Also I am again trying to lose weight again. I have honestly tried every diet known to man, but the only one that really works for me is weight watchers. I am doing the points system because it works best for me. I have to be able to eat a variety of foods to be able to stick to a plan. I am again doing this on my own because I can not afford the cost of weekly meetings anymore. I considered on line weight watchers but there again if I could afford that I could afford weekly meetings. I am disabled and on a very fixed income. Everything thing else inflates except my monthly income. With the economy like it is, I do good to afford food. I have the books that tell you points values and I have an electronic points calculator. What I need is some new recipes. If you could include the serving size, the calories per serving, the total fat, and the fiber for the recipe then I can figure the values. That's one thing about meetings that I miss are the weekly recipes. They do help to keep a new lifestyle change from being boring. I mean I have tried some total flops to some very wonderful food. But that's with any recipe be it diet or not. Thanks ahead of time.

Oh, please.
Ditto will NEVER be off-topic. Ditto is one of us.
Julia in PA

Comment
Right now Ditto is watching the neighborhood children play while he is sitting on my computer desk. He is busy flopping his tail on the computer as I am working.  He is trying to get my attention but I am trying to effort to pretend he and his tail isn't there.  It is very hard to ignore him when his tail hits the enter key it moves the cursor while I am typing. I move Ditto and his tail over and in a few minutes there his tail is back on the computer.

Any regular (not fluffy) canned frosting can be microwaved without the lid and the foil seal and poured onto a cake to make a glaze. I usually use regular Betty Crocker canned fudge icing microwaved for about 1 minute, stirred gently and poured over bundt cakes for a great flavorful glaze without the work. Leftover glaze and be refrigerated and used later, or dip strawberries in it and roll it in sprinkles, coconut or chopped nuts let it set on waxed or parchment paper and enjoy. I've even poured it over graham crackers put a second graham cracker on top to make fun cookies.
Good luck, Nanette, Indiana

Hi Nancy, thank you for all that you do. Your email is one that I always look forward to. I would like to thank the following readers for their wonderful and helpful suggestions for my 70's party. Mary Kay in Manasquan for the bundt cake ideas, Dianne in Houston for the candle decorating theme, Betty in MS for various food ideas and Robbie in IN for the Watergate ideas. Robbie, if you would please share your recipe for the Watergate Cake, that one I don't have. Keep on cooking Nancylanders!!!

Group, I recently purchased a Bullet grill from Sunbeam thinking it would be nice to be able to grill inside without all the fuss for one person. When I got it the instruction were not very good, no recipe booklet. When I opened the parchment paper bags, it tore off the paper. I made a grill cheese sandwich first. It was ok. Then I thought I would grill a filet mignon steak. It said grill for 1 inch for 7 min. I did what it said, but it did not get quite done enough. I think the steak may have been larger than 1 inch. I would like to know if any of the group has the Bullet Grill, and has any suggestion on using it and recipes. I called asking if I could return it, because I am really not that pleased with it. They said no, they have no return on opened packages, because they could not resell. How do you test something to find out if you like it are not without opening package? Now I am stuck with something, I probably will not use that much. If anyone has any recipes are suggestion, would appreciate it.

Thanks for the info on converting oven time to crock-pot cooking time, I appreciate it and sure many others do also. I have checked the Sam's near me (1 and 1/2 hour drive) for the ECOS detergent and have not seen it. I really wanted to try it and was disappointed not to find it. Thanks for all the great info that is given to this site. All the time and energy that Nancy with the help of Ditto have done for us are greatly appreciated.

Information on lemon pie and topping.
I made a lovely lemon pie out of Jell-O cooked pudding and baked pie shell. Everything turned out fine. I left it set for about 4 hours and then refrigerated it. In the bottom of the crust was water, the lovely egg white topping got watery in the refrigerator.
What would cause this?

2 cups boiling water
1 cucumber, chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 bunch green onions, sliced

Dressing:
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

Makes about 8 cups, 12 to 16 servings.

