Get the latest Spring flavored recipes from Group Recipes. http://www.grouprecipes.com/tag/spring I made my dad one of his favourite Christmas confections - fruitcake - out of another one of his favourites - home made mincemeat! This sucker took up a whole 10" springform with barely any room to spare, and clocked in at just over 6 lbs. It's a combination of two recipes from historic Toronto Star clipouts! Mizz R, if you're wondering by the way, is me! The mincemeat recipe is also on this site: http://www.grouprecipes.com/107940/mizz-rs-big-bad-mincemeat.html http://www.grouprecipes.com/107941/mizz-rs-big-bad-christmas-cake.html This was my invention for my friend Magdelena's 15 year work anniversary party. It was a total secret, but it combined two of her favourite flavours - chocolate and banana - and added the benefit of a creamy peanut butter filling and a fudgy mocha frosting! The recipe makes a lot of cake - 2 10" springforms! - so plan accordingly. http://www.grouprecipes.com/92456/banana-marble-cake.html Adapted from Bryanna Clark Grogan to better fit a 9x13" pan. She notes to use shiny pans, I don't have any like that so I used my old dingy ones and they worked fine. It's a great, light and fluffy cake that is perfect unfrosted for summer BBQs or dolled up for tea. http://www.grouprecipes.com/92238/vegan-lemon-sheet-cake.html When Spring finally arrives here is a great first taste from the garden http://www.grouprecipes.com/92105/savory-spring-scones.html This pound-style cake made up the top layer of my dad's "Neopolitan Ice Cream" birthday cake this year. I'm a huge fan of Lorann's flavour extracts, I usually find them at Bulk Barn but candy-making suppliers will have them too. If they're in season, substitute an equal amount of pureed fresh strawberries with 1/2 tbsp sugar for the jam. This makes one (thick) layer. http://www.grouprecipes.com/91354/rich-strawberry-jam-cake.html GREAT SIDE FOR RIBEYES,PORKCHOPS,FISH! http://www.grouprecipes.com/91011/fried-asparagus.html This is Light and Yummy! http://www.grouprecipes.com/90817/fresh-fruit-spring-punch.html Love this appetizer it is most different than most spring roll fillings but delish!!!........................ courtesy of Davio’s northern Italian steakhouse in Philadelphia http://www.grouprecipes.com/90755/philly-cheesesteak-spring-roll.html Classic spring flavors of asparagus,egg and lemon combine in this wonderful salad. You can use parmesan cheese in place of pecorino if you like. http://www.grouprecipes.com/90606/roasted-asparagus-salad-with-pecorino-and-lemon-and-olive-oil.html My mom's birthday choice this year, as a homage to the WDW trip we didn't take! This is a dense, moist, intensely rich chocolate cake with the ever popular addition of Guinness for body and depth of flavour. Filled with a cinnamon-laced cream cheese icing before being glazed with a sinfully rich ganache, a tiny slice will satisfy for sure. Good thing that the flavour gets better with age! Use full-fat, high-quality ingredients with this recipe, though - you will certainly notice! http://www.grouprecipes.com/90039/st-pattys-cake.html
