There is no POSSIBLE way I can compete with our katie, but here is a recipe I copped from rsr in the hobbies forum!
Orange Slice Cake (the anti-fruitcake).
1 pound margarine
2½ cups sugar
4 eggs
2 cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon soda
½ teaspoon salt
2½ cups flour
Mix all above in order given. Dredge in 1 cup of flour. Fold the following into the above mixture:
1 pound orange slices, chopped
1 pound chopped dates
1 pound chopped pecans
1 pound cocoanut
Bake in three lined narrow loaf pans at 275 degrees for 1¼ to 1½ hours.
Ice while hot with:
2 (small) cans frozen orange juice (do not dilute)
4 cups powdered sugar
(The only difficult part of this is dicing the orange slices. If you can, find orange slice bits. Chopping the candy quickly creates a sticky situation; I've tried using flour, water on the knife, and nothing really works well.)
(As you can tell, this is a BIG recipe, and I like to bake lots of small loaves and freeze them for sharing or for future consumption.) -
Helen that sounds good. You are right about Katie, I think we should all load up and go to her house for dinner, I am sure she is a wonderful cook!
-
Walls, not sure about that. I do love to cook though, and I love to cook for people, I love to serve people good foods, and I experiment a lot, sometimes it's a keeper, and sometimes it's dud.
Thats funny Helen, the anti fruit cake lol,,, I love fruit cake, but only if it has all the nuts in it. I'm also the only one in my house who odes. I made a fruit cake last Dec. and it took me a month to eat it. -
Just to let everyone know, some may not know this, but these are not all my recipes, everyone contributed, I just went and found them and put them all together on one thread.
-
No no no, katie -- because, you see, if we mess up, then it's YOUR fault!!
:eek: :D -
I've decided I'm going to go to Kentucky and visit Katie for a few days!
Just Kidding Katie, but you are the recipe queen for sure!
Here is my easy baked chicken
Put chicken, potatoes, onions, peppers, carrots, celery....and anything else you want, into a baking pan. (I use a glass cake pan.) Add a stick of oleo/butter, salt and pepper, or any other seasoning you like, cover with foil, and bake in the oven for about an hour at 350 degrees. I usually will take the foil off after it is done and leave it in the oven so it can sort of brown on the top.
Today, it is cold/icy/snowy/windy...that means I have to cook BEANS. My husband loves beans! His mother told me I needed to be cooking beans at least twice a week. LOL I don't think so! :D My husband has to have Miracle Whip, he adds it to his beans, with corn bread, and potatoes if I cook them also. Yes, it is very strange!
Do you like Reese's Cups? Then you may want to try making them at home.
Peanut Butter Balls
1-2 lb. jar of creamy peanut butter (room temp)
1-1 lb. oleo (room temp)
3 lbs. of confections sugar
2-12 oz. package of chocolate chips
1 1/2 slabs paraffin
Mix peanut butter, oleo and sugar. Roll into small balls. Chill. Melt chocolate chips and paraffin, then dip balls in your chocolate. Cool on wax paper. Makes about 250.
(I've thought about using almond bark, but I've never tried it.)
I try to make lots of Christmas candy to give as gifts and to take to relatives homes on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. -
SueLyn,
Here in Ohio we call them Buckeye Balls. They're very good! -

