What is the common denominator among recipes for Easy Cheesecake, Belgian Cheesecake, Scrapple, and Orange Soda Pop Cake?

Hmmmm. Three are desserts, but that leaves out Scrapple, which is a cornmeal/meat mixture that is chilled, sliced and fried, then served for breakfast. Perhaps they’re all breakfast foods?

No, not even close. The only thing these recipes have in common is Recipe Box and our wonderful community of talented, passionate cooks. Four people sent in requests, and now they have their answers, along with advice, comments and information from their fellow Recipe Box readers.

How does it work, you ask? Easy-peasy, as they say.

If you’re looking for a recipe – a long-lost family favorite, one of Grandma’s specialties that you remember enjoying as a child, a wonderful dish from the last church potluck, or a restaurant favorite – send in a request, including all the information you can remember about the recipe, your name, full mailing address, and phone number. It works great if you can email it all to me, pretty please.

As there is space, the request is included in the Help Wanted box located at the end of this article.We publish only your name, city and state. The phone number is for fact-checking, and the mailing address is so we can eventually send all of the recipe responses directly to you.
