Dollars to Donuts Cookbook

by Heather on January 23, 2010

I hoped to have this to you yesterday but unfortunately I suffer from migraines and I started the day with meetings and then poof it hit.  I really wanted to share this yesterday but a day late is still a great thing. 

Dawn Welch (with Raquel Pelzel) wrote the Dollar to Donuts Comfort Food & Kitchen Wisdom from Route 66′s Landmark Rock Cafe.   As you can see the title is quite long but it is definately descriptive.  This cookbook has so many great recipes that I am not sure which one to share with you.  It also has a lot of “kitchen wisdom” or tips throughout the book. 

I am wishing it was spring about now with all the snow and rain and ice we have had so I think I am going to share an easy reminds me of spring recipe.

Strawberry Dessert Soup

Serves 6 ($1.15 per serving)

1 bag (1 pound) frozen and partially thawed strawberries with juices

2 cups sour cream

3/4 cup confectioners sugar

1 tablespoon grenadine syrup

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup half & half + 2 tablespoons (for serving)

Halve the strawberries while still partially frozen and place them in a large bowl.  Add the sour cream and gently mix together with the strawberries, using a rubber spatula, until well combined.  Stir in the sugar, grenadine, and vanilla, then add the 1/4 cup half & half and stir to blend.  Chill for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours in a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid.  Shake vigorously before dividing among 6 bowls.  Drizzle a little of the remaining 2 tablespoons half & half over each bowl, swirl it in, and serve.

There are several recipes in here which are likely to be new to most people.  Each recipe lists servings, cost per recipe and per person.  You will also find a tip or hint if it applies to the recipe.  The only drawback I can find is that there is no nutritional information for each recipe.  The cookbook also offers the URL www.myd2d.com which will offer menu plans and several recipes from the book.

I was thinking about the buffalo burger, but the alligator burger would definitely be a first.
