8 med. green tomatoes
1 c. sm bread crumbs, toasted
1-1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper

Cut tomatoes a little under 1/2 inch in thickness and arrange half of
them in single layer in greased baking dish. Scatter on half of bread
crumbs, salt and pepper. Dot with half the butter. Repeat, making a
second layer. Sprinkle with cheese on top. Bake uncovered 45-50 minutes

difference.

Rich's Note: TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE
It's that awkward time of the year again when we at the du Jours ask you
for donations: there is no pleasant way to sugar coat a fund drive no
matter how hard we try. Some of you folks contribute during the year
(and we thank you!), but most of the donations we receive are in
response to THIS event -- our yearly fund raiser. Yuk.
If you cannot afford to send anything, that's fine. We will not
unsubscribe you. If you are one of those who think everything on the
Internet should be free and you just will not send us any money, that's
fine, too. We will not unsubscribe you either. But if you can find in it
your heart and wallet to send us $5 or $10 or $20 or even $1,213.42, we
would be very grateful.
A lot of personal time has been put into the daily publication of the
Recipe du Jour family of ezines; their continued existence is made
possible ONLY by donations from subscribers like you. Think about that.
If we were in this to make money these past ten years, we would have
folded a long while ago. It's especially nice when our expenses are met
through donations rather than from our own pockets.
If you enjoy receiving the du Jours, bear with our fund drive and let us
know by sending a check for any amount payable to "Recipe du Jour" to:
Recipe du Jour
PO Box 195
Henrico NC, 27842
OR, if you prefer using PayPal:
use PAYPAL ( http://www.paypal.com ) and donate (via your account or
their secure credit card site) directly thru Rich's email address (
ri-@recipedujour.com ).
Thank you.

My neighbor gave us some fresh green beans from his garden, so I decided
to make something up with them. I like simple, so this is what I ended
up with. It turned out to be really good, and my normally fussy husband
actually had seconds! Mary Questions? sbea-@yahoo.com
Lemon Pecan Green Beans
2 quarts fresh green beans
1 onion (about 3 inches in diameter, is that medium?)
1 lemon
1/2 cup chopped pecans
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp "Pinch of Herbs" spice by Lawry's
1/3 cup water
Clean and snap beans into 1 1/2 inch sections
peel and slice onion very thin.
saute onions in the olive oil in a skillet until translucent
Add the green beans, water, and the pinch of herbs spice, mix, and
cover. Cook on high heat for about 10 to 15 minutes or until beans are
cooked, and onions are carmelized.
Transfer to serving dish. Sprinkle chopped pecans evenly over top, and
squeeze the lemon evenly over the top (use the whole lemon, I cut it
into quarters to make it easy to squeeze).
Serves 4. No idea on the nutritional info.

I live in TN and, oh boy, the tomatoes have all come in at once! Here's
a great recipe when you have excess tomatoes you need to do something
with. jennifer.-@crackerbarrel.com
Macaroni and Tomatoes
blend enough fresh tomatoes to make approx. 3 cups liquid
1 tablespoon butter
3/4 tablespoon sugar
dash garlic powder
dash salt
3-4 handfuls elbow mac or shell-shaped noodles
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella (optional)
Combine first 5 ingredients in pot. Bring to low boil and add noodles.
Boil on low until noodles done (approx 15 minutes). Top with a sprinkle
of cheese and enjoy
The noodles absorb the flavor of the tomato juice and are delicious.
Before I blend my tomatoes, I let whole tomato sit in almost boiling
water for 3 minutes, then I slide the skin off.

Was discussing circus peanut candy (big, orange, marshmallow-like) with
my 90-yr old mom today and she mentioned that a friend (now deceased)
used to make a cake using this candy. Does anyone have that recipe? If
so, would you share? Thanks.

My son lives in Seattle and brought home a carton of Butternut Squash
Soup that was distributed by Safeway. It was delicious and I've tried
to duplicate it but haven't succeeded. Does anyone have this recipe?
It was sweet, yet spiced with garlic, paprika, maybe some cayenne or hot
pepper flakes. It was very smooth with no lumps. I'd appreciate any
help you can give as it was delicious! Kelly

Is there anyone who have a recipe for strawberry banana cake. My
girlfriend birthday is coming up, and she told me that was her favorite
cake, but she couldn't find anyone that could make it. I would greatly
appreciate someone sending this recipe to me.
