I see a couple recipes I might try.
Bkmk
It will be his first year doing something by himself rather than just serving as vegetable chopper and bottle washer. I am so proud of him.
Save for later
Throw the rest in the trash! Gimme some of that paleo raw carrot cake!
I made this Mrs. Fields Pecan Pie Bar recipe recently, and I think it seems better than the one they listed. The only thing I did different was to halve the vanilla and add bourbon (or rum) in its place. It was very very good, and my friends all loved the bars.

A salad I do NOT remember the name of:
A box of PISTACHIO instant pudding
A can of crushed pineapple
a container of COOL WHIP
MIX THE DRY PUDDING MIX DIRECTLY INTO the crushed pineapple. STIR well. Cool in refrigerator or freezer-—but do not freeze.
Fold Cool whip into above. SERVE
Can multiply as necessary.
Heavenly Hash?
Watergate salad?
Ribbon salad in a tree mould.
Tricky but great.
Green, yellow and red jello, with the fruit or fruit juice in them, layered. The yellow is mixed with cool whip and light cream cheese.
The layers stick if you don’t let them cool too long before layering them. And what a sight when unmoulded. Used to watch my sainted mother in awe.
Go get a chocolate pecan pie from cracker barrel.
I adore Heavenly Hash!
