Answer 2

Delicious and cheap don't go hand in hand. Your parameters are unrealistic. Cakes aren't easy either. Baking is a science. You really need to know what you're doing. Quick is subjective. Do you consider 40 minutes or more to bake a cake "quick"? Having said that, most of the ingredients you need to bake a cake are relatively inexpensive. Buying ready made cakes can be expensive. Many cakes can be put together in a relatively short time frame, but baking can take upwards of an hour. Then there's the cooling time and frosting [if desired]. White Picnic Cake w. Fresh Raspberries Ingredients 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup unsalted butter 2 whole eggs 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups flour 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons whole milk 1 cup of your favorite frosting, optional 8 ounces fresh raspberries, picked over, rinsed and dried Method Preheat oven to 350° Grease and flour a 9 x 9 inch pan or line a muffin pan with paper liners. In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and butter. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder, add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Finally stir in the milk until batter is smooth. Pour or spoon batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes. For cupcakes, bake 20 to 25 minutes. Cake is done when it springs back to the touch. Frost as desired. Arrange raspberries over top of cake Cake Tip: For a cake bottom that is as moist at the frosting-covered top, turn the cake out of the pan once it has cooled. Put the cake back in the pan upside-down. Now the moist cake top will be on the bottom, and the bottom of the cake, which can be dry, will be on top and covered with delicious moist frosting.

Answer 3

CHICKEN SALAD WITH COUSCOUS
Lean, smoked chicken breast gets a special — and healthy — treatment in this creative mix. The couscous absorbs the citrus juices (or use quinoa for extra protein — it has the highest amount of all the grains) for a tartness that plays well off the sweetness of the grapes. The bed of arugula is more than merely dish dressing: It's high in calcium and magnesium, making it a bone builder.
1 cup regular or whole-wheat couscous, or quinoa
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 1/2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley leaves
2 tbsp chopped walnuts
8 oz smoked boneless chicken breast, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
2 cups red seedless grapes, halved
2 cups green seedless grapes, halved
1/4 cup fresh pink grapefruit juice
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves, cut into thin strips
1/2 tsp curry powder
1 bunch arugula (about 2 cups packed), coarse stems discarded



Cook couscous (or quinoa) according to package directions. Stir in cumin and parsley and salt to taste. Let cool to room temperature. To toast walnuts, heat a dry pan over medium heat. Add walnuts and shake or stir 6 or 7 minutes, until lightly browned. In a bowl, toss chicken, grapes, juices, basil, and curry and salt and pepper to taste. Arrange arugula on 4 plates and divide couscous among them. Top with chicken mixture and drizzle remaining liquid over salads. Sprinkle salads with walnuts.
