Hi, Nancy and all the wonderful cooks out there:
For Sally in PA: I will be happy to provide you with the recipe for Instant Banana Pudding as I have been using this one for years and when we have a covered dish lunch or dinner at Church if I do not take this pudding someone will ask 'where is your banana pudding'??? I usually make it in a trifle dish and it makes a very pretty dish. It is the same if I do not take the Grape Salad. So these are my staple dished to take.

Instant Banana Pudding
2 (3.4 oz.) pkgs. Instant vanilla pudding
2 cups milk (I use skim milk)
1 cup sour cream
1 (8 oz.) tub cool whip, thawed
Vanilla wafers
bananas

Blend together pudding and milk with wire whisk. Add sour cream and cool whip. Blend well. Layer vanilla wafers, bananas, and pudding.

To me this is the best banana pudding I have eaten. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do around here.

Out of town for part of the winter to hear frig not working. What can I do to get rid of odors when I return in about 2 weeks? Newspapers take out odors from furniture. Besides washing the entire frig down, should I be prepared for something else. Also we have mice so I will set out the traps when we get home. How do you keep the little things out. Where are they coming from--fireplace or through kitchen pipes? Any help will be appreciated.
Barbara

I would like to comment on the recipe for the Chocolate Vinegar Cake that was posted Feb.25 I have made this cake many times and always get rave reviews ,sometimes i double the recipe and make a 9x13 cake. Sandy in Iowa was asking if anyone wanted the Banana bread recipe where you slice the bananas into the mix.I would sure like it.

Hi Nancy and Furbaby,
As a hemodialysis patient whose physican has me closely monitoring my salt intake, I need to issue a strong precautionary note to Karen in WI and readers of this newsletter about using salt substitutes. Whether or not you choose to use these products depends on your physician's reason for asking you to limit your sodium intake. My reason for such limitation is kidney disease and we are very strongly warned at my dialysis clinicagainst using these salt substitutes because almost all are very high in potassium, which is another "no-no" for kidney patients because a too-high consumption of potassium can bring on a cardiac arrest because of the inability of our kidney's ability to filter potassium from our bodies. For this same reason, kidney patients are admonished to forego tomatoes, potatoes, orange juice, bananas and most, but not all, root vegetables.

Nancy has cautioned us about receiving and giving medical advice to our reader family in the past and we must continue to be very careful about doing so. Although I can't use salt substitutes, I have found Tony Chachere's (I'm from Louisiana, of course) salt free 'Cajun seasoning to be a very tasty non-potassium alternative to salt (it's a bit spicy). By all means PLEASE ask your doctor before using salt substitutes.
Gail in LA

Hi Nancy, trust you are getting better by the day! I know you have the best nurse in the world at your side!

Karen Wisconsin, thanks for the www.alsosalt.com site, I for one am checking it out. I also have an addiction to salt! But have been told to lay off!

Karen Up state NY, here are a couple shrimp recipes that I use a lot. The first one is a real family favorite. This dish is also a great company dish.

Shrimp with Orzo and Feta Cheese
8 oz Orzo
6 tbl olive oil
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
2 tbl plus 1/4 cp fresh chopped basil

1 to 1 1/2 lbs uncooked medium shrimp, peel and devein
2 to 3 garlic cloves chopped
14 1/2 oz can diced tomatoes with juice
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried crushed red pepper flakes

Preheat oven to 400. Brush deep 9x13 pan with oil. Cook orzo according to package directions, drain well and return to cooking pot. Add 2 tbl olive oil, 1/4 cup feta cheese, parmesan cheese and 2 tbl basil: stir to blend. Spread the mixture into the baking dish.

Heat 2 tbl olive oil in large skillet over medium high heat. Add the shrimp and sauté until slightly pink, about 2 min. (do not cook thru) Arrange the shrimp on top of the orzo. Add remaining 2 tbl oil to the skillet. Add garlic, sauté of med-high heat about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes with juice, cook 1 min, Stir in the wine, oregano, red pepper and 1/4 cup basil. Simmer about 2 min will thicken slightly, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper, spoon over the shrimp. Bake till heated thru about 10 min. Sprinkle the remaining feta cheese over and serve.
4 to 6 main course servings.

