January 7, 2007

Several years ago, a friend shared this dessert recipe with me. Actually, I think I had to beg her for it after she served it at her home. She isn’t looking, so I’ll pass it on. I have no idea of the calorie count or nutrition information. When you eat this heavenly dessert, it won’t [...]

January 2, 2007
