"From Southern Living -- I have not made this yet, but I went looking for deserts for a dinner I am having at my house and this is what I decided on! The nice benefit is it is made with lightened items! Cook time is time for freezing."

I am Sarah. I am married to a wonderful man. He is a great Husband and Father. In March of 2011 we welcomed our daughter Evie into this world. She is everything and nothing I expected, and is without a doubt the best thing I have ever done with my life. I love to cook, and eat, and laugh, and drink and play. I have a wonderful life. There are things you do because they feel right, and they may make no sense and they make no money and it may be the real reason we are here: to love each other and to eat each other's cooking and say it was good. ~Brian Andreas, Story People~   Get to know our family at www.itsavol.blogspot.com <img src=http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss316/sarahbethevans/bfe23bac.jpg alt= width=477 height=639 />
