Subject: Salad dressing recipe
Recently ate at 54th Street Bar & Grill in Kansas City, Mo. The food was
outstanding to say the least. I especially loved their house Ranch Dressing
which they use as a salad dressing or dipping sauce and as the basis for a
chipotle ranch dressing, too.
I search on line, found a food link, signed up but was not able to find
recipe in the general jumble of the website. But then I thought of you and
figured if anyone would have the recipe, it would be you. Please help.
Thanks as always,
Kaye
Hello Kaye,
Sorry, I had no success locating the recipe for 54th Street Bar & Grill's ranch
dressing. Neither the recipe itself nor a copycat appears to be available.

Subject: graham cracker box recipes
Hello:
Back in my youth, about 50 years ago, one of the Graham cracker boxes had a recipe for scratch brownies with a mocha frosting.
Whenever I made them they were a hit, and recently I've been looking for them without success. I live in MA and think it was
either Nabisco, or Keebler, but as a teenager I really didn't pay attention to brand names. This is driving me crazy and I've
been remembering specific occasions between 1965 and 1972. They look like a regular chocolate brownie, with a lighter topping.
If you could help me find this I'd appreciate it. I searched your site, but if it is there I couldn't find it.
Thanks in advance for any information you could give me.
Carole
Hello Carole,
Sorry, I had no success with this request. I found mocha brownie recipes, but none with graham crackers and none from a graham cracker box.

Hi,
This is similar to what I had as a kid. Perhaps it will work for Carol

Someone named Carole (see link below) was looking for a graham cracker-crumb
mocha brownie recipe from a box, in 2012. It was one of my favorites, too and I
was thinking of it today. I started searching online and kind of gave up. But then I
remembered I had cut it off the box (this would be in the 1970s) and I still have it
in my recipe clippings book. It's from a box of Nabisco graham cracker crumbs.

MOCHA BROWNIES
5 squares (5-ounces) semi-sweet chocolate
1/3 cup butter or margarine

1 1/4 cups sugar
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups Nabisco graham cracker crumbs
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans or walnuts
Coffee Glaze
Melt chocolate with butter over hot, not boiling water; cool.
Sift next 3 ingredients; set aside.
Beat eggs and sugar at medium speed until light.
Beat in chocolate mixture and vanilla extract.
Stir in flour mixture, graham cracker crumbs, and nuts.
Pour into a greased 9x9x2-inch pan. Bake in a preheated moderate oven (350 F),
40-45 minutes.

Makes 25 brownies, approximately 1 3/4" square.
COFFEE GLAZE

and 1 teaspoon instant coffee until butter and margarine has melted.
Add to 1 1/2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar. Blend until smooth.

Subject: Cookie recipe
Hello,
I am looking for the cookie recipe that I used to buy during my high school
years at James Ford Rhodes High School in Cleveland, Ohio. I attended from
1971 thru 1975. We had a large cafeteria with real lunch ladies! I think
they made everything from scratch.
I remember only one kind of cookie that they made and do not know the name.
Think it was a drop cookie, about 3 inches in diameter, rich dark honey
color. It seemed to have something crunchy it, can't believe it would have
been nuts due to cost. So I think maybe a crunched up cereal of some sort. I
think they sold for .04 each.
I have tried the Quick Oatmeal or Wheat Flake Cookie recipe from the Joy of
Cooking. It was good and maybe close, but do not think it is the recipe.
Would love to make these cookies.......
Laura
Hello Laura,
Sorry, I cannot find any mention at all of these cookies. I'll post this
request on the site.

Subject: wedding cake
Dear Phaedrus,
I am looking for my wedding cake recipe. It was called cherry nut batter, baked by the J.L. Hudson Dept. store bakery at Eastland in 1973.
It was a heavy buttery batter almost like fruit cake with large chunks of cherries and nuts( no other fruit) and frosted with regular white
wedding cake frosting. I think the ladies that worked in the bakery were German. Thank you
Donna
