The LAST Name Meal--April 5, 2018

April's Recipe Club theme was a little more creative...The LAST Name Meal! For this theme, patrons make a dish the begins with the first letter of their last name!

Bill S. brought "Salsa," a dish he has been making for many years, ever since he got his Salsa Maker at the Wisconsin State Fair!

Sue S. brought "Spicy Island Shrimp." This recipe lists a good variety and blend of spices!

Anna cooked "Ratatouille." It's a lot of work cutting the vegetables! But it's a great dish to customize with veggies that you like! Serve it warm or at room temperature.

My last name starts with "B" so I brought "Broccoli Salad with Yogurt Dressing." I don't like mayo but I love broccoli and wanted to make a broccoli salad that uses yogurt instead! There's maple syrup in the dressing that sweetens it up, too!

Fred W. brought Rose Mary's "WALECKI Wonderful Waldorf Chix Salad." Rose Mary did most of the work, but Fred cut and washed the apples and grapes! 

Pat R. missed the pie meeting and contributed one this time! She made a "Reuben Pizza." It had the flavors of a Reuben, and she added caraway seeds!

Mary A. made "Artichoke Dip." She uses a spinach dip seasoning and garlic powder. And it's best to serve this appetizer warm!

Cherryl P. made "Cheesy Potatoes." A classic recipe also known as "Funeral Potatoes," has all the comforts we love--cheese, hash browns, and a crunchy topping!

Jan L. brought "Lemon Cream Torte." This was a recipe her mother used to make!

Trudy C. made "Amazing Corn Cake." This tasty cake uses canned cream corn, raisins, and nuts and has a creamy caramel frosting!

Don brought "Apple Sharlotka." It's a very easy cake to make, and the apples are the star in this cake!

Margene M. cooked "Meatballs and Tomato Sauce." These are her family recipes, and she even uses fresh tomatoes from her garden!

Marie baked "Walnut Coffee Cake." This is an old recipe from her mother's friend that her mom made a lot! So it must be good!

Mary W. made "Waldorf Salad," a classic recipe and she added a tablespoon of Miracle Whip, too!

Helen L. baked "Lemon Bars." This classic treat had bright, lemon flavor!

Everyone was very creative with finding recipes that fit their last name! Next month will be a lot easier. It's brunch themed!

There were many great recipes shared and more to try next time! Getting hungry? Join us May 3 at 6:30pm at Franklin Public Library. The theme is Best Brunch—Wake-up your evening with breakfast and brunch recipes.
