Favorite Recipe or Cookbook--June 7, 2018

June's theme for Recipe Club was "Favorite Recipe or Cookbook." The options are limitless, and there were many classic and new dishes to try.

Edyta baked "Original Plum Torte" using blueberries instead, which gave it a beautiful purple color! Served with a side of homemade whipped cream.

Mary made "Grecian Chicken Breasts." Stuffed with cheese and spinach, this is a filling and delectable dinner option.

Trudy L. made "Sue's Taco Salad." Instead of ranch dressing, Trudy uses green goddess dressing and tops it with tortilla chips for a special crunch!

Margene made "Chicken Rice Casserole." She's been making this recipe for 46 years and her husband loves it! 

MArie baked "Sour Cream Banana Bars." Her favorite recipe comes from Gold Medal Flour's 100th Anniversary cookbook, and she has been making them for years!

Cherryl baked "Crescent Roll Danish," which she got from her hairdresser and has been making this recipe for years!

Jan made "Texas Trail Dip." This is a fun appetizer she got from her sister in Tulsa, which she received from her son in Houston!

Annette brought "Strawberry Delight Dessert." She got the recipe from a coworker, and it is a favorite recipe of her husband. 

Margaret made "Sunflower Crunch Salad." Found in a family cookbook, it was submitted by her cousin! It's a great side dish for the summertime.

Pat made "Rhubarb Crumble." This is a recipe similar to her mom's. It's not as light pink as she remembers, but it tastes great!

Mary B. made "Sour Cream Cucumbers." She has been tweaking this recipe a little each time trying to find the best way to make it. Sometimes she adds dill, too! 

Sue R. baked "Black Bottom Cupakes," which is a recipe from her mother. Her kids ask for it all the time, which means it must be amazing! It's a chocolate cupcake with a cream cheese filling.

I made "Chocolate-Tahini Banana Bread." I always have too many bananas laying around, and this is my go-to recipe for banana bread. It uses tahini (sesame seed paste) which gives it a nuttier flavor!