Spiced Baked Shrimp
1 med onion chopped
2 garlic cloves finely chopped
3 tbl extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp hot red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground allspice
28 oz can whole tomatoes in juice, drain, reserve the juice, chop tomatoes
pinch of sugar
1 1/4 lbs large peeled deveined shrimp
2/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tbl chopped dill

Preheat oven to 375
Cook onion and garlic in oil with 1/4 tsp salt in a 4 qt heavy saucepan over med heat until softened about 5 min. Stir in the spices and cook while stirring, 30 seconds. Add chopped tomatoes with juice and sugar, simmer uncovered, stir now and then, till slightly thickened, about 20 min. Remove from the heat. Season the shrimp with 1/8 tsp salt then stir into the tomato sauce. Transfer to a 2 qt casserole and top with the feta. Bake just until the shrimp is cooked thru 18-20 min. Serve sprinkled with dill. (I do not care for dill so I leave this out) Serve. Makes 4 servings. A must with this recipe is a good loaf of hot crusty bread for sopping up the juice!
Enjoy,Billie in Fl

Thanks to Judy for another kale recipe! Sounds interesting!
Athena in DE

Nancy in the 2/25 newsletter someone was wanting idea for cooking fish. You can take fish and stuff it with cornbread and fruits. I have during Lent less meat. We are adding on to our Church building and we are not having our Lenten suppers on Wednesday for now.

Example on Wednesday I will have soup supper such as pea soup, white chicken chili, bean soup with cornbread, black bean soup like Judy's Buffalo, and beef vegetable soup with grilled cheese sandwiches. Then on Friday I have no meat meal. I have fish baked in the oven, tuna fish casserole, Susie's Buttermilk Creamed Eggs over toast or biscuits, Eggplant casserole, and mac & cheese.

Everyone have a great day. Nancy and 4 legged associate take care, stay safe and warm.
Susie Indy

Hi Nancy, it's amazing how many thousands of us look forward to receiving your great newsletter. I have at least 20 people around the UK who read, but maybe this will shame them into participating.

Dee in W Lafayette (oh that is such a lovely place name), your grandson's name Kellen is Gaelic (pronounced Gallic) and has Scottish/Irish connections. Also means "slender". I can see this being the boy's name of 2009 or maybe 10. It is a great name.

Chris, as you know we here in Scotland don't have the wonderful choices of mixes, etc. Unfortunately Jalapenos are another thing we can't buy in their fresh state. I grow them in the greenhouse during the (hot) ha ha, months . We have to depend on tins or jars. They are a bit too hot for my liking, but boys will be boys, it's got to be HOT.

Billie in Fl thanks for the Kale recipe - I have in the past only used it in soups.

There has been lots of "chats" recently on our crazy cats - why do cats want to drink out of the faucets in the bathroom sink??? If you are a pet person, particularly a cat person, you may enjoy reading some of the comments on:

Lynn in Tulsa – you asked would I share sourdough bread starter recipes, I actually have two going right now, one is the traditional flour and water, the other is the potato flake starter. Years ago I used to make bread from the potato flake starter every week, but am just now getting back into it. There are volumes written regarding sourdough bread and so many techniques. Here is one good website I found regarding the starter:
http://www.squidoo.com/sourdoughstarter.

Here’s an excellent video showing how to make the actual bread: http://video.about.com/breadbaking/Sourdough-Bread.htm
only I make mine in 2 loaf pans. For the potato flake starter, and bread:
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Sourdough-Starter-I/Detail.aspx
and: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Sourdough-Bread-I/Detail.aspx

It’s almost like keeping a “pet”, and the bread is so delicious! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Patricia in KY

Happy birthday Marissa! Glad you got good memories from my Depression Spaghetti! Just wanted to add that I agree so much on passing those recipes along. I have so many from my Mother and I have made sure over the years that mine have those and my own. I have made a couple books for them already and as new favorites come up, in they go!

Chris in NM, your Stuffed Jalapenos SW Style: How much of the garlic powder do you use? I would like to try these, nice and simple. And of course being a bacon worshiper I have to try both ways! I rarely allow myself to eat real bacon, but now and then it is a must!
Billie in Fl

Sandy in Iowa...yes, send the recipe for Banana Bread that uses sliced bananas. Intrigues me!
Ann in middle GA

Hi Nancy,
I am hoping you can help me find Donut recipes made from Cake Mixes.
Austin

Nancy and all Nancylanders: My aunt is looking for a recipe for baked whole onions. I'm sure there are many members of this site who have such recipes. Please post them so I may pass them along to her. She is having a problem getting the newsletter so she ask me to post this ISO request for her.
Mr. Myron Drinkwater - Lake Forest, CA

Hi there everyone! Hope you are having a great week!

Oops! I omitted an ingredient in my Stuffed Jalapenos SW Style in the 2/25/09 newsletter! Sorry folks! To the cream cheese and garlic powder mixture, add ½ to 1 c. crushed pecans. Then stuff the jalapenos. This is mostly what makes the recipe different from others. Chris in NM

Dee in W Lafayette, Sylvia <Scotland> posted the information regarding Kellen in the 2/21/09 newsletter.

