Nabisco Sugar Wafer Dessert -----Original Message----- From: Judy Sent: Saturday, April 02, 2016 2:56 PM To: phaedrus@hungrybrowser.com Subject: Nabisco sugar vanilla creme wafer peach ice box cake dessert Hello, I lost the recipe that my mother gave me years ago, perhaps it was a 1940’s recipe. It contained crushed Nabisco sugar creme vanilla wafer, then a cream layer, then drained canned peaches and topped with whipped cream and a sprinkling of crushed Nabisco wafers again. I am hoping you can track down this recipe for me. Thank you. Judy Hi Judy, I am sending you the only recipe that I can find that calls for sugar wafers and fits your description. However, it calls for bananas, which you did not mention. You can, of course, omit the bananas if your mother didn't use them. See below. Note that this dessert has two eggs in it, and since the dessert is not cooked, these are raw eggs. Make this dessert being aware of the risks of raw eggs or use pasteurized eggs. Phaed Nabisco Dessert 1/2 cup butter 1 cup powdered sugar 2 egg yolks, beaten 2 egg whites, beaten 2 fresh peaches or canned sliced peaches, well drained 2 bananas 1/2 pound Nabisco sugar wafers 1/2 pint of whipping cream Cream butter and sugar. Add beaten egg yolks. Beat egg whites separately and fold in to mixture. Crush sugar wafers. Butter a 9x13x2-inch pan. Pat half of the sugar wafers on bottom of pan. Spread mixture carefully on top of ground sugar wafers, add sliced bananas on top of mixture. Slice fresh peaches or drain canned sliced peaches and put on top of bananas. Whip cream. Spread on top of peaches. Put remaining crushed Nabisco sugar wafers on top of whipped cream. Refrigerate for several hours. ==================================================================== Yes, that is the exact recipe that I was looking for!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I looked all over the internet for it. I can’t believe you found the exact recipe and also the pan size to make it in. I never knew the pan size as my mother never put it in the recipe directions. I think she used an 8 x 11-inch glass dish. Anyway, I can’t thank you enough for tracking down the recipe. Most Sincerely, Judy Weight Watchers Pineapple Cake -----Original Message----- From: Margaret Sent: Friday, April 15, 2016 7:43 AM To: phaedrus@hungrybrowser.com Subject: Old weight watchers recipe Hi Phaedrus, My name is Margaret. I had a weight watches recipe book about 35/40 years ago that had a recipe for pineapple upside down cake that was made with tinned pineapple rings & bread. I loaned the book to someone & never got it back. I am unable to remember the recipe & can't find it anywhere. Can you help me please? I really loved this cake. Thanks in anticipation. Kind Regards, Margaret Hello Margaret, I cannot find a pineapple upside down cake that says it is from Weight Watchers and that uses bread. The only recipe that I can find is just for "Pineapple Cake" and it uses crushed pineapple, not sliced pineapple rings. It is intended for diabetics and uses sugar substitute. See below. If this is not satisfactory, then please explain what you mean about bread used in the recipe. I'll post this for reader input. Phaed Pineapple Cake 1 c. crushed pineapple, drained, reserve juice 2 eggs, separated 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar 2/3 c. dry powdered milk 1 tsp. sugar substitute, suitable for baking 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. butter 4 tbsp. pineapple juice 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1 tsp. cinnamon 2 slices bread, broken into sm. pieces Place the drained pineapple in an 8 inch square pan. In a bowl combine the egg whites, cream of tartar; beat until stiff. Set aside. In another bowl combine the egg yolks, milk, sugar substitute, vanilla, soda, butter, pineapple juice and cinnamon; beat 5 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add the broken bread and beat again. Carefully fold the egg mixture into the egg whites; pour over pineapple and bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. ==================================================================== Thank you Phaedrus. This isn't the recipe I had, but it sounds good so will give it a try. I am a diabetic & that's the main reason I was looking for the recipe. Thanks again for your help it is most appreciated. Regards Margaret. NuWay Hot Dog Chili From: marie Sent: Sunday, April 10, 2016 4:53 PM To: phaedrus@hungrybrowser.com Subject: Nu way Nu way macon ga chili sauce top secret since 1919 but its a greek one. Hello Marie, The Nu-Way chili sauce recipe is still top secret. I had no success finding it or a copycat or a “tastes-like”. An interview with Nu-Way owner Spyros Dermatas:Now, the chili sauce that we put on the hot dog is just a straight ground beef chili sauce with the spices. There is a video here that shows how they cook the red wieners I can give you a generic Greek hot dog chili recipe.

Please,thank Terri Hi Terri, I will be happy to send you a chili recipe, but I don't know which one you want. I have many different ones. Most of the chili dog recipes that I have are from restaurants or drive-ins. Which restaurant's chili recipe  do you want? The only chili dog place that I know of in Macon is "NuWay." Is that it?

I searched for the NuWay recipe a few years ago, in 2016, with no success. I searched for it again today per your request, but it still does not appear to be available. See the 2016 post here:  5-23-16 However, I was told that NuWay's chili recipe is a basic Greek hot dog chili recipe, and I do have one of those. Try the recipe below and adjust it to your liking. I have a page that is devoted to hot dog chili recipes. You might want to try some of them.
