In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make fluffy and flavorful Browned Butter Mashed Potatoes. These make a great accompaniment to almost any meal; with the extra flavor from the browned butter, they are extra special! Ingredients: ¾ cup butter (1 ½ sticks) 4 pounds potatoes, peeled and sliced into 3/8-inch slices. (I used Idaho potatoes, but you may use any potatoes that cook and mash well.) 3 teaspoons salt 1 ¼ cup milk 1 teaspoon lemon juice ¼ teaspoon white pepper Place ¾ cup butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until butter begins to turn golden brown—about 8 minutes. Immediately remove from heat and pour into a Pyrex glass measuring cup. The butter will become overbrowned if allowed to sit in the hot saucepan. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of the browned butter in a Pyrex custard cup for use as a topping for the mashed potatoes when they are done. Place 4 pounds of peeled and sliced potatoes into a large pot and cover with water. Add 2 teaspoons salt and place over medium heat. When the potatoes come to a boil, reduce the heat and boil 20 minutes, or until tender. Drain the potatoes, discarding the potato water. Let potatoes sit for a few minutes, so that they will dry out a bit. Meanwhile, stir 1 teaspoon lemon juice into 1 1/4 cup milk. Now, mash the potatoes with a potato masher to desired consistency. Add browned butter (except for the 2 reserved tablespoons), 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon white pepper, and about 1 cup of the …
In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a gorgeous and flavorful Summertime Fruit Salad.

Now, use a large bowl, and combine the 3 prepared fruits (including lemon juice). Add 1/2 cup Splenda or sugar. Stir gently, so that the blackberries will not bleed into the other fruits. When completely blended, pour the fruit mixture into a nice, clear serving bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a zesty Lemonade Syrup Splash. It is a concentrate that you can refrigerate or freeze and have instant, refreshing lemonade anytime! Ingredients: 1 cup fresh lemon juice (In a pinch, you may use reconstituted lemon juice from a bottle.) 2 cups sugar (You may use artificial sweetener, if you choose. I used Splenda.) 1 cup water Combine 2 cups sugar and 1 cup water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, and boil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool. (You may cool this syrup at room temperature for a bit, and then you may refrigerate it to make it cool faster.) Add 1 cup lemon juice. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator. (I use a *clean* mayonnaise jar with a lid, and shake the mixture every time I use it.) When ready to serve, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the lemonade syrup to 1 tall glass of ice water. During the summertime this is great to keep in your refrigerator. You can have a tall, refreshing glass instantly, or you can use more of the syrup for a pitcher of lemonade for lunch or dinner! This should be one of your savers!

In a small saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Remove from heat. Add 2 tablespoons flour, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and ½ cup orange juice. Return to heat, stirring constantly until thickened. Drain heated beets. Add sauce to beets, and stir gently to coat. Pour into a nice serving dish. These beets are an excellent accompaniment to almost any meat entree. Happy beet-eating!
In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make healthy and delicious broiled breaded catfish. In this recipe the breading holds the moisture in, so that the cooked catfish is light and flaky—delightful! Ingredients: ½ stick butter or margarine, melted (I used margarine.) 2 tablespoons lemon juice ( I used reconstituted lemon juice from a jar.) 4 or 5 fresh catfish fillets (1 ½ pounds) 1 cup Italian-seasoned dry breadcrumbs Lemon wedges for garnish In a small, shallow bowl, combine ½ stick melted butter or margarine and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. In a second small, shallow bowl, place 1 cup of Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs. Dredge each piece of fish in the breadcrumbs, then dip in the butter mixture, and dredge again in the breadcrumbs. Place the breaded fish fillets on the rack of a broiler pan. (I cover mine with aluminum foil for easy clean-up; you can spray with cooking oil spray instead.) Broil the fish about 5 or 6 inches away from heat, with the oven door partially open, for about 10 minutes, or when fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Watch the broiling process carefully, as the breading can get too dark. If the breading darkens before the fish flakes, you may want to use a spatula and carefully turn each fillet over to brown the other side while the fish cooks completely. This fish will be very tender, so you will need to carefully transfer it to a serving platter when done. Garnish with lemon wedges, which may be squeezed over the top of the catfish before …
In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make Stewed Tomatoes. This is the time of year that we have an abundance of tomatoes and green peppers. This is a recipe that I created about 35 years ago to use our over-supply of vegetables, and it has turned out to be a very nice side dish or an addition to soups and stews. It is very light and also tasty, and you can control the ingredients to keep it natural and healthy. It is also great for dieters. Ingredients: 1 ½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil ½ cup green bell pepper, chopped ½ cup onion, chopped ½ cup celery, chopped 1 tablespoon cornstarch 4 cups tomatoes (any variety), peeled and coarsely chopped (I do not remove the seeds, but you may choose to do that. If you need a quick and easy way to peel tomatoes, please check my Quick Tip 75 on peeling tomatoes.) ½ teaspoon sugar ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon ground black pepper Drain 4 cups chopped tomatoes, pressing to get as much juice from them as possible, and place the juice in a measuring cup or small bowl. Set tomatoes and juice aside. In a large, deep skillet, place 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil. Add ½ cup chopped green pepper, ½ cup chopped onion, and ½ cup chopped celery. Saute vegetables in olive oil until crisp-tender, but not browned. Add 1 tablespoon cornstarch to reserved tomato juice. Mix thoroughly. Add tomato-cornstarch mixture to sautéed vegetable mixture. Stir quickly and completely to combine. Stir in ½ teaspoon sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon ground …
