Comfort Food--February 7, 2019

February's Recipe Club theme was Comfort Food, and we had some good options to choose from! Many of the dishes were childhood favorites.

Mary B. brought "Chicken Parmesan Casserole." She wanted to try something different and turned a classic dish into a casserole! 

Sue S. brought "Mac and Cheese." This comforting dish was a recipe she remembers her mother making and she tried to recreate it! 

Sue S. also finds comfort in delicious "Chocolate Chip Cookies." 

Sue R. made "Easy Mac & Cheese." She uses a thicker pasta and under-cooks it so it doesnt overcook during the rest of the cooking process. She also uses queso in this recipe!

Rose Mary and Fred brought "Scalloped Potatoes with Vegetables and Ham." Filled with creamy goodness, vegetables, and ham, this is a warm and comforting dish perfect for the long Wisconsin winter.

Rose Mary and Fred also brought "Chocolate Pecan Bars." Fred loves pecan pie and Rose Mary made these bars for him!

Pat R. made "Bread Pudding." Her mom used to make it when she was a kid, and so she made this comforting dish to share.

Roger made "Tater Tot Casserole." This type of dish is popular in the Midwest and is really easy to throw together!

Josh brought "Sloppy Joes." It's his wife's favorite dish that his mother-in-law makes! 

I brought "Creamy Butternut Squash-Apple Soup." Slightly sweet and savory, this soup will warm you up during the cold winter months.

There were many great recipes shared and more to try next time! Getting hungry? Join us March 7 at 6:30pm at Franklin Public Library. The theme is Casserole Cooking--Whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner, casseroles are filling for any meal of the day!
