Our 4 year old granddaughter does not like to eat veggies or fruit - I guess like most kids
this age. Does anyone have any suggestions for any recipes that kids like that might
help get these in her diet? Thank you!

Hi Kaylin,

I've been a subscriber for years and I really love your ezine, thanks so much for all of your
hard work to keep it going. When I left home almost 25 years ago, I bought a small
journal and wrote down some of my mom and grandma's old favorite recipes. That little
book has been with me through thick and thin, but it recently got misplaced (translation --
I think my oldest son swiped it when he moved out and won't fess up to having it). Some
of the recipes were easy to replace, I just asked my mom, but I'm still missing two of my
old favorites, and she can't find them anywhere. First of all, I want MY recipe for banana
bread. My mom says it was no big deal, that any old banana bread recipe will do, but
she's WRONG. This one was dense and moist, but not overly heavy.... it was delicious.
The "lift" in it came from baking soda that was dissolved in buttermilk or soured milk
before adding to the batter. Does this sound familiar to anyone? The other recipe that I
can't find anywhere is for Summer Sausage. It was made with lean ground beef, garlic,
mustard seed, black pepper and curing salt, shaped into logs and chilled overnight, then
wrapped in aluminum foil and boiled for one hour. This was a favorite for snacking
anytime. If anyone can help me replace these, I'd be grateful.

Hi,

I gave in to temptation and bought several bags of those cheap chocolate Santas and bells from the dollar store. They were on sale, four bags for $1, so I couldn't resist. Now I am looking for some creative, quick suggestions for using them. Has anyone tried cutting them up and adding to cookies or brownies? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Kaylin,

This recipe is for Joyce who is looking for Manwich copycat recipes. I've never had
Manwich because my mom always made the best homemade sloppy joes. Now I make
them, and my husband LOVES them. I think they're so good that I don't even use a bun
when I eat this great meat. They're quick and easy to make, and the recipe uses basic
ingredients that most people will have around all the time. I hope that it's a good
substitute for Manwich. Enjoy!

MOM'S SLOPPY JOES

1 lb. ground beef (very lean)
1/2 cup chopped onion OR 2 Tbl. dry onions (just as good & much easier)
1/8 t. pepper
1 Tbl. flour
1 cup water
2 t. Worcestershire sauce
3/4 c. ketchup

In skillet, put in meat and next 3 ingredients. Cook until meat loses red color, stirring
occasionally. Drain off any fat. Stir in water, Worcestershire sauce, and ketchup. Cook
uncovered for about 20 minutes. Serve on buns.

Here's a good one! tastes good to me!

1 pound lean ground beef or turkey
1/2 cup catsup
1/2 cup steak sauce
1/3 cup barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons hot mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
6 hamburger buns

Brown the meat in a non-stick pan or with a little oil in a regular pan. Add remaining
ingredients, except the buns. Cook for about 15 minutes, to blend flavors and to reduce
the liquids.

Manwich is a commercial version of sloppy joes. I'm sure that there are dozens of recipes
available but this is the one I use. (from an old cookbook.) I think that the flavor of
homemade is much better than commercial brands.

1 pound hamburger
1 medium onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1/3 cup chopped celery
1/3 cup chopped green pepper
1/3 cup catsup (increase to 1/2 cup for more sauce)
1/4 water
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/8 teaspoon red pepper sauce (Tabasco type)
1 teaspoon salt
5 hamburger buns

Cook hamburger and onion in skillet until hamburger is done, drain. Stir in remaining
ingredients, except buns. Cook and stir over low heat until veggies are done, about 10-15
minutes. Fill buns with meat mixture.

1/4 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
