Good morning and Welcome to yet another edition to Recipe-Lovers. I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of the newest members that have joined us and a great big thank you to all of you who continue to support me.
I hope you are all had a wonderful holiday and are getting ready for the New Year. We had a wonderful time, even though the kids were sick. I woke up early to put the turkey in the oven before the kids woke up. A few hours later I discovered that I turned the oven off instead of on. Just goes to show I should never cook prior to that first pot of coffee. All in all we still ate on time and had loads of fun playing with all the new toys Santa brought. The kids are finally starting to feel better. I think Stuart is the only one with a cough left but he is starting to buzz around the house like normal now so it looks like we will ring in the New Year feeling much better.
Have a great day everyone and enjoy the recipes! I look forward to be back with you all in the morning! Remember if you can’t read it here you can read it online at *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Hi Linda; First, thank you for all the wonderful recipes you send out to us. They are greatly appreciated and I feel they are sent with Christian Love and Light. Do you have access to a recipe for fruit cake???? I don't mean just any old fruit cake. Someone gave me a homemade one many years ago that I have never forgotten. It was so totally filled with that wonderful fruit. So much of it. I love fruitcake of any kind, but so desire to find a recipe that is chock full of fruit and really tasty. I do hope you have one and can share. I don't understand people putting down fruit cake, as they did this morning on Good Morning America. I'm sure there are a lot of folks who love and appreciate a great fruitcake. Even if you are not one of us, I do hope you have a recipe for us fruitcake lovers. God Bless You and thanks in advance if you can help. I would love to make one for the holidays. Anita K. T. Happy Holidays to you and yours.
Holiday Fruitcake
1/2 cup shortening 3/4 cup sugar 1 egg 2 cups flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon baking soda 1 teaspoon allspice 1/4 cup cloves 1 cup mixed fruit 1/2 cup cut-up dates 1/2 cup red cherries 1/2 cup green cherries 1/2 cup raisins 1/2 to 1 cup nuts 1 cup applesauce Rum
In a large bowl cream together the shortening, sugar, and egg. Add the flour, salt, baking soda, allspice, and cloves. Fold in the fruit and nuts. In a saucepan heat the applesauce to a boiling point. Let cool and add to batter. Pour the batter into a 10-inch tube pan. Bake at 350-degrees,for 1 hour and 10 minutes. When cool, remove from pan and pour rum slowly over the cake. Wrap in foil and refrigerate. You may pour rum over again the next day.
If you have more time on your hands and don’t mind waiting, this is a great Fruit Cake recipe.
Holiday Fruit Cake 2
2 cups mixed candied fruit 1 (4-ounce) can citron, chopped 1 pound dates, pitted 1/2 pound (1-cup) whole candied cherries 1 cup raisins 1 cup pecan halves 1 cup walnut halves 4 cups sifted flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground cloves 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 cup butter 2 cup sugar 4 eggs 1 teaspoon baking soda 1-1/2 cup buttermilk Orange juice
To prepare the baking pans: you can use one 10-inch tube pan or three 8 x 4-1/4 x 2-1/4 inch foil pans. Cut parchment or brown paper liners for the bottoms of the pans; grease each paper with unsalted fat. Top with one layer of waxed paper. Grease all of the paper and the inside of the pan generously. Prepare and measure the fruit; cut it in pieces the size of dates. (Leave nuts, cherries and dates whole.) In a bowl sift together the flour, salt and spices. Use enough of this flour mixture to coat all fruit pieces. In a large bowl cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy; beat in the eggs, one at a time. Add the baking soda to the remaining flour mixture; add alternately with buttermilk to the creamed mixture. Mix the batter with the fruits and nuts. Spoon the batter into prepared pan or pans. To decorate, lay the nuts and large fruit pieces on top to form a design. Bake the cake at 300-degrees. This amount in a 10-inch tube pan bakes in 2-1/2 hours; 1-pound amounts bake in about 1-1/4 hours. Cool cake out of pan on a wire rack. When completely cool, apply orange juice or cider to the entire cake with pastry brush. Wrap in waxed paper, then in foil. Store in a covered container in cool place. After two weeks, unwrap and brush again with orange juice or cider. Back to Top *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I think I have covered the basis here in Egg Nog. There is Egg Nog for everyone here I do believe. I have had so many request I thought I would put them all here. Please note the recipes that call for the use of raw eggs: Please, use caution! Eating raw eggs is a known health risk and can cause Salmonella. This is a serious infection, and it is believed that in the US over two-thirds of a million cases of human illnesses a year result from eating contaminated eggs. To check your eggs for freshness while they are still in their shell, fill a cup with cool water. If the egg sinks, it's fresh. If it floats, it's stale. When you crack the egg, you want to make sure that the whites cling firmly to the yolk. The higher the egg floats, the less likely it is to be fresh. Another test you can do on eggs is to shake it. Fresh eggs make No sound and old eggs will make a sloshing sound.
Egg Nog (Non Alcohol)
6 cups milk 2 eggs 1/2 cup sugar 1 package instant French vanilla pudding 1 teaspoon vanilla
In a large bowl combine all of the ingredients and beat well. Add nutmeg and or cinnamon to taste. Makes 2 quarts.
Egg Nog (Alcohol)
6 eggs, separated 1 cup sugar 1 cup whiskey (optional) 1 quart milk 1 pint whipping cream Dash of salt Nutmeg
In a large bowl cream the egg yolks with the sugar. Add the whiskey, add the milk. In another bowl beat the whipping cream until stiff, fold into the egg mixture. In another bowl beat the egg whites until foamy and fold into the mixture. Serve.
Faux Egg Nog (Low Fat)
1-1/2 cups egg substitute 2 tablespoon liquid sweetener (or 1/4-cup Equal) 2 tablespoons vanilla 1 can evaporated skim milk 3 cups skim milk 1 tablespoon brandy
In a large bowl beat the egg substitute on medium speed of an electric mixture until light and fluffy. Add the sweetener, vanilla and milks. Add the brandy and mix well. Refrigerate for 24 hours to blend flavors. To serve: Stir well and sprinkle with nutmeg. It's not as thick as "the real thing" but 4 ounce has only 70 calories and 0.5 grams of fat.

