The tiny "cupcake" liners are probably used for making candy, i.e., chocolate covered nuts. I have purchased these at candy-making supply stores.

Here is a Good & Easy Tried & True Recipe which was published in the Buffalo News many years ago.

Chicken (or Vegetable) Stroganoff

3 tablespoons butter
1 + 1/2 cups fresh mushrooms
1 medium onion - diced
2 10 oz. cans of Cream of Mushroom Soup
2 cans of water
1 10 oz. package Egg Noodles
1 8 oz. container of Sour Cream
(2 10 oz. cans of white chicken) or vegetables ....this is optional
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon parsley flakes
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Heat butter in a large skillet and saute mushrooms and onions for 4 to 5 minutes, until tender. Add soup and water and bring to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook until done (about 8 minutes). Stir in sour cream and seasonings and mix well. Stir in chicken (or vegetables). Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
(Serves 4)

I am looking for a TNT peanut butter cookie recipe, that is soft, and almost like a "melt in your mouth" sugar cookie, but also has peanut butter in it. Anyone have one---? It is very light and flaky, not like the usual heavy, crunchy, peanut butter cookies.
Thanks, Sue

Chris in NM, regarding the Amish Chicken Noodle Soup recipe you posted on 2/27, you listed 2 qts. water, per the recipe, but you said you used only 1/2 c. for a 3 lb. chicken. Is this correct?

1/2 c. doesn't seem like enough liquid to make a broth.

Nancy and all the "family" here,
My Landlady has developed an "allergy" to gluten (has a deficiency of Vit D, too). Does anyone have a site for "gluten free" items and recipes?? I know thing's have been "shared" here, but now I'm at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated !!!

BTW, my cat, Chewie say's "meow" to your "furry kids", Nancy ....LOL..... :)

To the recipient of the muffin liners that turned out to be less than what they expected. ..How disappointing! If they are the mini muffin liners, just reserve using them for holiday or special events that would warrant your serving smaller size muffins. Breakfast mini muffins could come in handy for an unexpected visitor to have with coffee or tea. Corn muffins could be made and frozen to use whenever you're serving a small meal or having a variety of breads. Perhaps, nuts or pieces of candy could fit nicely into the liners. Cheesecakes "bites" might be an option.

If you find they're absolutely too small to be useful with food items, then find a craft use. Elementary teachers could surely find a use for them in crafts. With spring just around the corner, perhaps, they might fit into the making of spring flowers, borders for bulletin boards, etc. Other places such as churches, vacation Bible school in the summer, nursing home activities, day care activities may find them to be a real treat to have for craft projects. Do a SEARCH on the web for uses of these tiny liners if you think they're too small of any of the ideas mentioned.
Good luck! Marvis Garner

Dear Nancy, I should have said a 12 cup bundt pan for my chocolate pound cake recipe, as it does make a large cake.

For CAMILLE, Commack, L.I.,NY: It is always disappointing when we order something and anxiously await for it to get to us and when it does arrive, it is not what we thought we were getting. It has happened to me many times.

Now, what can you use your small cup liners for. Try making peanut butter cups. They should be the perfect size. This is a suggestion, if the company does not take them back. Good luck on returning them (postage will probably cost you as much as you paid for them).

Re: Lisa's Hawaiian Pork Roast. Having been to Hawaii many times and going to many Luau's where I ate Kalua luau pig, I can almost taste Lisa's Hawaiian Pork Roast as being an indoor clone of the one made in Hawaii outside in the pits. I make one in my oven that taste identical to it and is so delicious. Plan to make Lisa's recipe as soon as one of my local stores has a sale on Boston Butt.

For mj-indy: God speed in your recovery. You are in my prayers.

For Doris W, Indiana. Your son and you will be in my prayers for a safe tour of duty. Please, when you write or talk to him, will you tell him "Thank You for serving Our Country!" For him I will pray for a safe return back home after his service there.

Having been a wife to a serviceman who served in Viet Nam and a Son who was in the Navy, I can relate to your concerns as a Mother.

This is for Doris SW IN; I will definitely keep your son and the members of his company in my thoughts and prayers, as they are deployed to Afghanistan. We are a military family. My husband did 20 years in the navy and our youngest son did tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and is now full-time National Guard. We know the range of emotions that you and your family are experiencing at this challenging time. If this is his first deployment and you need suggestions on items to include in the treat boxes that you send him, just let us know. I mail a box monthly to my adopted soldier and know that other readers do the same for their friends and family that are serving our country.

Pizza Dough Seasoning

With all the talk about pizza dough in our group lately, I'm passing along the dough seasoning list I found in a friend's recipe book 20 years ago. These herbs/seasonings added to the flour when making the dough add pleasing flavor to the finished product.
Leah

For every three cups of flour in your favorite recipe add:
1 tsp dry basil
1 tsp marjoram
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder

For Camille, Commack, L.I.,Ny -- I've been using "SAF-instant" yeast in the one-pound package for many years with excellent results. I've made all our bread products including breads, rolls, English muffins pizza and dessert breads since 1972. Started out using a bread pail that mixed many loaves at a time when there were five of us (the kind where you turn the handle on top) and now that there are only two of us and I have arthritis in both hands I happily use a Cuisinart.
