat in 4 egg yolks. Mix together flour and spices and then add. Stir in cream, dates, raisins and nuts. Fill the shell; bake the pie until set, about 30 minutes. When cool take 2 or 3 egg whites and make a meringue as a topping. The dates are not necessary but a nice extra; without them and the nuts it is called a Kentucky or Arkansas pie. This is a great favorite in southern cafeteria and small town restaurants.

Becky
Regarding my Shredded Broccoli Salad recipe. S/P = Salt/Pepper
Also, a serving size would be equal to 1/2 cup per person. I did not include it in the original recipe but you could also add 1-2 tbsp cider vinegar for a little more pizzazz and maybe a dollop or two of sour cream. Sometimes I add shredded carrots or even a handful of raisins.

From this recipe I get about 6 servings from one bag of shredded broccoli mix (more if i enhance it with the carrots/raisins). For 120 people you would need approximately 20 bags of mix. However, as you know institutional size bags are available to nursing home residences. You would have to work accordingly. However, this is a very forgiving salad to make. I usually do not measure my ingredients. I do it all by taste.

I find that most cooking (not baking) is by taste and very rarely follow a detailed recipe. So far I get very few complaints when I serve the end result so I figure I must be doing something right by trial and error. There are no mistakes in a kitchen that cannot be corrected.

The bottom line with cooking is that it has to be fun. If it is chore to do then get out of the kitchen.

My grandmother and mom always told us that meals should be a time to gather with family and friends and make wonderful memories to leave behind whether it be coffee/and or a full meal. Enjoy what you are doing and it will all be perfection in the end result.

In the 5/24/09 newsletter Ella in Ca requested recipes for Shepherd’s Pie. In addition to this recipe, I have one that is made in the crock pot and one that uses ground beef. I think that this post will prompt others to send their favorite recipe for Shepherd’s Pie . It is my understanding that the original recipes used lamb instead of beef. . It is a great way to use leftover mashed potatoes, if you have them. You can use regular milk and sour cream, if you prefer and some choose to top the potatoes with their favorite grated cheese.

Marlene, this isn’t Panero’s soup, but one I put together. It is so good!
Chris’s Creamy Tomato Soup

Chris’s Creamy Tomato Soup
2 tbl. butter
1 med. (1/2 cup) onion, finely chopped
2 tbl. flour
1 qt. tomato juice (I used 1 can (14.5 oz.) tomato sauce and the rest chicken broth
1 (14.5 oz.) can Italian diced tomatoes with spices
1/4 tsp. salt – I used about 3 shakes dry Italian seasoning instead
2 c. milk
1/4 c. dry rice – or you could use small shell pasta, uncooked (optional)

Melt butter in large 4 qt. saucepan until sizzling; add onion. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened (2 – 3 min.). Stir in flour, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth and bubbly. Add tomato juice, diced tomatoes and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a boil – 8 – 10 min. Slowly stir in milk; continue cooking until heated through – about 15 min. Stir in dry rice. Turn heat to low, add lid and simmer till rice is tender. Serve immediately. I served the soup with slices of French bread. Makes 6 servings. Posted on Nancy’s message board under soups.

Thank you for the heads up on various Jell-O's. Will look into amazon.com. I prefer sugar free for my Jell-O's because I am always looking to cut carbs/calories in all recipes. I noticed that the new Elmwood Price Rite store had grape and kiwi flavors (not Jell-O Brand) when they first opened but not sugar free. Have not seen them since the opening.

This is the recipe that Marlene from Thursday's newsletter was looking for. It is from Panera's Restaurant and it is heavenly. Have made it and we love it.

Creamy Tomato Soup with Asiago Croutons
5 T butter
1/2 C chopped onion
4 T flour
4 C milk or heavy cream
2 C chicken broth
3 T fresh basil, chopped
1 1/2 t sugar
1 1/2 t salt
1/2 t baking soda
3 C tomatoes, chopped (fresh or canned)
1 loaf of Asiago bread sliced thick

Melt the butter in soup pot; add onion and cook over medium heat, stirring until the often is softened but not browned. Sprinkle the flour over the butter mixture and continue to stir and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and stir. Slowly add the milk, basil, sugar and salt - continue to cook and stir until slightly thickened Stir the baking soda into the tomatoes

ADDING baking soda to the tomatoes keeps the milk or cream from curdling.

Add the tomatoes to the milk and bring just to a simmer
Remove from the heat and put through a strainer
Taste and correct seasonings.
Reheat before serving.
Top with Asiago Croutons - the more the better

Make croutons for the top of the soup by cubing Panera Bread Asiago Loaf into 3/4 inch thick slices. Butter both sides of those slices, then cut the slices into bite-size cubes.
Bake the bread cubes in a 425º oven for 15 minutes or until crispy.

OK - here's what I did and won't do again.
I will use milk instead of the cream (1/2 and 1/2) and cut it down to 3 C to start - the soup was too thin.
I will put it all in a blender - I did not put it through a strainer and that may be why it was too thin - but I'll try the blender first

The croutons really make the soup - they are rich and thick tasting. So don't forget the croutons.

Good Luck -- hope you like it as much as we do.

