Holiday Dishes that Travel!
It’s the beginning of the holiday season and all the traditional eats are right around
the corner. If you’re traveling and volunteered (or were volunteered by someone else)
to bring your best dish, did you consider what the travel time can do to your recipe?
Or whether there will be room in the oven to cook or reheat your tasty tidbits once
you arrive? Don’t let holiday travel throw a wrench into what might otherwise be
described as nothing short of divine. A tweak here and there may be all your favorite
recipe needs. For example, if a hard brake on the way to last year’s family gathering
sent your infamous cherry pie toward destinations unknown, leaving you to arrive
empty-handed, why not try something a little safer this year?
Try this instead – make cherry pie bars.
Cherry pie bars? Yes, they’re a thing. They’re delicious and perfectly preportioned.
If you don’t know where to start, TheCountryCook.net has a delicious recipe that you
can make the night before. Then, package them up in an airtight container that can
be safely stored away for a safe arrival at your destination. (One of the best parts of
this recipe is you can make them with any number of seasonal fillings – pumpkin,
cherry, apple, blueberry, pecan … the list goes on!)
