Question
Dear Grandma Betty: I enjoy receiving your e-mail recipes very much! However, these days, people such as myself are interested in the calorie and nutrition counts of foods, including sugars, fats (especially trans-fats), and sodium levels. I only eat what I need nowadays, to my displeasure. Nevertheless, your Sunday Waffles recipe sounds delicious! Could you not introduce a good tasting recipe with less sodium and saturated fat (butter)? I leave substitute suggestions to you since you are our chef. THANK YOU! Sincerely,
—Bill

Question
Back in the 1990′s I collected Easy Everyday Cooking recipe cards. There was a recipe for ‘cheesy chicken roll-ups,’ with pounded chicken breasts stuffed with spinich, and I think ricotta & mozzarella. I secured them with toothpicks and remember browning in skillet, after that my mind goes blank. There was a cheese sauce that was poured over the stuffed rolled breasts baked in the oven. I’ve been looking for this recipe for almost 5 years, since noticing that it walked off somewhere. Can you help?

Question
Hi Betty,
I think you would be really good at making a big pan of homemade macaroni and cheese. I love the kind from the box on the stove, but I used to live at home with my parents, and my mom always made her homemade macaroni and cheese. So I need a recipe, because I don't have hers. Thanks.

Question
Dear Betty,
Could you find me a good, low-fat zucchini bread recipe that will work at Mile High altitude? We cut back to one plant this year but we've still got so much zucchini that I fear my granite counter tops will cave under the weight. (P.S. Love that white hair!)

QuestionDear Betty, I frequently see "baking soda" as an ingredient in many baked goods recipes. Why is this? Is it really necessary? In addition, salt may be optional. If a person is attempting to reduce her/his SODIUM intake can't she/he do without either or both ingredients without really affecting the outcome/taste of the baked good(s)? Thank you and happy holidays! Sincerely, BillMarch 2012
