Hey everyone, Hope you all had a great day today. I went to visit my grandmother today and will I was there I was going through some of my old stuff. I stumbled across an old cookbook that my sister & I made up. We used to cook dinner for my grandmother, aunt & uncle. I decided to post on of our favorite desserts to make. It’s simple and great to make with the kids, or if they are old enough, to let them make alone. Best of all it is delicious. Hope you all enjoy it.