HI Guys
I have a request for Sicilian spices or spice mix.
We just had a California Pizza Kitchen, Crisp Thin Crust, Sicilian recipe. It was very good, but I really loved the seasoning that they used on it. It is my first experience with Sicilian flavors. I was really impressed. So any help would be appreciated.

I really enjoy the newsletter and all the hard work Nancy puts in. I have gotten and tried many of your recipes.

Brownie Icing

Melt 1 stick butter and 6 oz (1 cup) semisweet chocolate chips together until smooth. Cool a little. Stir in powdered sugar until frosting is of spreading consistency.

Immediately upon removing brownies from the oven, pour a cup of chocolate chips evenly over the brownies. After about a minute to soften, spread with a knife.

Hi it's Marissa from Ft. Wayne I had a question about the better cake mix's. I was wondering what kind of flour you use, all-purpose or self-rising that could have been the problem I had with it not coming out right. Thank you to Chris for her reply to my Cincinnati chili, as I said I lived most of my life in Cincinnati and greatly miss it. The Grater's ice cream and the LaRosa's pizza yum. Chili here in Ft Wayne is Bad and the don't put cheese on there chili , when you ask for cheese the kind of look at you weird. I make my own Cincinnati chili and people all the time try to figure out what's in it Chris has a recipe listed for it thank you Chris I will try your version. At Christmas time everyone I know what's me to make them pints of chili as there gifts which is fine with me no size or color to worry about.
Thank you Marissa


Hi, Nancy:
In the June 3rd newsletter Lisa-Union Bridge, MD asked about strawberry jelly or jam. If she will purchase a box of Sure Jell, the sheet inside will have all the different recipes for making jams and jellies, both freezer and regular. That is what I use all the time. Just made a batch of freezer strawberry jam last week. And if you go by the directions, it will turn out just right, and delicious. Note: One box will only use about a quart of berries, so if you have lots of berries you may have to purchase several boxes. Thanks, and good luck.

Hello fellow Nancylanders, this isn't a recipe but rather a diet tip. Today I was watching TV and had eaten half of my peanut butter sandwich without it even registering. I tried to think of a way to add something to it to make it seem like more food. I have been buying smooth peanut butter to save calories since you can spread it thinner although I prefer chunky. So I chopped up a couple of mini-carrots into pieces about the size of the missing nuts and sprinkled them on the rest of the peanut butter inside the sandwich. It was great and I will be doing it every time from now on. I know it sounds kind of strange but give it a try and you may like it too. A CUP of carrots is about 52 calories and a tablespoon of P.B is about 95 calories.

For Lisa , I freeze shredded cheese all the time.
Judi in Mass.


To Lisa-Union Bridge, MD asking about freezing shredded cheese. I always freeze my cheese right in the package and just remove what I need then put it right back into the freezer. I usually buy the 4 cup bags at BJ's. Sometimes you have to break apart with a knife to get what you need but that is not a problem to me. It keeps forever and will not mold as it does in the fridge sometimes. Hope this is helpful to you.

For anyone who has lots of strawberries this time of year, here is a KILLER recipe for Strawberry Pie. It is soooo good.

Rosemary's Strawberry Pie
2 baked pie shells (Pillsbury refrigerated)

Prepare berries and let drain and dry. Leave them whole or cut in half if very large.
1-1/2 cup sugar
4-1/2 T flour
Small box strawberry Jell-O

Put in a pan and mix WELL with fork. Pour 1-1/2 cup boiling water over the Jell-O mixture and heat until it comes to a boil. Let it cool really well, about an hour.

Put strawberries into cooled baked pie shells. Put the cooled Jell-O mixture on top of berries. Put in refrigerator 1-2 hours or until jelled. Top with whipped cream or Cool Whip when ready to serve.

To Lisa in Union Bridge, MD. - I freeze shredded cheese all the time because I shop in one of those big box wholesale stores. I freeze it in the unopened package if the portion is suitable or I divide it into smaller portions, wrap it in plastic wrap and freeze it. It is not the type of thing you can keep in the freezer forever without noticing a difference in the taste and texture, but I have kept it at least 3 months without any noticeable difference.
Ellen in Pittsville, MD


Hi Nancy and all the Nancylanders, I learn so much here. All the hummingbird food I've ever bought has red coloring in it but I will make my own from now on if someone will tell me where I can find the the recipe please. I've been feeding them for years and they flock to my feeders and seem to like it, even orioles come and drink from it, but I certainly don't want to cause them any harm, so thank you.

To Lisa-Union Bridge , MD in the June 3, 2009 newsletter
I freeze packages of shredded cheese (all kinds) all the time and have done so for years. I simply put the bag in the freezer when I am putting up groceries from the store unless I am using all of the cheese within a couple of days. If I’m using it in a recipe I remove it from the freezer 15 to 30 minutes prior to making my recipe, take out what I need and refreeze. I’ve never had a problem with it.

o Anne in middle ga. In my opinion, do not waste your money on Loud n Clear. Mom tried one, worked for about a week, a lot of static and feedback, cheaply made product. Can't find anyway to return product and get money back. But the upside is she has decided to get a hearing aide after using the product. Hope this helps in your decision.
