Hello again Nancy,
This is for Chris in NM looking for a diabetic pumpkin pie. This is not specifically "diabetic" but can be converted easily. I renamed this recipe "Shelby's Crustless Pumpkin Pie" He's the one who doesn't like pie crust.

Pumpkin Custard
1 1/2 Cups Pumpkin Puree
1/4 Cup Apple Juice
3 Egg Whites, slightly beaten (I use the ones from a carton)
1 Can (12oz.) Evaporated Skim Milk (Scalded)
1 Tblsp. Pumpkin pie spice
1/4 Cup Brown Sugar Substitute

Combine all ingredients in mixing bowl and stir thoroughly. Pour into 1 1/2 quart souffle dish or 9 inch glass pie plate, sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle with brown sugar substitute. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes in preheated 400 degree oven, or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Makes 6 servings.

Recipe provided by Produce Marketing Association and the Produce for Better Health Foundation. Margaret, Tulsa.....I will be 70 years old in a couple of months. How time rushes by as we age.


Nancy, this for Edith in Michigan. The two fruitcakes, Earleen's Masterpiece and Sophie McKay's Chocolate can be found in the Nancy's November 3rd newsletter.
Florence in IL


I have a question for Dennis Weaver of The Prepared Pantry. Why do they NOT make a glass lid for glass 9X13 dishes? This just never made any sense to me when I have to put a recipe in a 9X13 glass baking dish and cover. I hate having to use tin foil because a glass lid with a handle on it would be so much easier.
Shelley from PA

Comment
I have a glass baking dish that is 9x13 that has a plastic lid. I got mine at Wal-Mart in Lubbock. I use it often.

Hello, everyone. Nancy, am trying to split these replies up so you can do likewise if you need to do so.

Hello Nancy. I have a request for a TNT salsa recipe called Cowboy Caviar. I recently went to a party where this dish was served and really liked it. I believe it had black eye peas and shoepeg corn and Rotel tomatoes in it. Not sure, but it may have had Italian dressing also. I am sure some of the great gals in Nancyland have a recipe for this and would appreciate their help.
Doris in Middle Tennessee


Hello all,
I'm looking for a good crock pot recipe for turkey breast.

Also, I posted this request several weeks ago and have heard nothing. Because we have some new members, I would like to try again.

When I was away at school, my dorm mother made what she called barbecued beef sandwiches; however, the sauce was NOT red. I have tried Worcestershire sauce and A1 steak sauce (not it). Does anyone have any idea what bottled sauce she may have used?
grannym IL


I make a huge batch of Kolochy's for Christmas each year. I usually fill them with, nut, apricot, pineapple, and strawberry fillings. I would like to fill some of them with a cheese filling this year also. Does anyone have a recipe for this type of filling? Thanks in advance.

BTW, I'm also a senior, 65 years young, 4 sons, one daughter, 4 grandsons, and 2 granddaughters.
Cheryl in Ohio

Hello Nancy and everyone
I have just been enjoying all the chat and recipes and suggestions.
This is the best site ever. Thanks, Nancy.
I made the easy fudge last night with my mother. She is 74 ( I am 56) and she just had to see if it would be good. I used milk chocolate chips and vanilla frosting and added 1 teaspoon vanilla. After it set in the fridge about 15 minutes, my mom and I tried it. I was surprised myself at how good it is. My husband loves it, so it will be a keeper.
I would like some cherry chips. Anyone know where I could get them. My grocery store doesn't carry them. Thanks in advance.
Shirley in Tyler, Texas


Can anyone tell me where I can find canned hominy in the supermarket. The store clerks look at me as if I have lost it. They tell me I am looking for grits but I use grits all the time and never considered it to be Hominy. Thanks in advance
Joan from Ma ( 65 years young no matter what they say. )


For Dorothy in IL November 10 N/L
I make this often, it is easy and tasty.

I don't know whether it's a Quiche or a pie but it is crustless and I have other similar recipes if you want them.

Easy Zucchini Quiche
For 6-8 servings
3 cups (1 lb) grated zucchini
1 onion, grated
4 eggs
1-1/2 cups grated cheese
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup self-rising flour
Pepper
Tomato slices

Grate the zucchini and onion, and place in a fairly large mixing bowl, with the eggs, cheese and salt.

Mix well with a fork. Add the flour and as much pepper as you like, and chop in any herbs you like. Pour the mixture into a 9" spring form pan. Top the pies with sliced tomatoes.
Sprinkle the tomatoes with grated Parmesan cheese. Bake at 400ºF for 25 to 40 minutes until the centre feels firm, and the top has browned. Leave to stand for at least 5 minutes before cutting into pieces.
Goes well with a salad.

