PARADE brings us...'dash'
Celebrate Valentine's Day (with chocolate griddle cakes!) and American Heart Month (with delicious, healthy recipes) with dash! In addition to giving you sweets for your "sweetie", this issue marks the first collaboration with Condé Nast Publications' Bon Appétit, Epicurous.com and Gourmet Magazine.

*******************************
Here’s a quick peak at the February issue of dash:
Love It! A breakfast staple gets a Valentine’s makeover: Chocolate griddle cakes: Three delicious toppings will give this treat an even more lovin’ feeling, whether for couple time or kid-friendly fun (fruit slices, heavy cream and chocolate, ice cream).
Dinner in a dash
Easy Meals Under $12 includes recipes for Pasta with Peas and Ham; Potato, Bacon, and Sour Cream Frittata; Roast Chicken & Root Vegetables
Shop Smart:
Olive Oil is “much more than a salad and sauce go-to. Flavorful new oils can now be used in your favorite baked goods,” says dash. Crisco’s Cooking Spray is ranked “best” for its even coverage. Also featured: Bertolli Classico, Lucini Extra Virgin and Annie’s Roasted Garlic Flavored. Check out our recipe for a “Quickie Vinaigrette”.
Dashboard: Our Monthly Q&A Feature
Is there a real difference between salted and unsalted butter? What’s an easy, festive Oscar snack (sugar & spice popcorn!)? Are the benefits of whole grains the same whether cooked or raw?
Recipe of the Month by Giada De Laurentiis: Almond Muffins
No-Fuss Book Club Bites: Pear Wedges with Prosciutto & Mint
How to...Make Pears Kid-Friendly (with ham and cheese on crackers, in a grilled cheese sandwich, dipped in yogurt)
This Dessert Rules! Mini King Cakes—they’re a traditional Mardi Gras treat. A plastic trinket is slid inside after baking. Whoever finds it has to bring next year’s cake!
