Ep 85.5: July Bonus & Blue Ribbons

It's the fifth Monday of July, so Stefin and Andrea are up with a short and sweet bonus episode. Stefin thanks listener Laurin for her recommendation of Nigella Lawson's No-Churn Salted Caramel Ice Cream recipe, which she has now memorized, and Andrea shares that she can make a key ingredient, dulce de leche, in her Instant Pot! Stefin also shares several other no-churn delights from Good Housekeeping UK and Waitrose Food. 

Then it's on to a review of The View from Great Island's Lemon Crunch Bars, which Andrea loved "more than life itself!" Both hosts were enraptured by the zesty, creamy, sweet and tart filling, crunchy gingerbread crust, and the fact that the dessert not only was cool, but looked cool too! With such glowing reviews, do you wonder which of the July recipes will win their coveted Blue Ribbons?

In August, your Preheated hosts will be taking a few weeks of vacation, but never fear: They've prepared several Quick Bite episodes (covering everything from homemade jam to grilled desserts) to see you through the dog days of summer. Summer is also a great time to listen to any of the 85+ episodes you may have missed, and introduce a friend to the show and Facebook community. Full-length episodes will resume on September 3. 

Bake along with Stefin and Andrea in their baking Facebook group, Preheated. You can find links to recipes on their baking website www.preheatedpodcast.com, as well as on their Pinterest page. You can also follow the hosts on Twitter and Instagram, using handle preheatedpod. Join the fun!