Bob in Adelaide South Australia


Thanks, Nancy, for all you do for everyone. I am fairly new to this site, but look forward to it everyday - even Thursdays. Am I a senior at 61? I don't think so, but I think my kids and grandkids do! This is for Linda in TX (don't remember which day last week), who wanted an easy gingerbread cookie recipe. This a little different, but since I don't care for molasses, this is great!
VTMaid in PA

Gingerbread Cookie Recipe
1 (3.5 oz) package cook & serve butterscotch pudding mix
1/2 c butter
1/2 c packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 c all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp cinnamon

In medium bowl, cream together the pudding mix, butter and brown sugar until smooth. Stir in the egg. Combine the flour, baking soda ginger and cinnamon, stir into the pudding mixture. Cover and chill dough until firm, about 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease baking sheets (I use parchment paper). Roll out dough on a floured board to about 1/8" thickness, and cut into gingerbread men shapes (or any shape) with a cookie cutter. Place 2" apart on prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until cookies are golden at the edges. Cool on wire racks. Makes 30 or more cookies depending on size of cookie cutters. These freeze very well.


Someone had posted a recipe for dressing to freeze, does anyone have the date.  Nancy, I really enjoy your site and use the Home Cooking program to store my recipes.
Dairiel in Minnesota


Hi Nancy & Friends!
Several years ago, my aunt's mother brought an appetizer served in sauce dishes to our Thanksgiving dinner. It was tasty, made with whole cranberries & gingerale, along with other ingredients I can't remember. It was supposed to help you digest your dinner better:) None wrote down the recipe, Jean has passed away & I was wondering if any readers could help me out.
TIA Jan in NW PA


I have a request for information about Chocolate Hazelnut Spread. I bought a jar of it. I don't know why. I guess I was just curious. Now I don't know how I am supposed to use it.

What do you spread it on? Are there recipes that use the spread in it? Will somebody fill me in on this stuff? Thanks in advance.
Bette~Indiana


Hi Nancy,
I am replying to a couple requests from the Nov 10th newsletter.

Jean from Oklahoma requested a recipe for Popcorn Balls. I'm not sure if this is what she wants or not. My (late) friend Shirl made these every year as a Halloween treat

Shirl's Popcorn Balls
(from the kitchen of Shirley Walls)

1 cup white syrup
1/2 cup sugar
1 package Jell-O (pick your own flavour)
5 quarts popped corn

Boil syrup and sugar....add Jell-O, stir well
Pour over popcorn and when cool enough to handle, form into balls.

Gracie in Rochester, N.Y. wanted a recipe for making Gingerbread Houses. I like the Necco Wafer Gingerbread House recipe you can find it at:-
http://www.necco.com/FunLearning/Recipes.asp

Also there is lots of help at http://www.gingerbreadlane.com/
I hope these help.
I wish everyone a very good day. Also give the furry assistants a hug for me.
Betty in Canada.


Hi Nancy , I am replying to Brenda/Alabama's dilemma of not being able to "brown" her yellow squash. Most people will stop cooking their squash when it becomes tender and transparent.

I like to cook my squash, without boiling, in a cast iron skillet, however, using a non-stick skillet one can still achieve the browned-squash result.

Yellow Squash, My method:
5-6 Yellow squash, 1/2 medium onion chopped, 1/4 C cooking oil, S&P to taste, 1/4 C water

Wash and remove any blemish to the yellow squash, removing blossom and stem ends. Slice squash in rounds about 1/4 inch thick, halving the large section of squash so that pieces will not be so big. Heat about 1/4 C cooking oil in iron skillet (or skillet of choice) on medium-high. Add sliced squash, onion, S&P to taste and 1/4 cup cold water, stir and cover. Remove lid and stir occasionally until tender and transparent, 8-10 minutes, add small more water if necessary. When transparent and tender, remove cover, cook excess liquid out and allow to brown on bottom, stir and continue to brown, stirring frequently. I like for my squash to "stick" to bottom of skillet and then scrape it as I stir. (It is the starch converting to sugar and then carmalizing that gives the great flavor. One SIL said he never liked squash until he tasted mine.) Note: You may want to turn heat back to medium after it starts browning.
Enjoy Betty in MS


In the November 12 newsletter Sarah, MN was asking for a TNT recipe for Swedish Meatballs. Hope this is what you are looking for.
Jeannie form Henderson, Texas

I am late saying this but thanks so much to all who told me what was
acceptable to take to a Jewish family in mourning. I appreciate all who answered. Also, I wanted to say that I am a die hard fan of Nancy and her crew!! I copy far more than I know I really can try....but I WANT to!!!!! Wonderful hints and recipes and I have used so many. I will join the "older people" here as I am 71. Thank you so much, Nancy, for all
you do. Eleanor, Charlotte, NC


