My daughter, Raizel, has taken to reading some of the blogs that I follow. She is particularly taken with Lynn at Lynzrealcooking.com. When Raizel saw this recipe (and the peanut butter cheese cake) she said, “Mom, you have to make this! It looks scrumptious!”
Here is the link to her recipe:
So, as I shared earlier, I have been home sick for the past few days. What am I doing with my spare time? Cooking! So, this is my rendition of Lynn’s recipe.
My Fool

Thank you Lynn for this wonderful recipe.
