For Gloria Dixon... Where did you find the Master Cook Program. I cannot find it around here. As I have said, I have Master Cook version 5 on one of my computers but Jim says it needs to be a higher version. I searched and so far have not found it at any of my stores.
Thanks,

I found MasterCook 9.0 for sale on Amazon

I don't use Mastercook myself. I like the ease of HomeCookin. I will import in many formats including MasterCook format. For those that like a lot of recipes for MasterCook (or HomeCookin) Mad's Recipes is a great site. They have many different recipes. He has no ads on his site and has so many recipes to share. You do need to allow for popups so that the recipes can be downloaded. If you download recipes I recommend making a donation to his site. He has worked so hard on his site for many years without any revenue coming from the site..

Hi everyone. Here is another handwritten recipe from the boxes full of recipes. It is stained and faded, but I have another copy since this was not only my favorite cookie when living at home, but is my own children's favorite. This original recipe only has the ingredients with "ungreased sheet-350--10 min" at the end. I assume she made this copy for herself and NOT for inexperienced bakers. My copy has the directions, so here goes:

California Rangers

1 cup shortening like Crisco
1 cup white sugar
1 cup light brown sugar--packed
2 eggs (large)
1 tblsp milk
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

2 cups rolled oats (not instant)
1 cup coconut
2 cups corn flakes

Sift flour, soda, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Set aside. In large mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugars, add eggs one at a time and mix well after each addition. Add milk and vanilla. Mix. Add flour mixture a little at a time to the creamed mixture, scraping bowl often. Now add rolled oats, coconut and cornflakes. Mixture will be thick. I have always added these last 3 ingredients by hand mixing with a wooded spoon.

Place rounded teaspoonful of dough on ungreased cookie sheet*. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.

*I have used my hands to squeeze the dough together from the teaspoon before putting on the cookie sheet.

These are chewy cookies and so good.
Wishing you sunshine, Nancy, furry friends, and all the members of our newsletter family.

This is a T&T recipe that my daughter made for a family gathering. It is so good and so easy to make.

Pork Tenderloin

1 lb. thick bacon (not smoked)
1/2 c. soy sauce
1 T. minced onion
1/2 t. garlic salt
1/4 t. salt
1/2 c. sugar
Dash pepper

Wrap bacon strips completely around tenderloin. Combine rest of ingredients and marinate tenderloin 3 -5 hours. (5 is best) Bake at 300 degrees uncovered 2-3 hours (3 is best) Baste often (every 15 min. or so) Cool slightly. Slice in thick slices to resemble filet mignon. So tender!!

The kitten, That One, has been spending much of his time out of the yard each day.  Thursday he was attacked by a pit bull dog in the neighborhood.  He did not live through the attack.  He managed to make it to my backyard before he died. 

Yellow One and Little One are OK.  Yellow One now lets me pet him and waits for me when I come out to feed them.  Little One spends most of her days indoors with Ditto. 

Today Tom and Karen came over.  Tom was watching a football came (with his eyes closed.) Ditto  and Little One were asleep in his lap. All Little One wants for Christmas is a lap to lay on and a loving home.

is my sister-in-law's sister. I was looking at the site this evening and can't believe how talented they are. Their carved wooden clocks are all unique and so beautiful. Each item they make is made with love. Recently I got a cribbage board. It is so pretty. Now if I could just remember how to play cribbage again. Will have to look up info on the net.

Does anyone have a recipe for the Chocolate Wave Cake from Red Lobster. It is a dark moist chocolate cake served with vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup. It is to die for. I would love to make a cake like this, if anyone can help.

Hello to all:
Re: newsletter 10-9-09 Duffy wanted lotion recipe; it is in March 15, 2008 newsletter.
Great lotion! Carolyn, Tulsa

Hi Nancy:
This is for Duffy's request in October 10th newsletter. I too think this lotion is great. I mix mine up in a gallon zip lock bag and it works well.

Thank you Nancy for all your hard work in getting the newsletter into our mail boxes. They are the first thing I look at and read. Lots of interesting recipes and things to learn. Have a great day.

Body Lotion

1 -15 Oz. bottle of Baby Lotion
2 - 4 Oz. jars of Vitamin E Cream
1- 7.5 oz. Vaseline

Put all three ingredients in the large mixing bowl, and blend well with the mixer, using the rubber scraper to assist. When well blended, fill jars with screw-on lids, label, wrap and enjoy! The baby lotion helps give it the lovely fragrance, and remember that Vaseline also contains Aloe.