Good morning and Welcome to yet another edition to Recipe-Lovers. I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of the newest members that have joined us and a great big thank you to all of you who continue to support me.
I hope you all had a great time bring in the New Year. We had a blast. We ate until we couldn’t eat anything else. And we had leftovers! As my husband put it I went over the top again. I do that every year. I guess I keep thinking that the kids are getting bigger and so are the appetites. But no, they were the same. We did let them stay up to see the ball drop. They really enjoyed it a lot. Of course now they want to stay up every night. Not going to happen. No way! They did sleep in so that was good. Yesterday I made a big ham and all of the trimmings. It really turned out nicely. Afterwards, we slept most of the afternoon. Now that is a great way to bring in the New Year if you ask me.
Have a great weekend everyone and enjoy the recipes! I look forward to be back with you all on Monday! Remember if you can’t read it here you can read it online at RECIPE-LOVERS.COM *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Linda, I have a prayer request for a stray cat I named Paulie. Paulie is beautiful...orange and white long hair, orange eyes, and two extra toes on each of his feet. Paulie came to me as a stray about ten months ago. He was scrawny, his hair was tangled and he was so scared that it took three months just to get near him. Since then, he would eat two meals per day at my house, sleep in my garage at night (I couldn't let him in the house as my Siamese wanted to mangle him.), and became a very loving, sociable cat. But we went away for Thanksgiving and I had a neighbor feeding him. She never saw him, however. He still hasn't come back. I've put ads in the papers, contacted most people in our area, talked to the workers at the local shelter, and searched for him many times. Nothing has worked. I ask that you and your subscribers please pray for Paulie in hopes that he is safe and happy wherever he is. Maybe someone gave him a warm home with lots of food and love. That's what I hope for anyway. He is such a sweet kitty and I miss him terribly. Thank you. Lisa, Brighton, Colorado
Lisa, all of us at Recipe-Lovers will be praying for Pauli. May God watch over Pauli and bring him home again. May he keep him safe and away from harm. If Pauli has been taken in by a new family may God be with them and give Pauli a wonderful home. May God be with you and comfort you as you continue to search for Pauli. May God bless you all.
Do you have a prayer request or a special day you would like to announce? If so please forward it on to me at mailto:Linda@Recipe-Lovers.com *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* *Party Pleasers*

Good morning and Welcome to yet another edition to Recipe-Lovers. I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of the newest members that have joined us and a great big thank you to all of you who continue to support me.
I hope you are all having a great day. It is very chilly here this morning. Last night we went out and completed the yard work that needed to be done. I think we may have done that just in time. It is starting to feel like winter here. It is so hard to believe Christmas is just 8 days away. I am not ready yet! No shopping done, cards are not done, you name it, it is not done. Today starts half day kindergarten for my daughter for the rest of the week. So I think I will get the kids together and get some decorating done this week. They are excited about Santa coming. This morning Spencer asked how many list he can make for Santa. He was counting out the list he needs to make. I have a feeling this is going to be a very entertaining Christmas this year. They are so into it and singing Christmas songs and everything. It has been great!
I have to get going here. Have a great day everyone and enjoy the recipes! I look forward to be back with you all in the morning. Remember if you can’t read it here you can read it online at RECIPE-LOVERS.COM *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Last month you did a prayer request for my Mom--June Dorton. I think it went very well cause when she passed she was in Great Peace and went with a smile. We told her to go on and Ride with the Angels! And she did. Now I have a Prayer Request for my only baby, (I have raised my husbands children like my own--there was no difference between Leeza and the others at all) Leeza has a very rare and very aggressive Breast Cancer (called Inflammatory Breast Cancer) She is only 34 years old and has two small girls, 10 and 3) All I am asking if for you all to Pray for her--she has a awesome outlook. And together we can come through this --Thank you, Her Mom, Shari B. This is twice I have asked for HELP!!!
Shari, there is no limit on the times you can ask for prayer. That is a gift that God supplies to us all to use whenever we need. May God be with your mother now and may she rest with the angels guiding her by her side. May God be with you daughter Leeza and comfort her and make her well again. May God supply Leeza with the strength she will need to get through this and bring her to her family well again. May God be with the doctors and guide them so that they can find a cure for this decease and make many other like Leeza well again and bring them home to their families to live long healthy lives. May God be with Leezas family and give them the strength and understanding that they need to help Leeza through this time in her life. May he cradle each of you and let you feel his everlasting love. May God bless all of you and keep you well.

