I've been sneaking peeks into women's Recipes boxes and have been spreading the word in
networking groups and struck gold! Below you'll see a few and if you have one you'd like to
share, please do so! I think my girlfriends are on to me because I'm no longer allowed in their
kitchens unsupervised! So I need your help!
Dad's Fudge
3 Cups Sugar
2/3 c Hershey's Cocoa
1/8 tsp Salt
1- 1/2 cups Milk
1/4 cup Butter (1/2 stick)
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Butter the plate that you intend on using for the
fudge. We always used a platter about 12" long.
Mix Sugar, Cocoa and Salt in a Heavy 4 qt sauce pan. Stir in
Milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly
until it comes to a full rolling boil. Boil without stirring until
mixture forms soft ball when placed in a very cold cup of
water. Have a couple of inches of cold water in a clean sink
waiting for you and once the mixture is ready, put in your
Butter and Vanilla. Stirring constantly, and vigorously, place
the pan into the standing water while stirring until the
mixture begins to thicken and it just begins to loose some
of it's gloss. Quickly, pour mixture on to the buttered dish.
For best results do not double this recipe. It is oh so good!

Rochelle,The Cinnamon Lady
Cinna-Minnies Apple Crisp
1/2 cup shortening
(Grandmother probably used lard)
1/3 cup molasses
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg, well beaten
1/2 cup buttermilk
3 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. soda
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. ginger
Cream the sugar and shortening. Add egg, molasses and
buttermilk. Sift flour, baking powder, soda and ginger. Add to
creamed mixture and mix well. It makes a dough. Add enough
flour to roll as thin as pastry. Divide it into thirds or fourths and roll
and cut it into 9 inch circles. It makes at least 5 layers, maybe six.
Bake on a cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Just
until it starts to be crispy. When cool, stack layers with highly
spiced and sweetened old fashioned dried apples or apple
sauce, about 4 cups. Grandmother used apples that she had
dried in the sun, but I have made it with "boughten" dried apples
and even with applesauce. Let it stand at least 24 hours, but
longer is better. This freezes well.

onion till tender. Gradually stir in the flour till you have a small pasty
mixture. Gradually stir in the broth. Cook, stirring constantly till the

Celebrate Heritage
Wild Rice Soup
2/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup olive oil
2 Tbs soy sauce
4 1/2 tsp firmly packed golden brown sugar
3/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh rosemary
5 garlic cloves, chopped
2 pork tenderloins, about 2 1/2 lb total, trimmed
salt to taste
In a food processor, combine the vinegar, olive oil, soy sauce, brown
sugar, and pepper and pulse until blended. With the motor running,
drop the rosemary and garlic through the feed tube and continue to
process until fairly smooth. Place the tenderloins in a nonreactive dish
and pour the marinade over them. Cover and let stand at room
temperature, turning occasionally, for up to 2 hours.
Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for direct grilling over medium-high heat
Remove the tenderloins from the marinade, reserving the marinade
Grill the meat over the heat elements, turn meat every 4-5 minuets and
bast with the marinade for up to 5 minuets before the meat is done
until cooked to your liking, about 20 min total for medium.
To test for doneness, insert an instant-read thermometer into the
thickest part of the tenderloins; it should read 140 F. The temp will rise
another 5 to 10 F while the meat is resting.
Transfer the tenderloins to a carving board, cover loosely with
aluminum foil and let rest for 5 min. Carve into slices across the grain
and at an angle to the cutting board. Season with salt. Serve hot or at
room temperature. Serves 4-6

October's just around the corner! Yikes! Where did this year go? I've have a lot of new, great recipes headed here
for October, along with a little homework of mine! The Yuca Root. Ever hear of it? I just had it out dining this
afternoon, so my homework assignment is to find out all I can to bring it here. I was pleasantly surprised at how
flavorful it was. So I'm off to my neighbors kitchen to see if she can help me find more on this tasty little treat. Keep
checking back! Food... Don't you just love it! (Yes, Yuca is spelled correctly, just in case you were wondering).
