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 Classic Waldorf Salad. This salad was originally created in 1893 at the Waldorf Hotel (later to become the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel). The basics of this salad were apples, celery, and mayonnaise at the beginning. Later, English walnuts were added, and now there are many versions of Waldorf Salad. I add some lemon juice, sugar, salt, and whipped cream for a gorgeous, luscious salad or dessert. Ingredients: 2 cups diced red apples (I used red delicious apples.) 1 cup 1-inch julienne celery sticks 1/2 cup broken English walnuts 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice 1 tablespoon sugar dash of salt 1/2 cup whipping cream, whipped Combine, 2 cups diced apple, 1 cup chopped celery, and 1/2 cup broken English walnuts in a nice serving bowl. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, blend 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon sugar, and a dash of salt. Set aside. Whip 1/2 cup whipping cream. Fold into the mayonnaise mixture. Fold dressing into Waldorf Salad. You may use this as a salad or as a dessert. Just place a serving in a salad bowl or on a dessert dish. It’s lovely, and tasty! I hope you like this one!

In this video, Betty demonstrates a Brown Sugar Glazed Ham recipe, dating back to her college days (in the ’60′s). Being a starving student, Betty almost always had breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the university cafeteria. One item that was served repeatedly was Glazed Ham. Betty (using her ever-analyzing food talents) created the following recipe as an imitation of the ham served in the cafeteria, and she has continued to make it throughout her 39 (almost 40!) years of marriage. Ingredients: 1 canned ham (I used Hormel brand, 5 pounds. You may use any brand, and reduce it to 3 pounds, if desired.) 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed 2 tablespoons prepared mustard 1 teaspoon orange juice (You may use another flavor of juice or a juice drink.) Remove the canned ham from the container and place in a crock pot on low for 6 to 8 hours. You may need to cut it into two pieces to get it to fit in the crock pot. When you are ready to put your Brown Sugar Glazed Ham recipe together, remove the ham from the crock pot, and place it on a tray for slicing. Use a kitchen knife, slicer, or electric knife to slice the ham into equal pieces. You may decide to leave some of the ham unglazed for guests who prefer to skip the brown sugar flavor. In a small bowl, mix 1 cup of firmly packed brown sugar with 2 tablespoons of prepared mustard. Use about 1 teaspoon of orange juice to get them to combine. Now spread the tops and bottoms of your sliced ham and place them in an appropriately-sized …

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make hearty and delicious Comforting Homemade Vegetable Beef Soup. It is slow cooked with steak cubes and tasty vegetables and spices. It is made in such a way as to make it the lowest fat version of soup that has meat in it. Ingredients: 2 pounds lean beef cubes, trimmed of fat (I used 1 pound of eye of round steak and 1 pound of top sirloin steak.) 1 to 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon salt 3 quarts (12 cups water) 3 cups tomato juice 2/3 of an 8-oz. can tomato sauce 3 bay leaves 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 onion, chopped 3 cups mixed vegetables (I used a 16-oz. package of frozen vegetable soup starter. If you cannot find this, just use frozen mixed vegetables, or drained Veg-all, or freshly chopped vegetables of your choice.) 1 teaspoon chili powder 6 additional cups water saltine crackers, for serving (I used fat-free saltine crackers.) Chop 2 pounds of lean beef into cubes. (I prefer to use steak, because it is less fatty than stew meat.) Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil in a deep skillet. Brown the beef cubes in the oil, until there is no pink on the outside. Pour 3 quarts (12 cups) water into a large pot. Add 1 tablespoon of salt, and then add the browned beef cubes. Cook, uncovered, over low heat for about 3 hours. Most of the liquid will evaporate or be absorbed by the meat. (you might want to check the meat while it is cooking, to make sure it doesn’t boil dry …

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make her Sun-Kissed Key Lime Pie. It is made in a traditional fashion with key lime juice, eggs, and sweetened condensed milk. It is tart and tangy, but sweet and gorgeous! Ingredients: 9-inch graham cracker crust 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk 3 egg yolks—whites not needed 1/2 cup key lime juice (Use fresh squeezed yellow key limes or bottled key lime juice.

Pour filling into a 9-inch graham cracker crust, and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. (If the crust is getting too brown, you may remove the pie from the oven after about 12 or 13 minutes.) Allow the baked pie to stand at room temperature for about 10 minutes or more before refrigerating. Chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours. When chilled, top with whipped topping, and garnish with fresh key lime slices. Cover with plastic wrap, and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. (Make a tent of the plastic wrap, as described in Quick Tip 14, to protect the topping.) This is a quick and easy dessert to make, and is one that almost everyone loves! Its simple and inexpensive enough for everyday, but elegant enough for guests you want to impress!!!
