Recipe for a Holiday Morning

Author: Lena Austin
12 17th, 2009

OMG!! Even a “I can barely cook” type could make this delicious treat! It’s easy, inexpensive (monetarily, though carb-wise, you’d better have just one wedge and confess your sins later), and fast. From start to finish, it’s a mere thirty minutes of light work. So beyond decadent, especially with morning coffee. I’m going to serve this on Christmas morning, for sure.

This cat reminds me of my DH. Dante and I act like fools at holiday time, but DH just grumbles. However, don't you even think about someone else stringing the holiday lights on the house or tree! He claims we don't do it correctly. LOL! Dante and I ignore his grumbles and cheerfully celebrate as much as we wish.
Do you have a Grinch at your house? How do you handle them?
