THE OFFICIAL RECIPEZAAR WITHDRAWAL PATCH

• Secure with first aid tape.
• Refrigerate unused portion until needed.
• Make a new patch twice a day.
• Place the new patch in a different location to avoid localized irritation.

HOMEMADE ZA'ATAR

Steps:

• Toast sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until just golden, about 3 to 5 minutes.
• Combine sesame seeds, thyme leaves, sumac, and salt in a bowl and stir until well combined.

THE ORIGINAL DONAIR FROM THE EAST COAST OF CANADA

Steps:

• In a bowl, thoroughly mix together the ground beef, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, and oregano. Pack the spiced meat into a thick loaf shape, cover, and let rest in the refrigerator overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place the meat loaf onto a baking sheet, and bake for 1 hour, flipping the loaf over halfway through cooking. Allow the meat loaf to cool so it holds together for slicing.
• Mix together the evaporated milk and white sugar in a bowl, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, and then add the vinegar by teaspoons, mixing together after each addition, to taste. Refrigerate the sauce until serving.
• Slice the meat loaf into 1/4-inch thick slices, and brown the slices in a skillet over medium heat until both sides are brown and crisp, about 5 minutes per side.
• Sprinkle the pita bread rounds with a little water, and press each onto a heated skillet to warm up.
• To serve, place several slices of meat into a warmed pita bread, and spoon about 2 tablespoons of sauce over the meat. Roll the pita bread into a cone shape, wrap in aluminum foil to keep the sauce from dripping out, and serve.

ZAAR'S DOWN!! OATMEAL CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
• Beat in eggs, sugar and vanilla.
• Sift together flour, baking soda and salt; blend into creamed mixture.
• Stir in rolled oats, coconut and chocolate chips.
• Drop teaspoons of batter 2 inches apart unto lightly greased baking sheet.
• (Cookies have a nicer appearnce when baked on a baking stone such as Pampered Chef) Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

THE ZAAR BAAR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325F; butter a 10 X 15 inch cookie sheet or baking pan and line with parchment paper.
• Cream butter and sugar in large bowl until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes); beat in eggs, one at a time; beat in milk powder and vanilla; add flour, baking powder, cinnamon, coriander and mix just until combined; mix in oats, nuts, coconut, apricots and raisins (the dough will be very stiff and you may have to get into this 'hands on' - I did).
• Press dough evenly into prepared pan; bake until top is dark golden-brown, 35-40 minutes; cool in pan on rack for 15 minutes; turn out of pan and peel off parchment paper; cool completely and cut into bars using a sharp, straight-bladed knife; do not attempt to cut until completely cool - you'll just get a mess.

WHY-I-JOINED-ZAAR CARROT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.
• Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon; make a well in the center and add sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla. Mix with wooden spoon until smooth.
• Stir in carrots, coconut, walnuts and pineapple. Pour into 9x13 inch pan and bake for about 45 minutes. Don't panic, the centre will sink a little.
• Allow to cool; when cool, ice the cake. You can certainly use your favourite cream cheese frosting to ice this cake, but the one I've included is highly recommended (I usually leave the cake in the 13x9 pan and just ice the top).
• To make the frosting: Cream the butter and cream cheese until smooth; add the icing sugar and beat until creamy.

DEVIL DOGS

Steps:

• Cream together butter and 1 cup sugar, add egg. Sift together 2 cups flour, cocoa, soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt and baking powder. Add vanilla and milk.
• Drop by tablespoon full onto ungreased cookie sheet and bake 7-8 minutes at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Cool completely and make sandwiches using following filling.
• To Make Filling: Combine 2 1/2 tablespoons flour and 1/2 cup milk and cook until it turns to thick paste. Cool completely.
• Cream together the 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup shortening, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Add cooled paste and beat until fluffy. (This will take awhile and if your paste is not completely cooled it will look curdled. ) I usually double this recipe for the filling.

ZAAR

Steps:

• Build over ice cubes in a highball glass.
