Regards, Linda, Maryville, TN ***** I would love a recipe for the Red Lobster Caesar Dressing. ~ Susi ***** Does anyone know how to make a salad dressing like the house dressing at the famous Chicago restaurant, The Berghoff? A thin slightly sweet mixture. Thanks. ~ Jim McConville ***** I have a question. I have a wonderful sour dough bread recipe that I truly love, but the problem is: I make my dough recipe, and it rises fine, but when I make it into loaves, it will not rise a second time. Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong. I love the newsletter, thank you. ~ Lila ***** I had "Tangerine Beef" at a Chinese restaurant and loved it but I can't find a recipe anywhere. Is there anyone who can help me? Thanks! ~ Jill ***** I would like a recipe for old fashioned "raisin filled cookies." My grandmother made these and left me a recipe but without specific measurements. Thanks in advance! ~ Jill ***** I am looking for the recipe for a Mexican white cheese dip that I had at a Mexican restaurant here in Kansas City that is absolutely out of this world. I have tried to get the recipe from the Mexican restaurant, but they will not give it out. Again, it is a white cheese dip, it is smooth and creamy for dipping chips. I think there are a couple of different white cheeses in it (I think one is Monterey jack cheese). I tried melting Monterey jack cheese with cream or milk and butter, but the cheese turned out stringy and not creamy. Can anyone help me with this recipe it is the best. Thank you. Have a great day :) ~ Teresa Cretel ***** Does anyone have the recipe for the butternut squash soup served at Charlie Palmers Steakhouses? I might even be willing to give up my first born for that recipe! Thanks. ~ Linda Abbott ***** First of all I want to tell you how much I enjoy this site... so many wonderful recipes.... I am looking for a rhubarb cake recipe.. looked everywhere but haven't located one.. Thanks to anyone who can help.. ~ Donna ***** Hi! I am looking for a recipe for Caramel Fudge Candy. Many years ago we had a small home-made candy store in our town and she made this candy. I have not had any since and cannot find a recipe. Thanks for any help. ~ Betty
Shared Recipes, Crafts and Hints To Linda, TN: Dried Cherry Dressing Makes 12 cups The terms stuffing and dressing are often used interchangeably, but they do have different meanings: Stuffing is cooked inside the bird, dressing is on its own. This recipe is cooked as dressing – not as stuffing. 12 tablespoons unsalted butter * I use WAY MORE sage than this, typically 1 1/2 bottles of the McCormick's dried sage…So add to your own taste. ** Timesaver, add four bags of prepared croutons. 1. Melt butter in a large skillet. Add onions and celery, and cook over medium heat until onions are translucent, about 10 minutes. Add sage, stir to combine, and cook 3 to 4 minutes. Add 1/2 cup stock, and stir well. Cook for about 5 minutes, until liquid has reduced by half. 2. Transfer onion mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add all remaining ingredients, including the remaining stock; mix to combine. Note: I usually double this recipe – but if you choose to do so, ensure you have a gigantic mixing bowl – I had to prepare in my sink last year lined in aluminum foil. Also, leftovers freeze really well, when reheating frozen dressing, ensure you have some chicken stock on hand to keep it from getting dry. ***** Nice to see you back up and running Linda. Have been a subscriber for quite awhile but this is the first time responding to a recipe request. My wife acquired this recipe the day before your newsletter arrived, so we haven't had a chance to try it out yet. So G, if you make it, please let us know the outcome. Thanks. ~ Jim in Calgary Chocolate Chip Pudding Mix Cookies 1 cup butter Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix all ingredients in descending order. Place on cookie sheet and bake 8-10 minutes. ***** I got this recipe from the Kraft foods website.