Fran, Upstate New York, here, http://whatscookin.proboards4.com/index.cgi?board=Fish
10 pages filled with great T & T fish recipes for you and everyone else! This is one of our favorites!

I'm sharing this recipe because it was so very good. Come take a look at my blog to see what I put it on. It was so good.

Sauerkraut Relish
1 1/2 to 2 cups Sauerkraut, (from package or jar, not canned), drained really well (I used whole foods brand)
4-5 TB ketchup
3 TB dark brown sugar
Couple dashes of hot sauce (about 5 to 7)
1 TB Worcestershire sauce
A couple pinches of celery seeds
1 package (16 ounces) kielbasa, grilled or fried

Cooked French fries
Warmed crusty rolls or hearty sandwich rolls.

In a medium saucepan combine the drained sauerkraut, ketchup, hot sauce, dark brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and celery seeds. Heat through.

The sauce should thicken up, if not just let it reduce for a while on low heat. Meanwhile, grilled or fry your kielbasa.

To assemble, place cooked kielbasa on roll, then a layer of the sauerkraut relish, then the French fries.

I've also used this relish on: hummus roll ups, veggie burger, hot dogs. I will try this with falafel.

Nancy in Wednesday newsletter 2-25-2009, Sally in PA wanted to find a Banana pudding with sour cream. It was in the 2-16-2008 newsletter. I use this without the condensed milk and use sugar free pudding mix for my diabetic husband. It is very good
You could use a large can of crushed pineapple (drained) instead of bananas.

Debbie, AR
In the 2/24/09 newsletter wanted recipes that would help her use up her nectarines. I don’t have a jelly recipe, but agree that you could substitute the nectarines in a peach jelly recipe. You could also freeze some of the nectarines for future use in either of these recipes. You can also make great smoothies with your nectarines, make a nectarine salsa and use them in any fruit salad.
Robbie IN

Nectarine Pie
2/3 cup white sugar
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
5 – 6 large nectarines (You need enough to fill the pie pan.)
1 (9 inch) unbaked pie shell

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Place a large pot of water over high heat, and bring to a boil. Place the nectarines in boiling water for 30 to 45 seconds. Immediately place nectarines under cold running water and remove skins and membrane. If you can easily peel the nectarines, you can skip this step. Cut nectarines in half and remove seeds. Place nectarines in the pie shell.

Combine sugar, flour, and cinnamon, heavy cream and almond extract.

Pour the cream mixture around the nectarines.

Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 35 to 40 minutes. Good served warm or cold.

Hi Nancy,
Found this recipe and thought some of our bread/loaf makers might like to give it a try:

Barabrith is an old Welsh family recipe; there are numerous ways of making this loaf, tea loaf, bread, this is one is easy to follow and the end product is simply delicious. Please measure using a normal-size coffee mug.

Bara Brith (Welsh Tea Bread) No. I
Preheat the oven to 150°C/ 300°F

2 mugs dried mixed fruit (such as currants, sultanas, candied peel, etc.)
1 mug soft brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
1 mug warm black tea
1 egg
2 mugs self-raising flour

Grease and line a loaf tin.
Measure out the mixed fruit, cinnamon and soft brown sugar and place in a bowl, add the mug of warm black tea, mix together. Cover the bowl and allow to stand overnight.

Beat the egg and stir into the mixture. Mix in the flour gradually, making sure it is well mixed.

Place the mixture into the lined loaf tin, place in the centre of the pre-heated oven and cook for approximately one and a half hours. To check to see if it is finished, use a skewer and ensure that it comes out clean from the centre of the loaf.

When cooked, remove the loaf from the tin and allow to cool.
Barabrith is best served sliced, spread with butter or margarine.

Hi Nancy.This is for Nancy B. looking for a place to trade books. I have been using Paperbackswap.com for years, and love it. It works like this: After setting up an account, you post books that you want to trade on line. Someone requests a book that you have, and you acknowledge that you can ship it to them, and print the wrapper with the persons address on it right from your own printer. You wrap and tape that to your book, and it usually costs $2.23 to ship it. I end up putting 6 stamps on each book (I know, I need to get some smaller denomination stamps!) When that person receives the book, they let the site know, earning you 1 credit. You can also buy credits if you have not earned any from sending out any of your books yet. You can then request a book from someone else, who does the same. I have never had a problem from anyone! I highly recommend this site! I have checked out a few others, but IMO, this site is the most user friendly, and easy to navigate.
Lindsey in the U.P.

