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

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

QuestionI was wondering if you could add the thumbprint cookies recipe to the site. I had it in my recipe box but it seems to have gone missing, the good recipes always do. I made them 2 years ago as Christmas presents for the homeless and would really like to make them for my kids this year. I remember the filling being preserves and they were so good. Thanks so much! --Jamie Hi Betty. I had a box of your recipes that my mother gave me when I married. Unfortunately, I lost one of my favorites: the thumbprint cookies. It was a sugar cookie with preserves in center. Can you please post that one or send it? Thank you. --KristinaMarch 2012

Question
How do I make cookies in Nevada??! I live in what is considered high altitude (4200-4300 ft above sea level) and can't seem to get my cookies to rise at all. Quite frankly, I couldn't do it in Oregon either. I have fresh baking powder and baking soda, and the same cookie recipe my family has been using for generations. I just can't get them to rise. Great for hockey pucks though!