The absolute BEST spices and pantry items come from Easy Homemade Egg Noodles 2 cups all-purpose flour
2. In a small bowl or large cup, whisk the eggs, oil, and water together. Form a depression in the flour mixture and add the egg mixture. Mix well. 3. Turn the dough out onto a floured countertop. Knead for eight to ten minutes or until the dough is smooth and elastic. 4. Divide the dough in half with a sharp knife. With a rolling pin, roll each dough piece until it is 1/16 to 1/8-inch thick. Cover the dough with a cloth and let rest for 20 minutes to relax the gluten. 5. Using a sharp knife, slice the dough on the counter into strips 3/8-inch wide. Drop the noodles one at time into the simmering soup. Cook until tender. How to Make a Pretzel This recipe will show you how to make a soft, chewy pretzel, the kind that you find in the little mall shops. Eat them plain or dip These pretzels are really quite easy to make. If you can make bread, you can make these pretzels. There’s an extra step: boiling the par-baked pretzels for two minutes. Because they don’t require a second rise, they are actually faster to make than most breads. These pretzels are an attractive golden color, not the dark bronze that we associate with pretzels from the store. Commercially made pretzels are dipped in lye. You can do so but lye is quite caustic and most of us would choose not to work with lye. You can buy food grade lye in some pharmacies. If you do choose to use lye, dip them in lye before boiling. (I’ve never used lye so I can’t give you a lot of help on that one.) The lye adds a little stronger flavor to the pretzel than pretzels made without lye. 2 tablespoons butter 1. Melt the butter in the microwave and set it aside to cool. With shortening or butter, grease a large bowl for the dough. 2. Put about 1/3 of the flour in the bowl of your stand type mixer equipped with a dough hook. Add the yeast and sugar. Add the milk at the indicated temperature. With the dough hook, run the machine for thirty seconds to mix the water with the flour to create a slurry. Add half of the remaining flour, the salt, and the melted butter. Begin mixing at medium speed adding enough of the remaining flour to form a soft dough. Mix at medium speed for about four minutes or until the gluten has formed and the dough is elastic. The dough should be soft but not too sticky. To reach the right consistency, you may need to dribble a little extra water (maybe one tablespoon) or flour as the dough is kneading. Place the dough in the prepared bowl and cover it to keep the dough from drying out while it rises. Let it rise until it doubles. 3. Heat the oven to 450 degrees F. 4. Roll the dough out into a rectangle about 12 x 12-inches. 5. Bake the pretzels for four minutes and then remove the sheet from the oven. While the pretzels are baking, start the water to boiling with the salt added. Turn the oven temperature down to 350 degrees F. 6. Boil the pretzels, several at a time, for two minutes, turning once. (We find it easier to set a one-minute timer, turn the pretzels over with tongs, and set the timer again.) Place the pretzels on paper towels to drain. After they are drained, place them back on the baking sheets. 7. Mix the egg yolk and a tablespoon of water together for an egg wash. With a pastry brush, brush the wash on the pretzels. Sprinkle them with coarse salt. 8. Immediately after sprinkling salt on the pretzels, bake them for 23 to 25 minutes or until golden. (If you let the salt sit in the egg wash before baking, the salt will start to dissolve.) Remove the baked pretzels to wire racks to cool. Recipes courtesy of Dennis Weaver of The Prepared Pantry.
Cook's Tip To make a smooth garlic paste without getting your food processor messy, chop a few cloves of peeled garlic on a cutting board. Sprinkle them with kosher salt, and use the flat side of your chef's knife to mash them into a paste. Keep mashing and adding salt, if necessary, until the paste is as smooth as you want it to be. Then add it to whatever you're making. Just remember you're adding salt now, so be careful not to over-salt the dish later.

