Good morning! Carlo is in the kitchen today, what a treat!
I sent Tooters this recipe the other day after seeing her recipe for a Chicken Casserole on her profile page. Lucky for me all I had to do was go to my mailbox and copy then paste it here. This is a quick, easy (especially if you use a store bought rotisserie chicken) and delicious recipe.
Melt in Your Mouth Chicken Pot Pie
Cooking time: 1 hour
Oven temp: 350 degrees
3-4 cups cubed, cooked chicken
1 (10 1/2 ounce) cream of chicken soup
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth
Small package of frozen peas and carrots (thawed and cooked
a little) or a can of Veg-All drained
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup butter, melted
Place chicken in lightly greased 12 X 9 inch baking dish. Blend soup with broth then pour over chicken.
Arrange vegetables over chicken and broth.
Combine flour, buttermilk, and butter mixture in seperate bowl.
Pour over chicken and vegetables, covering all.
Bake uncovered at 350 for 1 hour or until crust is golden brown.
Serve with a tossed green salad.

Sigh. Wish we got a vacatiion! But frankly at the rate Billie pays us, I can't afford one.Sheesh, that's for sure. Lars and I have been begging her for a newer, more upgraded H2 and that has fallen on deaf ears!

I have a little web site where I highlight a recipe from our books- just a nice place to share family recipes like the one for "Dandelion Wine" by my kids' great grand mother and "Lye soap" from my grandfather:
Lye Soap
6 pounds lard melted
1 can lye
2 1/2 pints hot water
Dissolve the lye in hot water.
Let cool.
Pour lye in slow and easy stream into melted lard. Stir till cool.
Pour in boxes that have been dipped in cold water. Cut into squares.
Dandelion Wine
"Pour one gallon of boiling water on one quart of dandelion blossoms.
Pick when the sun shines on them.
Let this stand over night and the next morning,
strain, and put two sliced oranges and four sliced lemons (with the rind on) but take out the seeds.
Add 1/2 cake of yeast ground in a fine powder and four pounds of white sugar.
Combine contents in a jar and let it stand eight days and then strain through a cloth and then let stand five weeks."
This recipe is from my children's great grand mother.
My brother in law recently made this wine.
It is very good- but has a surprising kick!

Wow - the article really puts MREs into perspective. You just have to love those men and women for putting up with all that they do for our sake.
Thank you for the link. I think we all need to be more familiar with what our Military goes through to protect our freedoms.

Hi dansy...what a great thread today. And what a coop to get carlo to "guest host"
carlo...I absolutely LOVE the Clinton Legacy Cookbook. I collect and read cookbooks as a hobby (well not nearly as much since I discovered FR!) and the legacy is one of my favorites.
Would love some Atkins recipes...

Here's an unbelievable quick and easy recipe for Beef Brisket great for parties, potlucks or to have in the freezer for unexpected company. My grandmother and mother have served this since I was a kid and people are always asking for the recipe. Noone can believe it's so simple.
Party Beef Brisket
1 5lb beef brisket Look for nice thick pieces. (I usually ask the butcher for a whole one or get several smaller ones.)
1 pkg Lipton dry onion soup
Place brisket (DO NOT TRIM) in a baking dish, fat side up)
Cover with onion soup mix (do not add water)
Seal tightly with aluminum foil
Bake at 300 degree oven for 4 hours.
Remove and let cool. DO NOT BREAK SEAL. Store in fridge for 3 days (tightly sealed)
After three days, remove meat, trim off fat and cut in thin slices across the grain. Remove fat from juices and reheat in juices (or you can freeze in serving size packages at this point)
One presentation: arrange meat diagnally in baking dish in juices. Rewarm in oven or on stove. Serve on small party rolls dipped lightly in the juices accompanied with horseradish sauce. YUM!
P.S. I'm not sure if storing it sealed after baking for three days makes a difference but mom and grandma were threre ready to slap our hand if we dared peak as a kid. I had to break Mr. D. in the same way too LOL! So, atleast in our household, it's part of the mystic!