Another reply.
Betty in MS: what kind of rolls does your Carrabas restaurant serve? Ours doesn't serve rolls at all; they serve a small loaf of Italian country bread, and it is very good. We like it well enough as a dipping bread (in flavored olive oil) to have cloned it as closely as we can. Which reminds me. We are still hoping someone has the recipe (or method) for the dinner rolls at Little River Inn, New Iberia, Louisiana. We have tried to duplicate these also, but while we can get their butter-coated flavor, ours are not nearly as light in texture as the originals.
Sure hope somebody has figured them out.
Marilyn in FL


In the Nov. 11 newsletter Cheryl in Ohio said that she make the Brown Sugar Fudge and Lemon Meltaway cookies and they were great. Well I found the Brown Sugar Fudge recipe but I couldn't find the Lemon Meltaway Cookies, a lot of other good sounding lemon recipes. Could you please tell me what date they were posted? Or just send the recipe. Thanks for the help.

To Subscribers,
I feel sorry for the women who miss special foods from their childhood. Their grandmothers have passed on without giving them their favorite recipes and they have not gotten them from their mothers yet. Get them now while mom is still around. Do it now, while you still have the chance. Make up a book of your recipes that your children and grand-children especially like and save it for them.

I, too, enjoy this website and as others do, I look forward to it every day. As someone mentioned, asking for subscribers age, really opened a can of worms. I find it amusing that all you young whippersnappers are bragging about your age. I am 86 and will be 87 next month but I am not bragging, just stating a fact I believe that is the eldest so far.

Nancy, I have a question for the people that have tired the chocolate chip and icing or frosting fudge. What size container of frosting did you use? They have the 15 oz. and then a taller one and I don't know the size but would guess about 20 ozs. Thank you in advance.
Susie Indy


Well, wouldn't you know it. I had a solid plan for a recipe from your newsletter with tonight's dinner, and had set aside the printed out page. Of course, it got tossed in the trash by accident. I can't remember the name of it so I can't do a search. I am hoping one of you terrific helpers from this group may be able to recognize it from my meager description. I was a carrot recipe that you bake and I only remember that two other ingredients were sharp cheddar cheese and horseradish. Thanks in advance. Now I am off to come up with another idea for tonight's meal.
Donna in IL


Hello All, We are not usually a big green bean loving family but we have all decided we want some for Thanksgiving. Do any of you good cooks have any good ideas for frozen green beans?

Caroline MO thank you for the Mock Turtle Candy. It is exactly what my niece wanted and I have shared the recipe with her and she is "thrilled". Someone has always came through with any request I have ever made...great group of cooks here. Many thank.
BG in Indy


Hi Nancy,
First of all congratulations are in order for your constant work on this for our pleasure. I know I don't write often, but do read and enjoy each issue from you.

In the 11/11 newsletter, JeanCecil, WirtzVA and Zephyrhills, FL was requesting a recipe for thin molasses cookies. Here is the one I use whenever I need them. It's a recipe from one of my sisters and she uses it a lot, too. So I guess you'd consider it TNT!

MOLASSES CHIPS
3/4 cup Crisco
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
Beat all of these together until well mixed.

ADD:
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ginger

Mix these dry ingredients together and add 1/2 at a time. Store in the refrigerator in a quart container for at least a day and a half. Bake on buttered cookie sheet--1/2 tsp at a time and flatten with moistened fingers. Bake 300º - 350º for 5 minutes. (Time and temp may vary, watch closely) Cool slightly on sheet before removing.

This makes a lot of cookies and they don't all have to be baked at one time, you can bake what you need and return the rest to the fridge! Many thanks for all that you do in putting all of the thoughts and recipes together each day!
Rusty in Leesburg, FL


Hi, Nancy,
I hope you and your babies are doing well. I have a few answers from the 11/9 newsletter, and a question today.

For Sandee In West TN, have you tried putting a tube sock, with the leg part cut off, on your Chihuahua, Chico? You can cut holes for his head, legs and any other parts that need to be exposed. Maybe he would like that better than the sweater he refused to wear! Our Chihuahua, Duke, used to rub his body against the couch until all of his body would come out the neck of the sweater. Hard to keep one on him, too! Give Chico a big hug for me, and enjoy every day you have with him. We lost our two over three years ago and our lives will never be the same.

Linda was wanting to know how to keep cookies soft instead of them getting crunchy after they are baked and sit a while. Linda, put a slice of bread in an airtight container with your cookies and the bread will get dried out over the next few days but your cookies will stay soft. Change the bread as needed.
Linda in Texas was wanting a good gingerbread cookie. This recipe is wonderful. I may even have gotten it off this site, I don't remember, but I tried it last Christmas and plan to make it every year from now on. It's that good! If someone here sent this in, thanks!