Good morning and Welcome to yet another edition to Recipe-Lovers. I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of the newest members that have joined us and a great big thank you to all of you who continue to support me.
I have been having some problems with the HTML version going out as a download. I am resending today's copy to see if this may work. Let me know if it comes as a download please.
I hope you are had a wonderful weekend. We stayed pretty busy and still haven’t done everything we need to. Like decorate, shop, write cards etc. Getting the picture yet? Christmas is just around the corner so I think this week I will spend getting ready. This morning has been crazy. First my daughter decided she didn’t want to go to school. Tears and all. When I asked why she said she would miss me. Oh my! That is the first time she had to go to school and said that. It was so hard to tell her that she had to go to school. But I did and we had a long chat and on the bus she went. Meanwhile, I am taking care of her and not paying attention to the breakfast table and turned around to see our new puppy (Sunshine) had stolen all of the bananas from the table. I didn’t know dogs like bananas. Before we know it she will be setting herself a place at the table and swinging from the light shade waiting on bananas. Oh No!!! The boys got a kick out of it and I took the bananas away from her. I think she is mad at me now. It looks as if she is pouting. I guess I better go cheer her up and make some doggy biscuits or something.
I have to get going here. Have a great day everyone and enjoy the recipes! I look forward to be back with you all in the morning. Remember if you can’t read it here you can read it online at *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Good morning and Welcome to yet another edition to Recipe-Lovers. I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of the newest members that have joined us and a great big thank you to all of you who continue to support me.
I hope you are having a wonderful day. I can’t believe it is Friday! Oh my so much to do and so little time! We went to the boy’s Christmas show last night. I was so proud of them. They were so adorable I completely had a mommy moment. Don’t talk to me because I would tear up. Oh thank heavens this only happens a few times a year. I would flood the place if they did this everyday. It is so amazing the feeling that come over you when you see your little one’s up there trying so hard to sing and do what they are suppose to. They came off the stage and their biggest concern was “did we clap”? You bet we did and cried too. They were just awesome!
Update: The fastest 48 to 72 hours I have ever seen. The change is made, the site is live and my email is up and running at mailto:Linda@recipe-lovers.com .

Swedish Potato Sausage
1 pound ground pork 1/2 pound ground beef 1 large onion, chopped 5 cups grated boiling potatoes 1 tablespoon salt 2 teaspoons allspice 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Mix all of the ingredients together really well, almost whipping them using a large wooden spoon. You can stuff the mixture into sausage skins if you like, just make patties or roll the whole thing into a long roll and wrap it in cheese cloth to cook it. If you do wrap it in cheese cloth, cover with water and bring to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes. Drain and cut into 2 inch pieces to serve. Pass a nice sweet mustard to go with the sausage. It's also good cold. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* *Prayer Request*

Serve with cinnamon sticks as stirrers. Serves: 6. Back to Top *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* *Today’s Tip*
If you need to save a few calories: When dips and toppings call for sour cream, try using cottage cheese or yogurt in place of the sour cream. The cottage cheese can be pressed through a sieve or put into a blender container and blend until smooth. You can substitute the yogurt with no additional preparation. This will lower the calories and lower the cost.

Christmas Popcorn Balls
6 tablespoons salad oil 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup popcorn, un-popped or 1 bag (3-1/2 ounce) ready-to-eat popcorn 1 package (3-ounce) strawberry or lime flavored gelatin 1-1/2 cups salted peanuts, coarsely chopped 1 cup light corn syrup Red or green food color
To pop popcorn: Heat 3-tablespoons of oil in a heavy, 4-quart saucepan, over medium heat. To test the temperature of the oil: Add 1 kernel of corn; cover pan, and shake often. When the kernel pops, add 1/4-cup popcorn in single layer; cover the pan, and shake often. Continue until all of the corn in the pan is popped. Turn out into large bowl. You can pop the corn in a popper if you have one on hand. Repeat the process with the remaining oil and popcorn. Add the peanuts to the popcorn; toss to combine. In a 1-quart saucepan, combine the corn syrup and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the sugar is dissolved. Without stirring, bring the mixture to a full, rolling boil. Remove from heat. Add the gelatin; stir until the gelatin is dissolved. If desired, add a few drops of food coloring. Pour the syrup mixture over the popcorn and peanuts; toss with a wooden spoon to coat well. (I like to butter the spoon). With lightly buttered hands, form the popcorn mixture into balls, using about 1/2-cup for each. Place on a tray lined with waxed paper; dry at room temperature. To store: When the popcorn balls are thoroughly dry, wrap individually in plastic wrap or colored foil. Keeps several weeks at room temperature. Makes about 2 dozen.