Nancy B - regarding trading used books, one site that does this is bookmooch.com. I have not personally done this because I love all my books so much I keep them! Or if it’s something I absolutely don’t want, I usually “freecycle” it. (www.freecycle.com).
Patricia in KY

To Pam in Ohio
I tried you pancakes from Muffin Mix. My Grand daughter loved them! I used Mayberry's Finest brand. Peach was the flavor.
I did use an egg and the whole package. Added some almond extract. They are sooo good.
Thank you for sharing.
Good health to all, Barbara in Wentzville, MO

Hi Nancy, Just wondering, is Sylvia of Scotland one of your advertisers? I see her a lot, and her submissions are great. I was just wondering. Hope she stays with us forever tho. I was just wondering, because her letters seem like she might be a part of your staff. She's awesome!!!! You go, Sylvia!!!
Cheryl, North Olmsted, Oh

Comment
The only staff I have is Ditto, my cat.
Sylvia has been very generous in volunteering her time and recipes both here and on our recipe message board.

Chris NM is has been very generous with both her time and recipes as well. Chris spends many long hours keeping the message board going. We are very fortunate to have both of them and all our other helpers and contributors for the newsletter and message board. There would not be a message board or recipe exchange newsletter for the past 12 years without our family of members.

On 2-25-09, Sandy in Iowa said she would share her recipe for Banana bread that used slices of banana instead of mashing the banana. I would love to have this recipe.
Thank you
Betty G. in Georgia

Nancy: Please don't overdo and make yourself sick. Take frequent rest periods for sure! Take a nap with Ditto. My cats love to nap with me. All I have to do is say "do you want to go to bed?", and my black & white "Muffin" runs like a deer and can't get to the bed fast enough. He really is a riot. "Buffy", my Siamese, comes along at her own pace once we get in there to take a nap. They both have their places, where they lay next to me and are asleep in no time.

I want to thank Chris in NM for her Parisian Onion Soup recipe, as it was delicious. Also, Athena in DE for her recipe for Quiche Bretagne. Both were given in response to my request for French recipes for our church's 150th anniversary French Dinner. I couldn't decide between them, so I made both and they were a big hit. I also made a French Silk Brownie Trifle. There was nothing left to take home from any of the dishes I made, and everyone really liked them.

I hope that Athena might put the other French recipes she mentioned on the list too. They all sounded so good. Thanks again. The meal was a wonderful success, with friends and strangers enjoying the food, and fellowship.

Dee in W. Lafayette, Sylvia in Scotland said that Kellen is Gaelic and means "slender". It has Scottish/Irish connections. I'm glad to hear your grandson is named Kellen also. I had never heard the name before. Our Kellen was born February 17th and he is very tiny, and of course, adorable. LOL

Sylvia, thanks for putting in the link for bread machine recipes. There are so many! I forget to check the message boards so it's good to have a reminder. I like my Regal, which I got at a yard sale, and plan to use it a lot. I like to bake bread in the oven too. I started making yeast rolls in high school and I especially enjoy baking breads and cakes.
Doris, S. Indiana

Nancy,I have really been enjoying the great bread recipes from your site, but thought that I would add a little trick that I learned from a chef in Alaska. She said she would share her secret with me for the best bread I have had in a long time since I live in Illinois and probably wouldn't spoil it for her where she works. She told me that she uses Pillsbury Hot Roll Mix in a box. I have to tell you... this trick has saved many a meal for our family. I just don't always have time to make from scratch bread. I use the box mix for crescent rolls. I have never just made it into a loaf, so I can't vouch for that. So for those of you that want homemade taste without spending so much time in the kitchen..I really suggest that you try it.

Hi Nancy and fluffy.
Would it be O K to use the china crock pot from a slow cooker to bake the no knead bread in ? Would it take the heat ?

Hello Nancy & everyone,
Nancy, I hope you are feeling better. I want to thank you so much for taking the time to have this newsletter. I enjoy reading it every day.

Hello, I wanted to let "Nancy B." know about a wonderful book swapping website I recently found. The website is paperbackswap.com. It's a free service where you list the paperback books you want to swap and then you receive "credit" each time someone requests your book. You then send the requested book to the person and you are allowed to choose a book you would like to read. I think this is such a useful website! Have fun reading!
Dawn C.

This is for Nancy B. who wanted to know about places to swap her books. I belong to two sites that you can swap book along with DVD’s, CD’s and games. They are www.swaptree.com and www.switchplanet.com .

I hope this will help. I have heard of others but at the moment can’t think of them.

Hi Nancy and group. I am not sure if you allow this or not. But if you do I would like the group to pray. My husband has been told he is very anemia. He had 6 hour's of Iron Infusions. They did not help. O top of this the anemia is associated with his chronic Kidney failure. The medicine they want to put him on is very expensive. Just pray that some how we can get this for him. We have just found this all out with in the past 2 months on top of that ,his heart value are leaking causing an enlarged heart Thank you