The Best Gingerbread Cookies Ever!
1 c. butter or shortening
1 1/2 c. brown sugar
1 egg
3 T. orange juice
1 T. plus 1 t. grated orange rind
3 c. flour
2 t. baking soda
2 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. ginger
1/2 t. cloves
1/2 t. nutmeg
Dash of salt
Beat butter and sugar together. Add egg, orange juice and orange rind. Mix dry ingredients together and add to wet ingredients. Mix well and chill dough for 3 hours. Roll 1/4" thick and cut cookies into shapes with cookie cutters of your choice. Bake at 375º for 8 to 10 minutes. Do not overbake.

Now for my question: I like pecan pie, but I prefer one that's sweet without being TOO sickening sweet. Does anyone have a recipe to share?

Thanks, and I hope all in our extended family are doing well.
Sharon in Texas


Nancy just want you to know how great the newsletter is. I am a southern senior (almost 65). Have 1 son, 1 daughter and 1 granddaughter who thinks she has not had her breakfast if she has not had her grits and she is only 9 months old.

I wanted everyone to know that I made the banana roll that was in the newsletter a couple of weeks ago and it was divine. Have already made another one as has a friend of mine( she is 83). If there is anyone who is thinking of trying, please do.

I have 3 furry buddies who run my house. Don't you just love it when they get in one of their moods and start funning around jumping up on everything and everyone? I just sit and watch and try to stay out of the way.


Hi Nancy. For all us chocoholics out there, this is so simple.

Crockpot Candy
2 lbs. white almond bark
4 oz. bar German chocolate
12 pkg. semi-sweet chocolate chips
16 ounce jar unsalted dry-roasted peanuts
16 ounce jar salted dry-roasted peanuts

Put all ingredients in crock pot. Cook 1 hour on high. Do not stir. Turn crock pot to low and stir every 15 minutes for 1 hour. Dip out by spoonfuls onto wax paper lined trays. Cool and enjoy.

Makes a big batch with plenty to share! I've also used chopped pecans (sprinkle them with salt before adding) instead of peanuts.
PS--2 jars of peanuts is a LOT! I use 1 1/2 jars--(all salted) and that is plenty.

And my favorite grits:

Firehouse Grits
1 cup grits "Quaker brand if possible"
4 cups water
6 generous shakes of salt
6 generous shakes of pepper
1/2 stick of butter
1-1/2 to 2 inches of a block of Velveeta

Pour water, salt and pepper in sauce pan. Bring to a high boil. After water has boiled for approximately 1 minute, add grits. Stir the grits constantly to avoid lumping. Reduce heat to medium low. Stir grits every 30 seconds or so for 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Add butter and cheese. Stir until completely melted and mixed. Turn heat off and let sit to thicken a few minutes. Every minute or so whip grits until creamy. Serve hot and enjoy. Add salt, pepper, and a little garlic salt if desired. Remember this goes great with fried fish as a side dish! Serves 4.

I like cooking, but I dearly love the EATING!
Blessings, and Happy Thanksgiving everyone!


This is for Pat in SC - about 40 years ago it was my job to cook the turkey for Thanksgiving and bring it to my mother-in-laws' home (my husband comes from a very large Italian family). I had just moved to NJ and she lived in Brooklyn, NY. I got up real early cooked a big, beautiful turkey and was very pleased with myself. I then had to decide how to transport it to Brooklyn. I put it in a new pan, wrapped it in aluminum foil, laid 4 towels over it to cover all ends and finally wrapped it in a blanket (just like you do). My only problem was that I didn't count on the heavy, heavy traffic over the Verrazzano Bridge to Brooklyn. I was a new bride and thought the turkey would be destroyed. Well, it was and still is the best turkey we ever had. So the "blanket" works. Sorry to be so long but your story brought back great memories.

Every day Nancy I find this newsletter a source of good feelings - whether stories or great recipes. Thank you and bless all your efforts.
Dotty in NJ


I regret having to ask this, but would someone please tell me when the Fast Easy Fudge with 2 ingredients recipe was published? I have looked for it and cannot find it. I know it is just the chips and a can of cake frosting, but I need to know the directions.

I would like to add how much I am enjoying reading the ages and information about the newsletter members. It looks like the "Golden Years" age group is managing the computer age very well. <g> I was really surprised to see so many seniors participating in our newsletter.

And Nancy, thank you for making it all possible.
Sunshine in South Texas


Hi again, Nancy,
I'm sorry to post twice in the same day. I don't remember where I heard or read it a couple of weeks ago, but I ran across information that said although sage is fine to eat fresh or just cooked, freezing it can make it poisonous. I've never heard of such a thing and went to Snopes but could find nothing about it. Has anyone else heard this, or can someone tell me whether this is true or false?
Thanks, Sharon in Texas