PS: The Jell-O-cream cheese no crust pie using Pina Colada Jell-O with fresh nectarines is my hands down favorite! I went out and bought 10 boxes of the Pina Colada jello before it disappears.


Does anyone here have a recipe for bread pudding done in a Crockpot? I have so much extra bread in my freezer and would like to use some of it. I have recipes for the oven, but hate to turn that on if I don't have too. Thanks. Nancy, keep the stories about Ditto coming. I really enjoy them. I have allergies to cats so I don't have my own, I enjoy yours instead.

I want to say thank you to grandmasal in Idaho, Sylvia in Scotland, Diana in RI, Chris in NM, Barb in Ohio, Gloria in Indiana, and Shayne. Guess my mistake with stuffed peppers is not parboiling them. I will try that next time. I will do that search to check on other recipes for the peppers, too. You've all been a great help to me. Nancy's readers always help each other. That's what is so great about this newsletter.

Recipe Tip
If making deviled or stuffed eggs, cut a paper thin slice off both ends of eggs before cutting the egg in half crosswise. This will keep those stuffed eggs from rolling around on your serving platters.

Nancy: I would like to share a recipe from my files of over 50 years. This is a long recipe.

Polynesian Chicken

6 whole chicken breasts split (5 pounds)
6 chicken legs & thighs (4 pounds)
1 bottle (6 oz) Soy sauce
1 clove of garlic, crushed
3 jars (8 oz) Sweet & Sour Sauce
3 cans (1 lb. 1 oz. size) Fruit Cocktail

Preheat oven to 350. Wash chicken pieces; dry well with paper towels. Arrange skin side up, in large roasting pan.

Drain fruit, reserving syrup. Pour syrup and soy sauce over chicken. Add garlic.
Bake uncovered, basting often and rearranging chicken so all pieces will brown, for 1 hour or until chicken is a rich golden-brown.

Pour liquid from chicken into large saucepan. Cover pan of chicken tightly with foil. Add sweet & sour sauce to liquid; bring to boiling over medium heat; continue until sauce thickens and is reduced to about 3 1/2 cups--about 40 minutes. pour over chicken. Refrigerate, covered, along with drained fruit, overnight.

Next day, about 1 1/2 hours, before serving, preheat oven to 350. Bake chicken, uncovered and basting often, about 30 minutes. Add fruit, and bake, basting several times, 30 minutes longer, or until piping hot. Makes 12 servings

Note: This sauce can be made without the waiting periods as required for the chicken, just combine all ingredients and let cook for about 40 minutes.
Great for a family gathering.

Nancy;
I just have to tell you about the recipe that I made using rhubarb and a white cake mix. I can my own rhubarb sauce by making the sauce and them putting into hot quart jars (can use pint) and putting them into a water bath for 20 minutes. I used 2 cups rhubarb sauce and the white cake mix. Baked it and then when cool put a powdered sugar frosting on it.
Emma from Montana


This is for Lori R on the Margarita Shrimp recipe. You might try coating them with olive oil. My husband does this with steak that he is either cooking on the George Forman Grill or on the outside grill and it keeps the meat moist.

Making your own jell-o.
Use 1 pkg. unsweetened kool-aide; 2 pkg. knox gelatin; 1/2 cup sugar ;4 cups boiling water.
Can use any flavor kool-aide and what ever sweetener you use.

Hi Nancy,
I didn't have a question about Rosemary's Strawberry Pie recipe, I was trying to answer Chris NM question about it.

Even though the lady who posted the recipe was a little vague about the directions for the sugar and flour it was still understandable, to me anyway. :)

Like you said in the newsletter sometimes you just have to use a little common sense. :)

Hope you have a great week!

Here are some ice cream recipes from the 1920s.  They have not been tried but I I do plan to try them soon.  I plan to make half of the recipe and make it in a small ice cream freezer.  (The kind the inside is put in the freezer overnight and then put in the machine to make the ice cream.)  I am searching for recipes that did not have eggs in them. Plan to modify the recipe directions for my ice cream maker. Will let you know how they turned out.
