It’s Weekday Wednesday once again, and I have to tell you, I’ve been stressed. Thankfully, I have only three days to go until I begin a one week vacation, but the three days are jam packed!

And it never fails, when life gets hectic like this, I start to crave something sweet. So I went into my recipe files last night to see what was what.

Talk about a delicious quick and easy recipe. Not only do mu husband and I love this one. It got a big thumbs up from a group of high school students I taste tested it on yesterday.
