Well my favorite all time desert would be my brothers creation. He would make french toast, coat the pieces with peanut butter and then cover them in syrup…oh my goodness…it was soooo good. I would absolutely LOVE to win this book, my hubby and I could really use it.

Well – my favorite desert is hard to pick – I like anything sweet… Since it’s spring I’ll say Key Lime Cheesecake but in the summer you can’t beat strawberries and angel food cake and in the fall I love brownies and homemade ice cream and at Christmas I can’t pass up the pecan pie…
I’d love this book, we’ve started trying to follow Dave Ramsey’s advice and we’re making progress! I’m new to your blog but I’ll look around a bit…

My favorite dessert is simple-chocolate chip cookies. Actually Pizzeria Uno has a great variation on this. They have a choco chip cookie inside a little pizza pan. It’s topped with ice cream and whipped cream. It comes out all warm so it’s nice and ooey gooey. Thanks.
