I'm a little behind, but August's Recipe Club's theme was Wisconsin or Fair Foods! We celebrated food from Wisconsin, like cheese or cherries, or our favorite fair food, like cream puffs!
Sue S. made "Easy Chocolate Eclairs," a recipe she has been making for years. This is an easy and accessible way to make chocolate eclairs.
Trudy L. made "State Fair Cream Puffs, " a staple at the Wisconsin State Fair. It's an old recipe from the local paper. They look just as good as the ones you get at the fair!
Josh baked "Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Dotted Brownie." He entered this recipe at the Wisconsin State Fair and took 2nd place in the cookie dough bar category!
Don cooked "Zucchini Boats." Using fresh produce from a local farmers market, this is a creative and light dinner.
Margaret made "Corn Slaw." It's a recipe she got from her coworker and very easy to put together!
Mary A. cooked "Company Meatballs." It's a quick and easy recipe to through together in a slow cooker, especially when using frozen meatballs.
Anna made "Beer Cheese Spread." Another easy recipe that combines all the ingredients together on the stove top. It has some zing from the horseradish!
Sue R. made "Fruit Salad Americana," which she planned on entering at the Wisconsin State Fair this year.It's a fun and festive fruit salad!
Sue R. also baked "Ginger Pound Cake," which she also entered at the Wisconsin State Fair this year. She took 2nd place in the pound cake category!
Margene baked "Cherry Pie Bars." Cherries are grown in Wisconsin so a delicious cherry treat is perfect for this theme!
Marie baked "Pound Cake." This is a recipe she has been making from the 1976 Wisconsin State Fair cookbook.
Karen brought "Pear, Havarti, and Fig Bites." Wisconsin is known for it's cheese, so a cheese appetizer is perfect!
Mary B. brought her "Mom's Beer Bread" recipe. It only takes an hour and any beer can be used. She used MGD.
I made "Cherry Cookie Bars." The dough has some orange zest and juice in it which brightens up the flavor, but I made them the day before and They were a little soggy!
There were many great recipes shared and more to try next time! Getting hungry? Join us September 6 at 6:30pm at Franklin Public Library. The theme is App Attack--Bring your favorite appetizer or small bite to share.
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!
