Is anybody around here baking birthday cake? Huh?

Just asking...

 

[Mamid]

who needs a birthday for cake?

 

[Rambling Rose]

There is no necessity for either cake or a reason to eat cake. I was...ummmm...just asking.

 

[Mamid]

and I'm saying, go get your cake and eat it too.

I need an original, delicious, out-of-this-world food idea to take to the annual Superbowl party. Usually I bring chili-cause there's like a chili contest, but I want to bring something completely different. I thought maybe I'd fill up my beloved crock-pot with homemade hotwings, but that's not unique enough.

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I'm running out of time.

Hey, hon! I'm scurrying around trying to get ready for my trip, otherwise I'd gladly start digging through recipes.

However, Food Network has a whole section of Super Bowl party ideas. I'm sure you could find something unique there. Looks like there's LOTS of yummy stuff. I'm going to look through them myself when I get a chance.

I'm really struggling to find a simple recipe yielding good results. Has anyone here tried making them, and might you recommend a recipe? Pretty please?

I have a recipe for cranberry fruit bread that I used for muffins. But I am sorry to say all my cookbooks and personal recipes are in storage. Have you looked at Joy of Cooking? Their recipes are pretty basic with good results. And look at fruit bread recipes as well. Good luck!

I've searched several recipes online but they didn't get good reviews. I'm going to hold out a little longer and see if anyone here can recommend something they've tried themselves I'm concerned that the fruit bread recipes wont allow for the tartness the cranberries will contribute. The Cranberry Fruit Bread sounds yummy though! Bet it would be yummy, toasted... *salivating*

It is yummy toasted with butter! I made very good muffins with my Cranberry Fruit Bread recipe. I will be going to my storage unit this week to look for something else, if I find the recipe, I will send it to you. But I hope you will find something before then!
