Oh wow that sounds amazing, I can't wait to try it!!! What wonderful recipes! I host a (new) food show; its purpose is to celebrate what children are for. I am looking for moms who have recipes for more joy at home to contribute (or link) to my website. The more moms the better. The show raises money for charities that empower families. Anyway, we begin shooting in the spring. My new blog is iovercookedmyfamily.com. The show is Dishing with Debbie. I'd love to hear from you. Blessings to you.
