I had a recipe called 3C Cake and I can't find it. The 3C stood for chocolate chip
cookie. It called for 4 rolls of chocolate chip cookie dough. This was the top and
bottom layers. In between was a gooey layer. I think it had cream cheese, butter and
powdered sugar. I had another similar recipe but I don't remember what it was called.
If anyone has it, I sure would appreciate it. Thanks,

Deb

I had a recipe for a cake named HAWAIIAN CAKE and I have lost it. I'm not sure of
the name because the search I have done on the internet is not what I'm looking for. It
has regular cake mix, mandarin oranges, pineapple, banana, orange Jell-O mix, and
coconut; covered with a cream cheese frosting with a sprinkle of coconut. Does
anyone have a recipe like this? Thanks,

Suzette

Hi Kaylin,

Hope all our cooking friends out there can help me with a request. While taking stock
of my cellar the other day I realized that I have several dozen pints of sweet relishes of
various kinds left over. I would like to know if any of the readers could help me with
ways to use up the relish. I currently use it in potato salad, etc., tuna salad, deviled
eggs, and serve it with sloppy joes and meats. Any other ideas? Thanks.

Sue

Re: Remodeling Kitchen

I can certainly relate to microwave cooking in the kitchen, and washing dishes in the
bathroom. WE did it for 2 months in the fall remodeling our kitchen. My suggestions,
use a crock pot, and if you have it, an electric skillet. also we used our charcoal grill
quite a bit. I cooked meals for 10 people who were helping us every weekend this
way. If you use the grill, you can also cook extra, to reheat in the microwave. This
type of cooking will definitely get old, but you will get thru it, and have a gorgeous
kitchen when you are done.

This recipe came from Shirley in Kansas:

Chicken Taco Filling

Use this flavorful meat in soft tacos, hard tacos, nachos, burritos, salads, or almost
anywhere.

1 packet taco seasoning (or 4 T. bulk taco seasoning)
1 c. chicken broth
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts

Dissolve taco seasoning into chicken broth. Place chicken breasts in crockpot and
pour chicken broth over. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours. With two forks, shred
the chicken meat into bite-sized pieces. To freeze, place shredded meat into freezer
bags with the juices. Press out all the air and seal.

Italian Crockpot Chicken

5-6 Boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
8 oz cream cheese
1- 11oz can cream of mushroom soup
4-8 oz canned mushrooms (depending on how much your family likes them)
1 package dry Italian dressing mix

Place chicken breasts on bottom of the crock. Combine rest of ingredients and pour
over chicken. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Make a little microwave rice and a veggie
and you’re all set!

This is my favorite and easiest to fix Hawaiian recipe for the person who requested
Hawaiian recipes.

Kalua Pork

3 - 4 lbs Pork Butt (prefer boneless)
2 Tbs. Liquid smoke
2 Tbs. Salt (sea salt or Kosher preferred)

Rub pork with liquid smoke and salt all over. Enclose in aluminum foil and bake at
275° for approximately 4-5 hours. Do not open foil to peak. Remove from oven. Open
foil and shred with two forks. Also can be made in the crockpot and cooked on low for
about 8 hours. It is real good with cabbage steamed with it.
