Taste of Home Magazine

What's with the Aug./Sept. 09 issue?

cherib — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 22:31:00 GMT

A full page on bake sale tips? A full page on how to have someone over for coffee? A full page on how to mix mayonnaise with other ingredients? A two-page spread for an outdoor kitchen with a super-short story? So many introductory type pages that are wasted space (pg. 12, 39, 48, 62)? Four pages on burgers with way to big graphics? Don't get me started on all the ads!

Please help me find this older issue!!!

Please help! My mother lost one of her back issues of Taste of Home. She doesn't remember the date, but it was an issue from the 1990's. She said it had many ground beef recipes such as Mexican Lasagna, Spaghetti Sauce, some type of Goulash recipe and possibly a Lemon Pound Cake and some soups? I know that isn't much to go on and I've done a exhaustive search. I'm hoping someone out there can help me identify this issue so I can see if I can locate it for her. Thanks so much in advance!

Cooking for a soup kitchen

missyguido — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 04:54:39 GMT

Hi Everyone, I cooked for a soup and pasta kitchen in the inner city. Each Tuesday night we have about 100 guests for dinner. I am looking for some recipes that serve 100 or one that I can easily increase to 100. And of course it does not have to be soup or pasta. As a matter of fact we never serve soup except at lunch on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Thanks so much for all your help!!

Walnut Pumpkin Cheesecake

rfred — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 00:01:39 GMT

I attempted to make this cheesecake which the recipe said I was to place inside a spring form pan and wrap a double layer of aluminum foil around. After I had the ingredients inside the pan with foil, I was to place it inside a large baking pan (I used a 9 X 13 cake pan) and place 1 inch of water in. I assumed this was to prevent the graham cracker crumb from burning. I was suppose to bake it for 1 hour and then place the walnut topping on top of and bake another 30 minutes. I baked it for 50 minutes after I placed the topping on it. I refrigerated this over night and the center was still like pudding when I cut into it 15 hours later. What did I do wrong? Any ideas would be appreciated as I would like to try this again for Thanksgiving! Thank you!f

Had homemade Corned-Beef Hash for supper... well, just used canned corned beef but it was so good w/cooked red potatoes and onions in it too, And Texas 'Poor Man's' Toast. It was all so good! Filling and a good comfort food...

Appetizers for a crowd????

leharmison — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 12:57:25 GMT

Hi, I am organizing a fundraiser for a young man from Bryant, IN, who was recently paralyzed from the chest down.The fundraiser will help pay for medical bills, etc. I am looking for 4-5 appetizer recipes that can be made for a big crowd (like 200 people) but that still taste delicious. If the recipes served 50, I could get different people to make batches of the recipe, providing consistency. Any ideas???? Also, if anyone in Indiana wants to help cook . . . :-)

I look forward to hearing from you!!!

Help please -- white chocolate chips

alexpio — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 20:48:54 GMT

Can anyone tell me how to melt white chocolate chips? I'm ready to give up. I've tried melting together the 12 oz of chips and 2 Tbsp shortening over a low heat (like the recipe says). They refuse to melt. I've tried the same thing in the microwave. Nothing. I've tried using higher heat and putting them in a double boiler. The stubborn things refuse to give up. All I get in each case is a semi-hard mass of glop. Anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Or should I just ignore recipes calling for melted white chips?

HELP! LOST MOM'S SPECIAL COFFEECAKE RECIPE

QFDPRES — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:30:04 GMT

MY MOTHER USED TO MAKE THIS AMAZING COFFEECAKE. SHE MADE A SWEET YEAST DOUGH, THEN FILLED ROUND CAKE PANS HALF FULL. LET IT RISE UNTIL DOUBLE, THEN PUNCHED DOWN CRATERS WITH HER FINGERTIPS. NOT CLEAR THROUGH. SPRINKLED CINNAMON AND SUGAR OVER THE DOUGH AND BAKED IT. SHE COOKED A SAUCE WITH CONDENSED MILK OR EVAPORATED MILK (I THINK), CORNSTARCH, ETC. UNTIL IT WAS SLIGHTLY THICKENED AND POURED IT OVER THE HOT COFFEECAKE, MAKING SURE TO FILL THE HOLES. THEN SHE BAKED IT AGAIN FOR 5 OR 10 MINUTES. IT BECAME THIS RICH CUSTARY SAUCE AND IT WAS JUST HEAVENLY! THIS IS THE WAY I REMEMBER IT, BUT I'VE LOST THE RECIPE! PLEASE! DOES ANYONE HAVE THIS RECIPE?

