Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Lime gelatin and cottage cheese salad

    • franniepie on April 21, 2021

      Though out of fashion, this is so delicious. It seems unlikely but it’s refreshing & addictive. Our family calls it ‘Green Mold’ and it’s begged for around the holidays. I make it without horseradish, too.

    • ianapoli on June 26, 2015

      made (and liked) this in 1977 but cannot believe anyone would still make it....

  • Walnut bourbon balls

    • LaurieMolnar on July 14, 2011

      you can use bourbon or whiskey, and i prefer using crushed pecans- these look unusual, but are divine. make sure to let them set for a day or so before serving- you can even tray freeze them in advance.

  • Sour cream noodles

    • ianapoli on June 26, 2015

      too dry Oct 2012

  • Chicken étouffée

    • ianapoli on June 29, 2015

      Serve with rice. Jan 2003

  • Chicken Tetrazzini

    • ianapoli on June 29, 2015
