Strawberry Pretzel Squares

Posted by Chef mariajane  

This is a great dessert! I got the recipe from my wonderful MIL several years ago, and everyone loves it. The pretzel crust gives a nice nut-like, crunchy, salty counter-point to the sweet and creamy filling and strawberry top. It's also a very... — Panakanic Aug 23, 2009

Vienna Cream Frosting (Better Than Cream!)

(6 people found this helpful) Posted by **Jubes**  

Add 1/8 to 1/4 tsp. of almond extract, and this goes from wonderful to fabulous! This is the buttercream icing I use for cake decorating, and I always get raves for it! — Panakanic Jan 20, 2009

Rhubarb Upside Down Cake

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by MizzNezz  

This is a great recipe, that I had mis-laid, but plan on making again as soon as I get some rhubarb and marshmallows! It is definitely NOT for the diabetic in the family, but I have made it using Splenda and sugar-free jello, with absolutely no... — Panakanic Jul 16, 2008

Tujague's Pecan Pie

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by lkadlec  

Mmmmmmmmmm. This was a hit at today's Thanksgiving dinner! I was so full after the feast, I hardly had room for the pie, but the flavor of the brandy with the pecans was wonderful! I intend to enjoy another slice later this evening when I can... — Panakanic Nov 22, 2007

Cold-Brewed Coffee

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by KLHquilts  

Cold brewed coffee is wonderful! By cold brewing, about 1/3 of the caffeine is eliminated, and 2/3 of the acids. It makes preparing a cup off coffee (hot or cold) as simple as instant, with fresh brewed flavor. I have been cold-brewing for a long... — Panakanic Jul 12, 2007

Vermicelli Salad With Red Peppers and Zucchini

Posted by Barb in WNY  

I made this yesterday morning, for last night's dinner. We all enjoyed it! It is one of those recipes that you can tweak to fit your tastes and pantry...I added chopped red onion with the veggies, and used red and yellow peppers. Also added... — Panakanic Jul 3, 2007

Pear and Cheese Salad

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by Chef PotPie  

This could be an acquired taste, but I, too, grew up eating and loving this! The only thing I do differently, is to make a sauce with the mayo and a little of the pear juice. You can add a little sugar or sweetener to the sauce, if you think it... — Panakanic Jun 24, 2007

Hush Puppies

Posted by *hello*  

In reply to Melody, the story I've always heard is that, in the "Old Days" Momma would be making these wonderful little gems, and the dogs would gather by the kitchen door, barking and begging for the treats. So Momma would occasionally toss one... — Panakanic Dec 14, 2006

Persimmon Cookies

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by cookiedog  

This is my DH's favorite cookie, ever. His Grandmother has been baking them for years! She (and I) usually leaves out the raisins and adds chocolate chips. Yummy! We now have the third generation hooked on them! For those of you who have not... — Panakanic Nov 13, 2006

Kool Aid Tie Dyed T-Shirts

Posted by Anme  

Just wanted to comment, that Kool-Aid is a terrific dye, as anyone who has tried to get it out of light colored carpets or upholstry knows! My Mom used to hand spin our home-grown wool, and used Kool Aid to dye it! The Grape flavor made a... — Panakanic Nov 9, 2006

Fred’s Pretzel Salad

Posted by I am the Walrus!!!  

I got this recipe from my sweet MIL several years ago, and it is really good! It's almost a dessert, instead of a side dish! The pretzel crust is just crunchy enough, and has a nice nutty flavor. I recommend using butter, not margarine in the... — Panakanic Sep 13, 2006

Scalloped Oysters

Posted by KittyKitty  

This is identical to a recipe I use, except for the addition of hot sauce, which I will try next time I make it. It is a wonderful dish! I especially like to use small oyters, whenever I can afford them. If the oysters are really big, I cut... — Panakanic Jul 21, 2006

Fish Tacos and Cilantro Coleslaw, 20 Minutes Max

Posted by fluffernutter  

I've always been skeptical of how good a fish taco could be, but this is wonderful! I went heavy on the cumin and cilantro just because. The fillets I used weren't the best, even so, these were delicous! Can't wait to try them with fresh,... — Panakanic Feb 22, 2006

Commissary Blackberry Cobbler

This is great with any fruit...I usually melt the butter first, and drizzle it over the cake mix, but this way sounds like less clean up! — Panakanic Sep 20, 2005

French Fry Sauce (Utah-style) or Sauce for French Fries

Posted by Andy Wold  

I have made "Secret Sauce" as my family calls it, for years. I like to add a small amount (1/2 to 1 tsp) of yellow mustard, and sometimes even a small amount of horseradish. Oh, yeah...I use Mayo vs. Miracle Whip in this one, too! — Panakanic Aug 22, 2005

Cherry Tomato Salad

(8 people found this helpful) Posted by GaylaJ  

My Mom and I have made a variation of this for years, using any good tomato, and chopping it coarsely. Also add a chunky-chopped cucumber to it for an even more summery flavor! — Panakanic Jun 26, 2005

Russian Friendship Tea Mix

(5 people found this helpful) Posted by HeatherFeather  

My mom first got this recipe from a friend, back in the '60's (with slight variations due to the products available at that time). We have been making it ever since. It is a great, warming, comfort-food sort of beverage. One big tip that I... — Panakanic Aug 27, 2004

Deep Dish Apple Pie With Its Own Crust

(17 people found this helpful) Posted by Marie  

I would like to update my review, with regards to a substitution I made. When doubling or tripling the recipe, I used 1/4 cup of mayonnaise per egg, to replace up to half of the eggs. The crust came out much more flaky and piecrust-y than using... — Panakanic Aug 1, 2004

Homemade Gel Pack

Toffee Cookie Bars

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by mandabears  

These are really good! They are very similar to the traditional English Toffee candy that I have been making for years, but don't require a candy thermometer. I have made them twice in the last week, the first time using semi-sweet chocolate... — Panakanic Feb 11, 2004
