October 6, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

    Hello Friends! Sometimes an accident can be a wonderful thing.  Take these Banana Spiced Muffin Top Cookies, for example. I was going for cookies, but the texture and taste were so close to that of a banana muffin that I couldn’t just call them a cookie.  And of course they don’t really look…

September 13, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! That’s right.  I did not say “fro yo.” ((yet) My wonderful boyfriend Dave got me three little containers of frozen yogurt since I was all sicky poo last week.  Because cold desserts fix everything. 😉 Since I am lactose intolerant..I had to give up eating ice cream, which I will admit, I did…
