Never fear, Madhuri Premnath, the Mahwah resident who owns Baked in a Cup gourmet bakery on Main Street in Ramsey, is here to help. The baker is recommending two of her favorite, easy game day recipes.

“I use them a lot when I want to make a quick dessert,” she said of these two sweet Super Bowl suggestions:

Strawberries and Cream
