I'm doing a couple's bridal shower and we are going to blindfold the bride and groom and have them put two different recipes together. One is going to be Chocolate Chip Sensation, I don't know what other recipe to make. I need something simple and that doesn't involve a ton of products.
 
What if you just did chicken fajitas in the DCB w/ onions and bell pepper? Turns out super awesome (I made this for dinner last night for my bf!!!)
 
Wait a minute...blindfolded?!! :D How on earth will they put anything together?! That would be a fun thing to watch! :) I'd definitely avoid the fajitas--anything needing the mandoline or knives should be avoided. ;)

Yup, blindfolded! I agree with the fajitas not being the best recipe. Might have to bring down all my cookbooks and start browsing.
 
Does it have to be no cook? If not, the Chipotle Chili Cornbread Bake would be good, as long as the onions were already sliced, and the peppers cut in chunks (the peppers can be chopped with the Food Chopper, so no worry about cutting off a finger - and, this would show how easy the Smooth Edge Can Opener really is, but fun trying to watch the blindfolded person figure out how to fit it on the can!).

Not sure how well that would work, it takes several trips to the microwave.
 
cool veggie pizza?
7 layer salad squares?
or 7 layer salad in the trifle bowl?

Can you post the cool veggies pizza and 7 layer salad squares?
 
What about assembling a trifle if the ingredients were already put together? Or they could cut up a pound cake with the old green/pink plastic knife? Would be funny to see how well it turned out, using the EAD blindfolded would be a hoot!
 
Cool Veggie Pizza

1 can (8 oz.) refrigerated crescent rolls
1 pkg (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1-1/2 tsp. mayonnaise
1 tsp. Pantry All-Purpose Dill Mix or dill weed
salt & pepper to taste
2 cups of a variety of fresh vegetables: zucchini,
mushrooms, carrots, green & red peppers, green
onions, seeded tomatoes, seeded cucumbers, etc.
1 oz. (1/4 c.) shredded cheddar cheese, if desired
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread crescent roll dough onto 13-inch baking stone and pinch seams together (you can probably use a cookie sheet as well). Bake 10-12 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Blend cream cheese, mayonnaise, dill weed, salt & pepper. Spread the cream cheese mixture on top of cooled crust. Coarsely chop or crinkle cut chosen vegetables. Sprinkle layer of each vegetable over pizza. Top with grated cheese, if desired. Refrigerate before serving.
Yield: 8-10 appetizer servings
