Pink Recipe W/Out Strawberries for a Show..

[Chef Duck]

Hello,
Does anyone have a pink recipe that can be done at a show that doesn't have strawberries? The pink lemonade ones I've seen seem like they would take too long for a show.

Thanks!
Cheryl

There's a recipe in files for Confetti Pasta Salad, and in the "It's Good For You" Cookbook is a recipe for Roasted Garlic & Red Pepper Dip with Pita Chips. You can also do something like the Cool Veggie Pizza, and add a few drops of red food coloring to the cream cheese mixture.

The bacon, linguine and tomato toss is pink tinged and pretty quick to put together if you have the bacon pre-cooked before the show. You could precook the pasta once you get to the host's house, and just leave it in the strainer and rinse when you are ready for it.

On the other hand, I found the taste pretty blah. It needed some acid or something to brighten up the flavors.

I am also doing the pink cupcakes (using food coloring) and the raspberry champagne cake. You could also do jello with the pink whipped topping to serve in the dessert glasses.

Would you mind sharing the recipe for the raspberry champagne cake?

I am making the pink lemonade bars before the show and taking them. I think I uploaded a file with a bunch of pink HWC recipes awhile back ...

I made a pink fluff dessert in the trifle bowl that everyone loved. One container of cool whip, one container of cottage cheese, one can of cherry pie filling, and fresh pineapple cut into tidbits. mmmmm mmmmmm it is yummy!

pink lemonade dessert squares were in a Season's Best several years ago.

I will post it this evening. I don't have the dessert cookbook with me at work.

You could always make a trifle layered with pink stuff....white cake or angel food cake (mixed w/ food coloring), cheesecake pudding and cool whip, and layer with cherries? That way its still pretty and pink but no strawberries in site! hehehe!

Thanks for all the tips. I think I'm going w/the trifle and use rasberries instead of the strawberries. I'm a trifle gal all the way.

Thanks!!
