Hugs to you!! Banana cream pie is very easy.

1 store-bought pie shell (either from the frozen section or a graham cracker crust)
banana pudding mix
3 or 4 bananas
Cool Whip

Heat oven for 375. "Toast" your pie shell for 10 minutes. Let shell cool. After it cools, slice your bananas and put them in the bottom of the shell. Follow pudding mix directions from box and add on top of bananas. Put whipped cream on top.

Off the top of my head

HTH!!

Florabundance, man, I was in such a hurry, also flour of course

My side hurts from laughing! This is soooo funny rbella...because I can relate. I don't/can't cook either

nor do I care to.

"I always supply the alcohol, why the change, beyotches?"

OMG...

Just pick something yummy up at a great bakery & put it in your dish, then you can get the credit. Or, make something really bad & then you can go back to bringing the alcohol again.

Or, you can just come to my house...& we'll just drink alcohol

 

[rbella]

My God!!! You are all cooking geniuses! Thank you very much. I will try one of these fo sho. Whichever one uses the least ingredients and doesn't involve a lot of stirring or anything like that. Seriously, I'm that bad. My husband won't even eat my toast and I'm not joking.

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*

Totally be pussing out. My poor husband was raised in a family of cooks and they always make fun of how much his life must suck being married to me. Isn't that kind? They are kidding, of course, they actually love me, but it still gets old. I know he would be so happy if I could successfully prepare an item and present it at Thanksgiving.

He'd be even more proud if they ate it without looking like they wanted to either puke or die laughing. For once, I would like them to think I am "wife material". As ridiculous as that sounds, it is true. He doesn't care, but I do and I want them to think he is well taken care of. Which he is not because I neither cook nor clean nor do the laundry. But, I do love him a lot.....I do pick up his dry cleaning on occasion.

Ok, your last comment is hysterical

I know, right????? Why the change in plans all of the sudden? What the hell? Trust me, these are farm people and they will sure as hell know if I bring something from a bakery. I swear to God they raise their own turkeys and their eggs come from their own chickens. I totally don't fit in.

And, to make it worse, my MOTHER was raised on a farm and by a mother who could cook AWESOME. However, my mom can't cook for shit so she never taught me. Seriously, she thought she was the bomb with grilled cheese. My husband HATES eating at her house. It is so sad because all her meals are covered in a layer of black burnt crust that we have to peel off to get the the insides....

I will STILL bring the alcohol. It will numb my pain....

 

[hawaii02]

The alcohol is always more fun anyway

 

[AdlersMommy22]

Id say---- drink alcohol while your making your dish..

then just keep drinking until you get there.

then if they bitch about your cooking, puke on them.

just throwin that out there. do with it what you will

 

[Beauty Mark]

Why can't he do the baking? Just a thought... It makes you no less of a wife/person if you can't bake.

A pumpkin pie with canned pumpkin and store bought crust shouldn't be too hard. I don't have a recipe this moment, but any can of Libby's pumpkin should have one.

Another suggestion would be if you have a friend who bakes, invite her/him over to help.

Good luck!

 

[rbella]

^^^Him baking would be a nightmare. He asked me where the bowls were located the other day. He is worse than me. Seriously, we are sad. If he could, he would do it in a heartbeat, but we have a better shot because I can at least identify where the oven is located.

 

[SkylarV217]

I have an easy super good desert you can make ( NO BAKING ) and its ALWAYS gone no mater where we take it

all you need are

oreos
milk
choc pudding
cool whip


soak enough oreos in milk to cover the bottom of your dish pan what ever ( we use the disposable aluminum ones ( cause people eat that much) the make your choc pudding and put it on top then cover with cool whip and the crumble the rest of the oreos on top... Its so easy and so good ...

Good luck hun =D

 

[Krasevayadancer]

Awww, I feel for ya. It stinks when things like this come out of nowhere. I can only imagine how much anxiety this products.

I am wracking my brain for something quick, easy, and tasty. Healthy doesn't hurt either

Does it have to be baked? An ambrosia fruit salad doesn't involve any cooking and it tastes great! Just cut up fruits of your choice, add some light sour cream and mini mallows and you are good to go! Heck, you can even used can fruit (just drain the syrup/juice)

I always get lots of compliments on that!

I will think of some more ideas, while I do best get started on the drinking party (elegant- that is for you too

)

 

[rbella]

I plan on starting the imbibing tonight.

 

[jdechant]

Lol...Rbella!! Too funny...ok..don't worry, cause I am not that good of a cook either...I sometimes THINK I am ..but then I burn it..or forget to add an ingredient..lol..Ok..so this is a REALLY easy recipe...

-Buy a box of spice cake mix
-Buy Lots of Cool whip...(maybe two containers)
-Butterscotch pudding (maybe make two boxes)

After the cake is cooked and has cooled, you cut the cake into smaller cubes (about 2 inches by 2 inches)
Layer the cake, pudding and cool whip to make a "trifle" ...I think thats the right word...to make it even prettier, you can use a see through bowl so that you can see the layers....taaa daaa...Thanksgivingish enough, right?? You could also sprinkle on some butterscotch chips if you want on top...or Skor chocolate bar..lol..I dont know if its called skor in the states though..does the chocolate bar heath sound right?? When I was in vegas, they had one like that that was the same thing as canada's "skor" bar...just break it up and sprinkle it on top...(the whip cream should be the last thing on top)

Good Luck!! Let us know how your dessert turns out!!!

 

[blindpassion]

pfttt rbella rocks the house no matter what her cooking skills are.
BAKING IS HARD! don't even get down on yourself
I cant bake anything
I can cook but I cannot bake for the liffee of me.

But you and I can apply a mean fluidline and crease color

ill tell you that much.
take that family in law.

 

[Krasevayadancer]

Ohhh, how about i come over to visit with my boyfriend the trained chef? All I do with him as cook and we are both really good at it :-D

He can bake for you while we drink till we are silly! He once made me an amazing buttercream cake.

 

[CantAffordMAC]

I love you...way too much, I think.

Good luck with this. My sugestion: Wear that head thing u wore in ur recent FOTD,slap on some lashes, and they will be too stunned to even notice ur cooking.

 

[MACATTAK]

This is super easy & delicious! No bake cheesecake!

1 graham cracker crust
1 tub cool whip (8 oz)
cream cheese (8 oz, softened)
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Cream softened cream cheese (using a beater). Gradually add sugar. Add vanilla (whip until fluffy). Fold in cool whip. Pour into crust & let sit in the fridge for a few hours.

Before serving I always add either fresh strawberries, or if you can't find those the frozen strawberries will work, so will blueberries. Good luck on whatever you choose to make!

 

[stv578]

Rbella, I'm so sorry your husband hasn't learned yet. If you wanted to make something, you would offer, right?!

I can't think of anything right now, but there are definitely some recipes out there that are relatively easy and still taste good. This is for thursday, right? I'm on it and you will make your husband proud (and look good too!).

 

[MsButterfli]

whatever i'd bring i WOULDNT eat it just to mess with them, and if they asked why i wasnt eating I'd be like "i forgot the antidote" lol sorry im just evil, id go with a big ass pan of Stouffers Lasagne with extra mozzarella on top and call it a day
