Thanks Klaas, I lost my cookbook collection, and believe me, I had a cabinet full. Any good recipes shared will be appreciated.

does anyone have: one made with chicken breasts, soup, swiss cheese and Pepperage Farm stuffing mix? It was easy and yummy.

A good coleslaw?

Soups, I love soups.

A chicken salad made with curry?

Line 13x9 pan with chicken. Mix soup and water. Pour over chicken. Cover with cheese. Pour stuffing on top. Melt margarine and pour over stuffing. Bake uncovered for 1 ½ hours at 300 degrees

Shell, I make an easy cole slaw that's really good. I just buy the cole slaw in a bag, and a jar of Marzetti's cole slaw dressing. I add peeled and sliced cucumbers, and halved grape tomatoes. You'll have to proportion the slaw to the dressing depending on how much you're making. Sometimes I add extra carrots, depending on how the bag mix looks. Anyway, add salt to taste, and maybe a little sugar. It's a good summer side when you can get fresh tomatoes and cucumbers!

There's a cole slaw with granny smith apples I use more in the winter that's really good with Pork dishes. I'll look for the recipe...........

Shell, here is a curry dip/dressing recipe I use. It is great with fresh veggies or can use on salad. Bet it would be great in a chicken salad.

2 c. mayonnaise
1 1/2 tsp. curry powder
3 tbsp. ketchup
3 tbsp. honey
3 tbsp. grated onion
1 1/4 tsp. lemon juice
7 to 9 drops tabasco (optional)

~ Coleslaw Recipe ~

1/2 head of cabbage shredded (green or purple)
1/2 pepper shredded (red, yellow, or green)
1/2 onion shredded (purple or sweet)

Gently mix together in a large bowl.

Make a dressing of the following -

1/3 cup vinegar (apple cider, wine, rice, or other)
1/3 cup oil (olive, soybean, corn, or other)
1/3 cup water
dash of salt & pepper (to taste)

Season with one of the following or your favorite combination of fresh herbs

1 tablespoon of celery seed

1 teaspoon of oregano and basil and one clove of garlice minced or crushed

1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, and one clove of garlice minced or crushed

This is a flexible recipe.  If you don't like peppers or onions don't add, if you like hot peppers, feel free to substitute a reasonable amount.  If you like more sour, add a little more vinegar and cut back on the water.

I make it most often with olive oil, apple cider vinegar, & celery seed.  Before serving I sprinkle with Sunflower seeds.  I also make it without the salt.  Salt may be added at the table.

Tortilla Soup
 
SERVES: 4
It's the tortillas that give it a slight thickness and a special flavor.

ingredients:

6 tablespoons cooking oil
8 6-inch corn tortillas, halved and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch strips
1 onion, chopped
4 large cloves garlic, smashed
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 1/2 quarts canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock
3 cups canned crushed tomatoes in thick puree (one 28-ounce can)
2 bay leaves
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup lightly-packed cilantro *(a must)leaves plus 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro (optional)
1 3/4 pounds boneless, skinless cooked chicken breasts, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 avocado, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/4 pound cheddar, grated
Lime wedges, for serving *(I don't always use the lime)

directions:

1. In a large heavy pot, heat the oil over moderately high heat. Add half the tortilla strips and cook, stirring, until pale golden, about 1 minute. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining tortilla strips.
2. Reduce the heat to moderately low. Add the onion, garlic, and spices; cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Add the broth, tomatoes, bay leaves, salt, cilantro leaves, if using, and one-third of the tortilla strips. Bring to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, for 30 minutes; remove the bay leaves.
3. In a blender, puree the soup in batches (if you put too much in the blender it ends up all over, and you have a big mess) I know, I did it  ; pour it back into the pot. Add the chicken, bring the soup back to a simmer, and simmer until just cooked through, about 1 minute. Stir in the avocado. *(I do not stir avo in. I put the avocado chunks on the top when serving)
4. To serve, put the remaining tortilla strips in bowls, top with the cheese, and pour in the soup. *(I put in the strips in a bowl, pour in soup and top with grated cheese/avo chunks, sprinkle with the chopped cilantro , if using, and serve with the lime wedges.

I'm all into EASY and GOOD I recently got this recipe from a co-worker when she brought it to the office. It's delicious and I can't believe how easy it is! It tastes like a butterscotch cake, and develops the nicest "outer baked glaze-like texture" when it bakes. Really moist, too! Starts with a mix, but tastes "made from scratch!"

Mamaw Cook Cake
 
1 Box Yellow “Moist Deluxe” Duncan Hines Cake Mix
Butterscotch Morsels (use ½ pkg. only)
2 Tblsp. Mayonnaise
½ C water
3 eggs
¼ C Cooking Oil
 
Mix all ingrediants. Pour into greased Bundt Pan. Bake @ 350* for 30-35 minutes

My favorite dessrt of all time!!

Banana split dessert

3 sticks margarine( room temp)
2 c. graham cracker crumbs
1 box(2 c.) powdered sugar
2 eggs (or equivalent egg substitute)
3 bananas(sliced)
1 med. can crushed pineapple(drained)
1 lg. cool whip( or any whipped topping)
1/2 c. chopped maraschino cherries
1/2 c. chopped pecans(optional)

Melt 1 stick margarine & mix with graham cracker crumbs. Spread in bottom of 9x13 pan.
Refrigerate. Beat together( no less than 15 minutes!) 2 sticks of margarine, the powdered sugar and eggs(or egg substitute). Spread on top of crumbs. Place sliced bananas on top of cream layer. Next, the pineapple. Top with cool whip. Sprinkle with the cherries and pecans. Refrigerate at least 3 hours. Serves about 20 (less in my family!)

Important: Beating the marg.,sugar, & egg mixture for 15 mins. is necessary because the texture changes into a whipped delight! So no cheating on the time!

I also have not tried the egg subsitute, but I know people who have. I prefer the real thing.

I've made this candy for Christmas for 30 years, & my mother did before me!

Martha Washington Balls

2 boxes powdered sugar
1 can condensed milk
1 stick margarine
2 tsp. vanilla
3 c. chopped pecans
1 box Baker's semi-sweet choc. squares
1 stick paraffin wax (usually found by the choc. in stores)


In large bowl, mix together first 4 ingredients( use your hands) Work in the pecans. Roll mixture into balls & refrigerate. Melt the chocolate squares & paraffin together in double boiler or use a bowl over boiling water. Dip balls into melted chocolate and place on lightly greased pan. Makes 5 lbs. of candy.

This recipe makes alot of candy. You will need more than one pan for the balls. Although this makes 5 lbs, I always end up making it twice. I give alot of it away to friends & family!!

Some people substitute choc. chips for the choc.squares. It DOES NOT TASTE THE SAME!
It's not nearly as good so, no shortcuts. The extra effort is worth it!!
