Oh rbella! I just want to give you a big hug! I know you're upset, but it's kind of a funny situation...the type sitcoms are built upon. I would totally watch the rbella show! And yes, your makeup will make their faces want to hide in shame.
We just need to find you a kickass recipe to make them shut their piehole.

Sorry to hear about that Rbella! Awww I would try your cooking/baking first at any rate! If you take time to watch measurements etc does it work? We should chat and Ill try and give you some funky easy recipes!
Okay on with the rest of my response:
Would you like a relatively easy recipe? I was reading your comments and thought of this recipe, I don't know if it can be really messed up (but forgive me if you were just wanted to vent, lol now here I am suggesting things) It is a pistachio pudding/cool whip/with a cookie type base.
Now I have to be heading off to work, but if you are interested, I will find the recipe tonight. I love it! Or otherwise, go and get some funky cupcakes (bought) but I recently tried these ones at Safeway (I'm sure there is something similar) that had regular white or choc cake, then funky icing ie mint, strawberry, banana etc) and they were a HUGE hit for a co-workers b-day when I brought them. My thing was, I didn't want to be the one to make something, bring it and have something retarded like a hair strand. Yuck, but sometimes it happens.
Ramble off. On to work now!

this is some funny shit.
sorry if it's not meant to be funny
you could always just go get some velveeta shells and cheese and put it in a ceramic bowl and add a little more cheese on top to make it appear as if you made it. or just get some cookie mix so all you have to do is add an egg and butter.
or...........
if you want to stop this trend from here on out, make something super nasty so that they don't ask you to make anything anymore. i made some cookies years ago with this crisco butter...... and not the yellow kind, the white kind and they tasted like straight lard. they were so freakin nasty but it kind of made my fam stop eating anything i made for a while.
whatever you decide i hope everything works out for ya!

I'm pretending they know about you not being a good cook here :
Bring an homemade pie you bought at the bakery, and just tell them : yeah I bought it at the store, you know I don't cook well...
I'd be soooooo anoyed about the fact that they still make the boring jokes (be carefull she'll poison you!)
Direct as I am, I'd tell them to stop making such bad jokes...

I can't cook either, so if I were you I would be stressed as hell!
However, I do make these pies every year that require NO COOKING AT ALL, are low sugar so my diabetic father can eat them (the reason I started making them in the first place) and the recipe is actually straight from Weight Watchers so no one can complain.
All you do is take on package of Sugar Free Jello of any flavor, two 6 oz containers of yogurt to match (or mix if you like) the jello you chose, a tub of Cool Whip lite and two premade graham cracker crusts.
You just mix the jello with a few tablespoons of HOT water to dissolve it, then mix it in with the yogurt and cool whip. Then you pour that mixture into the two crusts (enough to make two full pies) and put it into the refrigerator to set for a few hours. Voila! No cooking ... good for you ... and these are sooooo yummy!
My favorite is Cherry Lime ... use cherry jello and Key Lime pie yogurt. Ok ... now I am hungry. Hope that helps!
And don't worry about not knowing where to find stuff ... just ask the people that work at the store, that is why they are there.

2 words, Betty Crocker....those cake-in-a-boxes you see at your grocery store are soooo good. And very very easy. Technically it's homemade too. Good luck! Shit and if people are making jokes flat-out tell them 'Don't eat it then..'

Also, here is an exremely easy recipe too.
Ingridients:
Apples (4-5)
250 grams of sugar
250 grams of flour OF COURSE
3 eggs
Some cinnamon
(thats it!)
You just take the pan where you gonna bake it first and put some waxed paper inside, then put some butter so its easier to remove the further cake.
Then, cut apples into slices, so they are accurate, and put it in circles all over the bottom of the pan. Theu gotta look nice though down there.
After, you mix 250 grams of sugar, 250 grams of flour, and 3 eggs, and make dough from it. After its done, put this dough all over those apples. Done!
Then you bake at 180 degrees, but when you put in the oven it gotta be hot already. Bake about 20-30 mins.
And thats it! After you remove the cake you turn it upside down, so the apples are up (thats why we needed them to look nice). Put some sugar on it, and cinnamon. You're done!

These are called Pumpkin Spice-Chip Cookies. It looks intimidating, but these are seriously some of the easiest cookies I've ever made. And I never do the glaze; they are already sweet enough!
2 1/2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1/2 Teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1 1/2 Cups Granulated Sugar (this is just regular white sugar)
1/2 Cup Butter (Softened) (just put it in the microwave for about 15 seconds; if your microwave runs really 'strong', only 10 seconds. You want the butter soft, not liquid)
1 Cup Pumpkin (Canned or Fresh) (this is *NOT* canned pumpkin pie filling; just regular canned pumpkin. It will be right next to the canned PP filling in the baking aisle)
1 Large Egg
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract (*not* imitation vanilla; they will also be side by side on the spice aisle)
1/2 Cup Chocolate Chips
Glaze (recipe follows)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in medium bowl. Mix sugar and butter in a different large mixing bowl until well blended. Beat the pumpkin, egg, and vanilla extract into the sugar/butter bowl until smooth. Gradually beat in/add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin/sugar/butter bowl until smooth. Fold in (or lightly mix) the chocolate chips. Batter will have a thick consistency. Drop by over-filled round tablespoons (use a regular spoon) onto greased (use Pam spray or crisco) cookie sheet .
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until edges are firm (this means the middle of the cookies will still be jiggly or puffed a bit). Cool for a couple minutes (on the cookie sheet, after you take it out of the oven), and transfer to wire rack to cool completely before storing.
Glaze: Combine two cups powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons milk, 1 tablespoon melted (now you want liquid) butter, and one teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until smooth, and drizzle glaze over cookies. Enjoy!
I hope my extra instructions help!

Dude Pumpkin pie is like the easiest thing ever you mix the shit together - and dump it into a premade pie crust- totally totally easy. use Libby's recipe:
1 (9 inch) unbaked deep dish pie crust (I use the premade kind that is by the tubes of cinnamon rolls -- usually Pillsbury I think? I dunno- maroon box- has two crusts inside, all you have to do is unroll them and put them in a pie pan and c'est voila!)
3/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 eggs
1 (15 ounce) can LIBBY'S® 100% Pure Pumpkin
1 (12 fluid ounce) can NESTLE® CARNATION® Evaporated Milk
instead of the individual spices (ginger, cinnamon, cloves) you can use 2 1/2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie seasoning - McCormick makes it.
Preheat oven to 425 F.
Combine sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger and cloves in small bowl. Beat eggs lightly in large bowl. Stir in pumpkin and sugar-spice mixture. Gradually stir in evaporated milk. Pour into pie shell.
Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 F.; bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack for 2 hours. Serve immediately or refrigerate. (Do not freeze as this will cause the crust to separate from the filling.)
To be honest, you really can't eff it up- short of letting it turn into charcoal- even my sister can make this- and she had to call me to find out how to make boiled eggs.
I always mix cinnamon into the cool whip too, it tastes sooooo good.

Maybe I'm the odd one out here - but is there a reason you could not pick something up at a bakery or somesuch? Or would that be totally pussing out? I feel your pain - I have a cookie recipe that has become my holiday speciality, but in general I am a fair at best cook.
Why do holidays have to be things that can make a person crazed with guilt and fear and anxiety? It's not right.
*big hugs to you*
