June 19, 2021 at 11:49 pmThis is a great recipe! I have made it as written and then recently swapped out the apples for dried mango and molded them into little cups which I then filled with marscapone cheese and topped with fresh berries and kiwi. Yum!

September 17, 2014 at 10:14 pmAh these look delicious! Is there anyway that you can make these without a food processor or blender? Could you use a hand mixer?? Probably not… Poor College kid problems… Thanks for the recipe though!!

June 21, 2014 at 8:28 pmHey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues
with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard work due
to no back up. Do you have any solutions to stop hackers?

October 16, 2013 at 10:13 pmSo I have a confession….. Other than hanging with family and getting an extra day off, Thanksgiving isn’t a big deal for me. At least not when it comes to the food. I’ll take the mashed potatoes and I do mean all the potatoes, and everybody else can have the rest. Maybe we should swap Thanksgivings.
