Active vs. Fast-Rising Yeast
My recipe calls for fast-rising yeast. I have active dry yeast. Can I use it, and how? —Steve
Steve, yes absolutely, you can use active dry yeast in place of fast-rising yeast. It just might take your dough a little longer to rise. Happy baking!

QuestionI have the old mail order collection of Grandma's Kitchen. My absolute favorite cookie card, Candy Bar Cookies, has gone missing at cookie season. I've looked everywhere and cannot find it. I really need a replacement card, I'm more than willing to buy it! --SamanthaMarch 2012

QuestionI am looking for the chicken stroganoff recipe. It is so good, like fried chicken on noodles. I misplaced the original card I received, and when I got your recent postcard, that was the first recipe my wife and I thought of. Please let me know if it is available. Thank you. --ChuckMarch 2012

Question
Please add a couple macaroni salad recipes. I recently had one that was simply delicious, and prior to that I had not been a fan. It seemed to have a taste of onion, but not too overpowering, a smattering of green pepper finely chopped, celery, green peas, a bit of finely diced carrots (not quite shredded, but very small) and hard boiled egg. The dressing was mayo based rather than miracle whip, but it had some spices I did not readily identify, but it was wonderful. Thx.
