  Subject: looking for two Magic pan seafood recipes

  I used to work at magic pan, and fondly remember two recipes worth finding again.
  One had shrimp, bacon, onion and cream cheese. The other had scallops, cashews and something.    
  Oh yes and don't forget the Chicken Divan, pralines pecan,bananas foster, and palichintas.
  I have searched for years.

Hi Michigan,

  The recipe I'm looking for is Dr. Pepper Cake with Dr. Pepper Frosting.  Several years ago 
  (could be as many as ten years ago), I clipped this recipe from our local newspaper.  
  This cake was very moist and my sons loved it.  However, the last time I made it I failed 
  to put the recipe away and my husband threw it away thinking it was just a scrap of newspaper.
  I hope you can find it.

Hi C.C.,

I could not find a recipe from Tim Horton's, but below are some ideas. I wonder, why do we complain about cold coffee and then drink iced cappucinos?
