Recipe of the Day

I love to cook with my kids.  I don't mind the mess or the extra time it takes.  I think the lessons learned while cooking together are worthwhile and the time spent together is priceless.  Little M made one of our family's favorite recipes for desert today.  Very few of the recipes we use are of my own making, some recipes in my recipe box I have just jotted down over the years and have no idea where they came, but I know where this recipe came from and you can check out the site with the link below.  Let me know if you try the recipe out and what you think.





From the website Favorite Brand Name Recipes:
