MINIMIZE PERSPIRATION...MAXIMIZE INSPIRATION!
Today’s DoAhead Dining is a recipe for a simple (quick) variation of a raspberry/strawberry jello salad. It’s the perfect tangy, side-dish for your Turkey dinner! But before you scroll down for the debut of today’s recipe be sure to look over the “vintage” tips we feature this time of year! [Read more…]
This bad boy has coconut instead of cocoa and an added touch of cinnamon (unlike the Zucchini Cake recipe I shared earlier in the month.)
These bars not only make the tummy feel warm but they capture that perfect “fall feeling” for the last of the garden zucchini.
If you click here for your printable pdf and start peeling that zucchini you’ll be eating warm, gooey bars in about 60 minutes. That deserves a “Bam!”
Your DoAhead Friend,
These bars are delicious with a cream-cheese frosting but are just as tasty with a light sprinkle of powdered-sugar!
The DoAhead for this recipe is much like the zucchini cake. You can grate your zucchini and freeze it in advance. You can also bake the bars and freeze them.
Be sure to utilize the following thawing instructions so you don't end up with "mushy" bars!
1. remove the bars from storage, uncover and place on a cooling rack.
2. Lightly drape a tea towel over the top.
3. Once bars are fully thawed and there is no trace of condensation place them in airtight storage (a baggie or container.)
Last Spring I shared a fantabulous recipe from my amazing BIL for a Rhubarb Cake. In the event, you’re in need of another rhubarb option look no further than today’s recipe! It’s fast, easy and the perfect combination of sweet and tart! [Read more…]
I still remember how crazy life was when I lamented to my friend “I need a chocolate bar recipe that’s fast and easy.”
My kids were much smaller but each was headed a million directions— all at a million miles an hour. Of course, that didn’t stop the need for treats at school or a friends slumber party. A box mix is great in a pinch but sometimes one hankers for variety! [Read more…]
Two years ago we hosted a prom dinner for our daughter and her friends. The parents brought numerous tasty treats but the one that stood out to me was Ice Cream Sandwich Desert. The desert had me with “Hello—-I contain chocolate.”
I’ll throw in one disclaimer. This dish goes heavy on some seriously artificial ingredients. DoAhead Dining has never touted being an all-organic or “health food” link. HOWEVER, our tribe does practice moderation when it comes to “junk” in our diet. Between the ice cream cakes and artificial whip cream I’m afraid this dessert deserves a crown for it. Having said that, all things in moderation right? [Read more…]
