This might be something I might actually try! lol

Ingredients:
3/4 cup boiling water
1 1/2 cups chopped dates
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 large eggs
1 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions:
Heat oven to 350°F.

In a medium bowl, pour hot water over dates and butter. Stir and let the mix sit until lukewarm. In a food processor, puree 1/3 of the mix to make a paste. Stir it back into the bowl full of date mix. Add the brown sugar, molasses, vanilla, and eggs. Stir until combined.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the date mixture. Mix. Pour the batter into a butter-greased loaf pan.

Bake for 60 minutes or so; loaf is done when the top has risen. Remove the bread from the oven and cool it on a rack for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Caramel Cinammon Iced Coffee

Description:
Instead of coffee and dessert, try a dessert coffee. This easy-to-make iced coffee drink is a great way to end the meal. Toss in cinammon to the coffee grounds before brewing.

Ingredients:
6 tbs ground coffee
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup caramel dessert syrup

Directions:
Mix cinammon with coffee grounds, and brew. Once you’ve got your pot, mix in the caramel syrup, and chill in the fridge. Serve over ice cubes, with added milk or sugar to taste. The syrup makes this iced coffee pretty sweet as it is.

Jello Poke Cake

Description:
Just a basic cake out of the box but instead of using icing, it has a bit of summer coolness and can be refreshing and light as an after dinner dessert.



Ingredients:
1 box cake mix, any flavour desired
1 box jello gelatin, any flavour desired
Cool Whip

Directions:
Make cake according to instructions on box, putting it into a 9x13 pan**.
But don't take it out of the pan at all. You'll need to leave it in there.

When the cake is almost done, make the jello according to instructions on box and put into fridge to start the gelling process.

You will have to keep an eye on the jello in that it doesn't set too much. You don't want it too runny, but having it set totally doesn't quite work well either. You want the Jello just set enough that you can put it on the cake without soaking it or just sitting on top.

When the cake is cooled, take something round like the end of a small wooden spoon and poke holes into the top of the cake. All over, and at least an inch or so apart.
You can vary the depth of the holes but about an inch or so.

Pour the Jello into the top of the cake, and using a spoon or rubber spatula, spread the jello around and lightly press down so that some of the jello gets into the holes.

Pop the cake/jello into the fridge.

Before serving, you can either put the Cool Whip all over the top of the cake or just plop on top as you cut and serve.

Keep refrigerated.

**Instead of using a 9x13 pan, you can also use two smaller pans if you wish to have two different flavours of jello or if you're going over to a friends and wish to bring 'dessert'. Or layer them like in the picture, but I haven't tried that myself.
