This recipe is a keeper. I'll be sure to make it again in the future. Me and my family absoulutly loved it! I did make a few changes due to what I had on hand. Insead of berries, I used a little bit of jam, which turned out pretty good. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

<br>Of course, I love to cook and bake. Desserts seem to be my specialty, however my husband & I like Mexican, Southwest, Greek, and Italian cuisine alot. Healthy food(soy milk, tofu etc.), alot of raw vegetables and made from scratch comprise much of our diet. I have always had problems cooking fish, tho we do like to eat fish. We are both retired.

<br>My husband and I are both natives of Colorado, however somehow we ended up living in St. George Utah, in the South west corner, near Zion, Bryce, & Grand Canyon National Parks, which we enjoy alot. Before the price of gasoline took a jump, I volunteered at Zion NP.