Frontera Grill Mexican Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars Frontera Grill is the Mexican restaurant in Chicago owned by Rick Bayless. Source: Salsas That Cook by Rick Bayless with JeanMarie Brownson and Deann Groen Bayless Frontera Grill’s house specialty dessert for more than 13 years has been a gooey chocolate pecan pie in a tender, flaky crust. Here we’ve turned that same approach into bars, simplifying our original pie recipe and giving it a form that’s right for a buffet or party. Rather than pastry, we’ve made an easy crust of bread crumbs and crunchy Mexican chocolate, then filled it with an indulgent cargo of nuts and chocolate held together with a just a bit of not- too-sweet goo. You may find it easiest to line your pan with a carefully flattened piece of heavy-duty foil to help lift the bars out. Chilling them first will make them easier to cut. Makes 24 bars. 2 1/2 cups (about 10 ounces) pecan halves Heat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spread the pecans on a baking sheet. Bake until richly browned and toasty smelling, about 10 minutes. Let cool, then scoop into the food processor and coarsely chop by turning the machine on and off. Remove about 1 1/2 cups of the nuts and put in a large bowl to use in the filling. Add half of the Mexican chocolate to the nuts in the food processor and pulse the machine to mix them. Add bread slices; process until everything is fairly fine crumbs. Add 1/3 cup of the melted butter and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Process just to moisten everything. Lacking a food processor, you can chop each item separately with any other appliance or gadget you deem appropriate, then combine them in a bowl with the melted butter and salt.) Liberally butter a 13 x 9-inch baking pan, then evenly pat in the crumb crust mixture. Refrigerate while you make the filling. Add the remaining half of the Mexican chocolate, the chopped semisweet chocolate and the flour to the bowl with the reserved pecans. In the food processor (you don’t even need to clean it), mix the eggs and sugar until well combined. Add the corn syrup, pulse a couple of times, then add the remaining 2/3 cup of melted butter, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and all the vanilla. Process to combine thoroughly, then pour over the pecan filling mixture, stir well and scrape everything into your crust-lined pan. Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until the bars have pulled away slightly from the side of the pan. Let cool to room temperature before cutting into 2 inch-squares, dusting with powdered sugar and arranging on an attractive serving platter.
Have you ever made the homemade egg noodles with all whole wheat flour or part whole wheat flour? If so, how did they turn out? I am thinking of making these with the whole wheat flour. I’ve never made whole wheat noodles but my mother did many times. I think a mixture of bread flour and whole wheat flour would be best. I would start with 40% whole wheat. If I wanted to use all whole wheat flour, I would consider mixing the flour with the water and setting it in the refrigerator overnight. The long soak tends to temper the grassy, bitter taste that whole wheat flour sometimes has. Dennis Weaver at The Prepared Pantry.

Curly Corn Dogs Source: Bon Appetit, August 2005 Recipe by Jeremy Jackson - from A Competitive Cook's Wild Ride Serves 8. Jackson always eats corn dogs at the Iowa State Fair: They're deep-fried to order. Here, he adapts the recipe by quartering the hot dogs lengthwise, dipping them in batter, then skillet-frying them in a shallow pool of oil. The hot dogs curl as they cook and become wonderfully crunchy. 1 1/3 cups fine cornmeal Heat the oven to 300 degrees F. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, pepper and onion powder. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, then whisk in the milk and honey. Using a rubber spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the wet until just blended. Let the batter stand for 15 minutes. In a large, deep skillet, heat 1/2 inch of vegetable oil to 350 degrees F. Set a large rack over a large, rimmed baking sheet. Dip 4 hot dog strips into the batter to coat, then slip them into the hot oil. Fry over moderate heat until browned and crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer to the rack to drain; keep the corn dogs warm in the oven while you finish frying. Repeat, frying up to 6 strips at a time. Serve hot, with mustard. Sausage and Pepper Ravioli 1/2 (24 ounce) package frozen cheese-filled ravioli Combine all ingredients in crock pot. Cook on LOW for 5-6 hours. Serve sprinkled with Parmesan cheese.

Drop dough by teaspoon onto greased cookie sheets. Bake 10 to 12 minutes in a preheated 350 degree F oven. Makes about 10 dozen cookies! Sticky Thai Chicken The deceptively simple ingredients in this sauce give off a strong aroma as they cook, but the result is terrific. The thighs get a dark golden, sticky coating that is irresistible. They’re even good cold the next day. Adapted from The Instant Cook by Donna Hay. 2 teaspoons vegetable or peanut oil In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil, chili peppers and ginger, and cook 1 minute. Add the lime juice, fish sauce and brown sugar and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the chicken and cook for 8 minutes, then increase the heat to high, turn the chicken and cook another 5 minutes, or until it is golden, sticky and cooked through. Watch carefully and adjust the heat so the sauce doesn’t burn. Sprinkle with cilantro, if desired. Makes 4 servings.