Chicken Noodle Casserole
Mix cooked egg noodles, a can of cream of chicken, cooked brocolli, some chicken and a handful of shredded cheddar cheese. Crumble Ritz crackers on top, melt butter over crackers, bake @ 350 for 30-45 minutes.
Scratch mac and cheese
Cook 2 cups macaroni till very tender and drain(I use differetn shaoes not just the traditional elbow)
In a sauce pan, melt 3 tablespoons margarine or butter
Add 2-3 tablespoons flour(need more butter? then add it)
Mix well.
Add slowly 2 cups milk(if I am low I mix half milk and half water, and throw in a little powdered milk), stir well, and heat slowly, heat til thickened.
Add 1-2 teaspoons dry powdered mustard, a little pepper, salt if you want it, I don't add it.
When thick and bubbly, add cheese, shredded, or even slices, how much depends on how cheesey you like it, I love lots of cheese. I usually use american cheese, but you can use more then one cheese, a little cheddar, colby is great, even a little mozzarella, parmesan, whatever you like adds interest. Stir till it melts.
Test it to make sure it the good anf thick, andcheesey. Add your cooked macaroni and mix well. -
Curried fruit
1 can peach slices
1 can pear halves
1 can pineapple chunks
1 jar maraschino cherries
Drain all of these and place in 9x13 dish(I have a really pretty pewter one that I can bake in that serves nicely,too. I place the pears up with the cherries in the middle....you can arrange it any way. Then I sprinkle with 1/2 cup of sugar,add 1 cup of grenadine syrup(it is red) and then sprinkle about 1-2 teaspoons of curry powder.
I bake it for 30 minutes covered and about 10 minutes uncovered on 350. -
Peanut Butter Fudge
5 cups sugar
1 stick of real butter
1 jar of peanut butter (18 oz or close to that)
1 can evap. milk
1 jar of marshmallow creme (7 oz or close to that)
1 tsp vanilla
melt butter in pan, add sugar and evap. milk to soft ball stage. Remove from heat and add peanut butter, marshmallow creme, and vanilla.
Pour into buttered 9 x 13 pan. When cool and set, cut into squares. -
Mexican Turkey
-Line a 9 X 13 pan with Dorito's (any kind)
-Put turkey pieces in a pan along with some chopped onion,a can of chopped green chilies (no need to drain),a can of cream of chicken soup and a can of cream of mushroom soup; heat through
-Pour over Dorito's
-Add another layer of Dorito's on top of soup/meat mixture
-Top with grated cheddar or Velveeta
-Bake at 350 for about an hour,or until cheese is golden brown and bubbly
Serve with a green salad and rolls. This is also great with chicken.
Curry Chicken salad
cut up left over chicken, add chopped celery, I like a little dry onions, I think raw onion over powers the delicate flavor of the chicken, add your mayonaise, sprinkle on a little garlic powder, pepper,a nd curry powder(how much of everything depends how much chicken you have, I use left over chicken and turkey for this one.) -
Truck Driver Chili
1 pound sage sausage (like Jimmy Dean or Bob Evans)
1/2 pound ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
dash of salt and pepper
Brown above ingredients in large dutch oven at medium heat, then when meat is thoroughly cooked and chopped and onion & green pepper are tender, remove from heat and drain off any grease.
Now add:
2 1-pound cans of dark red kidney beans
2 1-pound cans of whole tomatoes, breaking these into large chunks while in pan.
2 1-pound cans of tomato sauce
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Bring this gradually to a slow boil, but stir constantly to keep from scorching. Reduce to simmer and let simmer on very low heat for about 20 minutes, stirring frequently to keep from scorching.
This is a mild chili for those who can't eat spicy foods. To make spicier, add more chili powder, red sauce, or chili peppers to taste.
Delicious served with sprinkled grated Co-Jack cheese on top and with crackers or cornbread!
White Chili
2 chicken breasts
3c. chicken broth
2 cans northern beans(white)
1 med. onion chopped
2 cloves garlic chopped
2T. chopped cilantro

chili powder, crushed dried chilis, whatever you like to heat up your chili
Boil the chicken till tender. Remove chicken, leave about 3c. broth in the pan, and add the rest of the ingredients, and simmer till onions are tender, in the mean time cut up the chicken and add it to the chili about 15 minutes before you pronounce it done. -

Thanks, Katie!
I was just thinking that it might be a plan to include some 'tips' along with these recipes which act as timesavers. Here are a few I have learned along the way:
Cook more chicken or any other meat than you need. Cut the uneaten portion into little cubes and freeze by the cupful in zipper bags for use in quick casseroles later.
Don't discard chicken and meat bones. Boil them up first for broth. You can season the broth or not, as desired, but boil it down to at least one-third its original, then freeze it in ice cube trays. When frozen, pop the cubes into zipper bags and freeze. You have instant soup broth or material for gravy when the need arises.
Yes, zippered bag folk love me -- they all get raises when I hit that section of the store... :D
Buy a laundry marker to mark your zipper bags. And don't forget the date!
Throw frozen or fresh broccoli and some chicken bits into macaroni and cheese for an instant full and healthy meal.
Save leftover veggies to put on a chef's salad the next day.
Popcorn and orange slices make a super dessert (or snack).
Others? -
Great ideas Helen. I like to make extra and save for a casserole.
When I debone chicken breasts I boil the bones for dumplings.
When I make vegetables I save the left overs in a baggie and freeze them, I keep adding the same veggie to the baggie till I have enough to serve. Or throw in all the left over beans, no matter what type they are and when you get a good bit make bean soup.
Sometimes I fing roasting hen on sale real cheap, but my husband and I can't eat a whole one, so I throw it in the food processor and make chicken salad, which we love. I've also do the same with left over ham.
In the mid or late summer I start saving my leftover cornbread in a big baggie and come hoildays I have cornbread already made for the dressing. I also throw in leftover other breads, but I prefer more cornbread then other breads.
Can't think of more right now.