To: iceskater; nopardons
iceskater, don't pass out..LOLOL this isn't as hard as it looks.. I'll get you one a lot easier in a moment, but this baby is a keeper..
Tiramisu, Where are you?Don't get scared off because you have to begin 3 hours before serving or early in day.... nothing this good comes without a little sacrifice... Hahahahhaah
- 24 oz mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup Splenda (or equivalent of 3/4 cup sugar, sweetener of choice) (Nopardons turned me on to Splenda, and thank heavens she did)
- 1/2 cup prepared coffee
- 1 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3 tbs. unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 c. heavy or whipping cream
- 1/2 tsp unflavored gelatin
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbs. splenda
- 2 tsp boiling water
- Almond Loaf (see recipe below)
1) In large bowl, with wire whisk or fork, beat mascarpone, salt, sweetener, 3 T. coffee, 1 tsp. vanilla, 1/2 tsp almond extract, and two-thirds of cocoa. (Set aside remaining cocoa for top of dessert.)
2) In small bowl, with mixer at high speed, beat heavy or whipping cream until stiff peaks form. With rubber spatula or wire whisk, fold whipped cream into cheese mixture.
3) In small bowl combine remaining coffee, remaining 1/2 tsp. vanilla, remaining 1/2 tsp almond extract and 2 T. water.
4) Line 2 1/2 qt. glass or crystal bowl with one-fourth of almond loaf. Sprinkle with 1/4 of the coffee mixture from step 3.
5) Spoon 1/4 of cheese mixture over almond loaf. Continue layering with almond loaf, coffee mixture and cheese mixture. Top layer should be cheese mixture. Sprinkle remaining cocoa over the top.
6) Place gelatin in a small cup. Gently add 2 tsp hot water and stir until gelatin is melted. Add 2 tsp. of the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy cream and mix.
7) In small bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat remaining 1/2 cup cream and remaining 2 T. Splenda until stiff peaks form. Slowly add the gelatin mixture.
8) Spoon whipped-cream mixture into decorating bag with large star tube. Pipe large rosettes on top of dessert.
Refrigerate until chilled and to blend flavors, at least 2 hours.
Serves 16.
Almond loaf
- 1/2 cup ground almonds
- 3 tbs. flax meal
- 1/2 cup Splenda
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 4 eggs, separated
- 1 tsp. almond extract
1) Whip the egg whites till stiff but not dry and set aside.
2) Beat the yolks, the Splenda, the baking powder and the rest of the sweetener for 3-4 minutes on medium high speed. Beat in the nuts, flax meal and the almond extract on low. Then gently fold in the egg whites.
3) Grease a 10x13 casserole pan and then line it with parchment and grease again.
4) Spread the batter in the pan and bake at 350F for about 15 minutes or until a tester comes out clean.
5) Cool 15 minutes on a rack. Turn upside down on a cookie pan to remove from casserole pan, and peel the paper off the back.
Allow to cool, and then, using a very sharp knife slice it in half horizontally to make 2 layers

I woke up hungry, thinking right away what might be good for breakfast, so this morning's thread seems just perfect...except that I've been reading instead of eating so now I'm runnin' on empty...can I have some of those good mushrooms for breakfast?
Hmmm...actually...I know your busy, MIss Dansy, so I'll just burn a couple of panckes...that'll be plenty good...thank you...)
Carlo3b...you're the coolest...)))))
Good day to all our lovely Hostesses, and to all the Finest.

Thank you both. I'm having people over at the end of the month and quite a few are doing lo-carb diets. Guess what I'll be serving?!! The brisket and the tiramisu both sound wonderful.

Heavenly Low Carb CheesecakeHeavenly, because it's out of this world... promise..... really..... trust me on this.... ;)
- 5 packages (8 oz ea.) cream cheese (must be at room temperature)
- 5 large eggs (must also be at room temperature)
- 3/4 cup Splenda
- 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Preheat oven to 350.
1) Spray a spring-form pan (they are easy to find, and great for cookies, so get one if you don't have one yet..:o)) with a non-stick spray.
2) In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, cream, sweetener, and extract.
3) Add cream cheese in 2 oz chunks for easier beating, making sure to get all of the lumps out..
4) Pour into the pan and bake for 50 to 55 minutes. You must be careful to cook this all the way through.. test with toothpick. Chill completely, or leave in the fridge overnight, it is much better the next day anyway..
Guess what, only 9 carbohydrates per piece.
12 pieces per pie
Add whipped cream topping and/or any kind of berries..or nothing at all...yummmmm
