I love to cook and eat good food! I love when people tell me that I made something wonderful or they say "can you just make me it for me?" Life is good knowing that in some way you can sprinkle some happiness with a yummy dessert in some one else's day.
My latest creation is a recipe that I got off of Pinterest. I have tried a couple recipes in the past from here, however I have had a couple of fails. Anyways, this recipe is absolutely wonderful. Its a touch of tart, yummy sweetness and a little crunch (with the pecans) . Also, I drizzled a little white chocolate on mine . You can never go wrong with chocolate, right?
Here is what you will need along with the list of ingredients and directions.
For Oatmeal Crust:
1 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cup old fashioned oats

I could tell!
I love the idea of eating the good food such as you have prepared and fixed for us to see.
But, here is what I try to do. Work out to burn some of the calories.
I just came back a few minutes ago from a workout.
I am not heavy anyway. Just a little tummy softness that I need to toughen up some. Ha
Thank you

A little tummy softness isn't so bad but kudos for making an effort to tighten it up!
