I have a recipe from Norway that calls for "Cresent". I know it is a spice, but
what is it and how can I find it in the US? Is there a spice I can substitute for
it?

Kaylin,

I would like recipes for things I can make to put aside for using later- not in
my freezer (too small), but in my pantry. Some days when I go to the store
things I need are just not there any more and I hate going back days later to try
to find them. Please send recipes for mixes and other things that I can do this
with. Thank you in advance.

I read your article on making our own instant oatmeal. I like instant oatmeal
with raisins and walnuts. Making my own packeys, can I microwave, using milk
like I do now with the Quaker packets?

Ron Elliot

Note from Kaylin: You can add anything you like when making your own oatmeal-
that is one of the advantages to doing this. You can also use any liquid you
like when mixing it up. I have used juices, milk, water- let your imagination
help you make it as delicious as you like! For those of you who did not read the
article in the "Dollar Stretcher", here is the recipe. Enjoy!

Serving Size : Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Grill/Barbecue         Picnic
Salads            Sylvia Friendly
Vegetables

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 head lettuce, iceberg -- cut up
1 red onion -- chopped
1 head cauliflower -- cut up
1/4 cup sugar -- sprinkled over mayo; Sylvia's Note: I do not use
1 cup mayonnaise -- to taste
1 cup Parmesan cheese -- to taste. Sylvia's Note: In this case
use the canned type or finely grate fresh

Layer ingredients in large bowl as follows (I am not sure exact quart size, but
the bowl I use is approximately 12" diameter by 5" deep):
1) Wash, dry and cut up the head of lettuce. Add to bowl.
2) Peel and chop the red onion and add in a layer over top of lettuce.
3) Wash, dry and cut up up the head of cauliflower into small florets or pieces
and add in a layer over top of red onion.
4) Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar over cauliflower (I do not use).
5) Spread thin layer of mayonnaise over the cauliflower (to taste -- I use
approximately 1 cup, maybe a little less)
6) Next would be a layer of canned grated parmesan cheese (a heavy layer).
7) Next would be a layer of real bacon bits (1 lb chopped and fried).
Refrigerate overnight. Toss to serve.
 

Kaylin,

Here's a recipe that I made last night and it turned out great! Even though it's
a crockpot recipe, I made it on the stove top on "low" and it everyone loved it.

Apple Corned Beef

1 corned beef brisket
1 quart apple juice
1 cup brown sugar
1 tbs prepared mustard
8 small red potatoes
2 medium carrots, pared and cut into chunks
1 onion, peeled and cut into eighths
1/2 head cabbage, cut into chunks

Place all ingredients in large crock pot (cut meat in half if necessary). Stir to
mix. Cook for 4 to 5 hours on high or 8 to 10 hours on low. Remove meat and
vegetables and some of the cooking liquid. Slice meat thinly across the grain.
Serve with the vegetables and some of the liquid.