Hi Nancy & Ditto, Re: Oct. 10 N/L. Sharri in Mi. I don't have a miniature muffin tin but always bake my muffins in a muffin top tin. I usually use a packaged muffin mix, and have found that 10 min. at 350 degrees is perfect for the "Tops". DH says muffin tops don't crumble like the regular muffins do when you eat them. We have these several times a week.

Sylvia <Scotland>, I, too, thought something might be missing or else a misprint in Dianne in Wisconsin's Crockpot Caramel Rice Pudding. I can?t believe it calls for 3 cups of rice! 3 cups of raw rice would make a tremendous amount of rice pudding! Dianne, can you help us here? Thanks!

I checked three other recipes online for the Slow Cooker Caramel Rice Pudding. It states the same recipe but says 3 cups cooked rice.

Becky, I am sorry you didn?t get some of your Mothers? recipes! Don?t hesitate, ask your family now while you can, everyone, and make up a booklet like I did! You won?t be sorry. About 10 years or so ago, before my Mother passed away, I wrote to all my aunts, cousins, sister and brother and Mom and asked for some of their favorite recipes they have made time and again. I also used some of my grandmother?s. I then compiled all the recipes into sections i.e. Appetizers, etc. and painstakingly typed them all up. Then I printed them up, adding some of my own favorites and made cookbooks! I gave Mom and my 3 aunts all hard copies, as well as my daughter and myself; and the rest I made discs for cousins, etc. I put a photo of my grandparent?s picture on the cover and sent them all for Christmas! I was so glad to have done that because my Mom passed away the following Jan. Some of those recipes are listed in Nancy?s old fashioned recipes to the left of the newsletters.

Thanks again, Barbara J

I read it on my Kindle.  It was originally recommended by one of our family of members.

This is usually an overlooked vegetable. It can be very tasty if served this way.

Spaghetti Squash Gratin

1 spaghetti squash
2 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbs chopped fresh thyme
2 tbs chopped fresh parsley or 1 tbs dried parsley
8 oz sour cream
3/4 cup grated Asiago, Parmesan or Romano cheese
S/P to taste

Additional 1/2 cup of cheese, 2 tbs melted butter and 1 cup (slightly crushed) croutons for topping the casserole

Cook squash your favorite way and let cool to touch. Carefully run the tines of a fork lengthwise over cut surface of squash to loosen spaghetti-like strands; scoop out strands.

Combine garlic, thyme, parsley, salt, pepper, sour cream, and 3/4 cup cheese in small bowl.
Fold into squash and place into a buttered casserole dish.
Top with remaining cheese/butter/crouton mixture.

Bake 475 for 20 min or until lightly browned.
For a little more crunch to the top crust I usually finish this under the broiler for a minute or two.

Hi Nancy ~ In the Oct 9th newsletter Chris from NM commented how she has trouble with keeping the breading on chicken. Also Duffy commented about she has the same problem. I am almost 80 years old and I found a long time ago that if you dip the meat in the flour first, dip it in the beaten egg (also add a little milk) and finally in the French Onion Rings, Panko bread crumbs, Crackers or whatever you are using, the breading will stay on the meat when it is cooked. I have just started using the Panko bread crumbs the last few years, or the French's Onion Rings, and they have become my crumbs of choice. Nice and crispy when they come out of the oven. If you know what the Coconut Shrimp from Red Lobster tastes like, the meat comes
out nice and crispy like them.

Hope this helps Chris and Duffy and anyone else that has a problem with breading not adhering to the meat.

I have been sorting through all the recipes I have used in the past. Here are two of my favorites.
Nancy Rogers

Peach Cake

1 white cake mix (2 layer)
1 cup milk
1 small package regular vanilla pudding mix
1 cup sour cream
1 (14-16 ounce) can sliced peaches, drained
1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip

Bake the cake according to box directions, in a 9 by 13 inch pan. Cook milk, vanilla pudding mix and sour cream. Set aside and cool. Cover top of cake with drained peaches. Spoon pudding mixture over peaches. Spread container of Cool Whip over the pudding mixture. Sprinkle nuts on top of cake.

Note: I tried using sugar free and low fat brands of the sour cream and Cool Whip. I also used the lite sliced peaches. It worked out well. I found that cutting the peaches in small pieces made the cake easier to cut and serve.

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