freezing veg casseroles (for Thanksgiving)

kittielvr — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 13:09:45 GMT

I have a broccoli casserole recipe w/eggs, crm mush soup, cheese and mayo. I checked w/mayo people and it can be frozen after it's cooked. Can I make this and freeze it? Would I partially cook then finish after thawing? If I cook completely (30 min) before freezing, how long would I reheat it so the broccoli doesn't get slimy??

Same questions for Campbell recipe for green bean casserole

Thanks!

recipe for chocolate raspberry fudge

link1time — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 03:02:25 GMT

Recently, I stopped by our local "American Frontier Culture Museum" in Staunton, VA. Went into the gift store and while there, I was offered a taste of their chocolate/raspberry fudge. It was delicious and I was wondering if anyone had a recipe for it or a similar one that I could substitute raspberry flavor? The fudge I sampled was chocolate w/ dark pink swirls in it.

Hoping someone will be able to help me out.

Thanks.

HELP!! I've lost my recipe!!!

maddydog — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 03:16:35 GMT

Help, I've lost my recipe and I can't seem to find an archive in the Taste of Home website. I can't remember the complete name of the dessert but I remember bits of it. It is a torte that came from the December/January 2007 issue. I just made it and now I can't find where I put the recipe!! I would love to make this for Thanksgiving dessert so if someone out there can help me I would be so grateful. I remember that it had "Praline or Pecan" in the name of the torte. Some of the ingredients in it are: chocolate cream-filled cookies and butter for the crust, pecans, 2- 8 ounce packs of cream cheese & brown sugar for one of the layers, brown sugar,butter & vanilla for the caramel layer and semi-sweet chocolate chips & heavy cream for the ganache as the topping for the torte. I hope there is an angel out there that can help me or guide me in the right direction to find this recipe! Thank you, Kellsbells

p.s. I remember it was an award winning recipe. Maybe a blue ribbon winner.

Cracked sugar cookie

QueenBee1 — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 05:37:32 GMT

Anyone have a recipe for the giant sugar cookies they used to serve in school cafeterias? They were awesome. Also if anyone has a recipe for a cookie called "Monster Cookie" I remember it had rice crispies in it but was like a giant chocolate chip cookie with lots of goodies.

I am trying to find a cake recipe for a kind of a spice cake that has a brown sugar type bottom sort of like pineapple upside down cake.

Thanksgiving Turkey Baked In A Paper Bag (Old Southern Recipe)

oldschoozchef — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 04:24:09 GMT

Many years ago I ran upon a Thanksgiving turkey recipe that was as old as the paper bag itself and prepared this Thanksgiving dinner that is still talked about today. The results were an amazingly moist, tender and golden brown turkey. This is a priceless Thanksgiving turkey recipe that is simple and does not put any constraints on your time. In fact this Thanksgiving turkey recipe will allow you to go about your daily/nightly routine worry-free, while it is slow roasting in the oven the old-fashioned way.

Please find the recipe @ http://commonsensereports.com

And other unknown Deep South recipes @ http://hubpages.com/hub/comebacksauce

Thanks and let me know what you think,

Brussel Sprouts recipe

kathy2200 — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:23:33 GMT

About15 years ago I had this great recipe I used at Thanksgiving. It had Brussel sprouts, Cauliflower, corn & other vegetables in a white sauce. Was then baked in the oven. I would really like to have a copy of it again. I think I originally got it from a magazine. Perhaps Womens Day or Family Circle. Can anyone help?

Thanks Kathy

I am looking for a recipe I used to make when my kids were young - somewhere along the line it got lost. It is for a chocolate cookie made with Bisquick, chocolate ice cream, cinnamon and chocolate chips. Does anyone have this recipe or something like it. I would like to surprise my grown kids with a batch for Christmas.
