Hi all,
In the family cook book there was a recipe for picnic cake by Pat Nelson that I took out and can't find. It has dates and chocolate chips and is really good. We want to make it--would someone find it for me and post it? Gracias.
Oh, and a few minutes ago, I think I posted some comments under Wade's name, as he was signed in to google a few minutes ago! Sorry! It really was me, avoiding loading up the last of the dishes before going to sleep!
I'll give my mom a call and either have her post it or I will get it from her and post it.
ReplyDeleteHey, Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHere is the recipe for the Picnic Cake. It is a recipe of an old neighbor who lived across the street when we first moved to Idaho.
