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…

Well, I’m sure my favorite dessert would include chocolate, if I wasn’t allergic to it. But since I am, I’ll have to go peanut butter oatmeal no bake cookies. Or maybe cheesecake with fresh strawberries and strawberry sauce on top, or maybe….well, I better stop. I’m making myself hungry.

Hmmmm…. I think it’s brownies. Or that seven-layer various-chocolate-concoction cake that every restaurant seems to have? Or maybe it’s hot fudge cake. I can’t decide!

But I *would* love to have this book – we are currently trying to figure out how to get out of all the credit card debt we racked up while DH was in medical school.

I have listened to this guy on iTunes and he sounds good. Thank you! Fav dessert . . .? Right now I’d have to go with strawberry rhubarb pie with ice cream. I know there’s no chocolate on that which is crazy ’cause I love chocolate. Ah well, there you have it.

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.
