Shortcut Meals--November 1, 2018

November's Recipe Club theme focused on quick cooking, especially using premade ingredients to make cooking faster. Here are some of the variety of recipes that were brought to the meeting!

Mary B. made "Pigs in a Blanket," which brought everyone back to their childhood. It's really easy. It's a tiny hotdog wrapped in a crescent roll and baked!

Rose Mary and Fred brought "Chinese Braised Short Ribs." Using a premixed 5-spice blend helps make this recipe go faster.

Rose Mary and Fred also brought "Skor Cake." Like a poke cake, boxed cake mix and cool whip are used to make a tasty treat!

Don brought  a "New Orleans Hash." This hot dish uses frozen hash browns, so you don't have to grate all those potatoes!

Pat R. brought "Jiffy Cornbread with Creamed Corn." Using canned corn and corn bread mix, it is really quick and easy to throw together.

Roger made "Taco Bean Soup." Many canned means and veggies were used to make this quick and easy soup.

Margene baked"Chocolate Brownie Cake." This cake combines a cake AND brownie mix that has been doctored up! Make a ganache to put on top and sprinkle on some powdered sugar for a chocolaty, decadent dessert!

Marie baked "Pumpkin Bread." Canned pumpkin makes this a quick and easy bread to make!

Pat D. baked "Apple Dumplings." Crescent rolls are used to make these delicious treats faster!

Sue R. brought "Al Pastor Street Tacos." She used a skillet sauce starter to make these tacos fast!

Josh made "Flat Turtle Pie." Refrigerated pie dough, chocolate shell, and caramel sauce help make this a quick treat!

I made "Slow Cooker Risotto with Butternut Squash and Goat Cheese." I used precut butternut squash to help make this dish go a little faster.

There were many great recipes shared and more to try next time! Getting hungry? Join us December 6 at 6:30pm at Franklin Public Library. The theme is Holiday Party--Celebrate the holidays with your favorite, festive holiday dish!

All you have to do to join is cook a dish from the monthly theme, and bring the dish and the recipe to the meeting! It's as easy as pie! See you soon!
