Hummingbird Cake

"Hummingbird cake is a classic Southern cake that originated in a pamphlet released by the Jamaican tourism board; hummingbirds are an national symbol in Jamaica, thus the name. The cake is indeed nectar-sweet, with mashed bananas and pineapple studding moist layers that alternate with cream cheese frosting."  Comment from Simply Recipes

Hummingbird cake is one of the most delicious cakes I ever had a couple of times.  This cake at a bakery is super expensive but worth it.  Better to make it yourself.

"Stuffing balls are exactly what they sound like — balls of stuffing! This recipe is a great option for people looking for a bite-sized appetizer or side dish that has all the traditional Thanksgiving flavor (with a fun twist)."  Comment from All Recipes

What an awesome idea!  Stuffing is one of my favorites and I never thought of making them into balls for an appetizer or snacking.  An idea is to use leftover stuffing.  Gotta try it!

Perhaps you grew up eating or making this coffee cake, just as our founder Elise Bauer did. "A favorite family ritual growing up was this apple coffee cake on Sunday mornings," she writes. "My father would prepare it for his six greedy kids, all of us begging for him to pile on the brown sugar streusel topping." Elise says that her dad usually doubled the recipe to better feed their large family.  Comment from Simply Recipes

I've used Bisquick in my cooking since I was a young adult.  The many magazines I subscribed to had numerous recipes that included Bisquick, so I decided to try it.  Now I use it routinely for biscuits and pancakes and love it.  I've also adapted recipes using Bisquick, like a banana bread that took me years to perfect.  So I am anxious to try this apple coffee cake.
