Betty: Can you please add the recipe for Nana’s Banana Bread to this site? I received it on a recipe card some years ago and would like to send it to some friends by E-mail. The recipe is a delicious one.

Question
Hi Denise,
My goodness, I didn’t realize there are so many people allergic to cinnamon! I had this very question a couple of weeks ago, but about Cinnamon-less Apple Pie. The advice there holds true for pumpkin pie as well: You can substitute another spice (like nutmeg or allspice), or simply omit the cinnamon.
And if you haven't finalized your menu yet, you might want to browse all my Thanksgiving Recipes!My boyfriend is allergic to cinnamon and he wants pumpkin pie. What can I use instead of cinnamon?

Question
Back in 2005, I received your cards; they were my first exposure to cooking from scratch and I still use some of the recipes now. One of my favourite recipes–and one that I’ve shared among many friends and family members because it is so good–was your chicken parmigiana recipe. It had a buttery cracker (like Club brand or similar) coating and mozzarella slices melted over it. It was quick, easy, and amazing. I no longer have the card and was disappointed to find that it isn’t among your collection. Though I’ve long since had it memorized, I had hoped to see it among the others and know that other families were enjoying it as much as mine does today.

QuestionHi Betty, A long time ago my daughter gave me a card with a delicious recipe for cinnamon rolls. I lost it and I'm always dreaming about baking such great rolls again. This recipe came from your kitchen. I would love to have it again. Thanks for such awesome recipes. --MariaMarch 2012

Question
I have to make cut-out cookies for a wedding and decorate them like penguins. Black icing is so hard to keep a true black. What type of icing would you recommend? Royal, quick pour, fondant or something else? And how do I keep the black as black as when I first make it? –Kathy

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
