A winner all around.........we LOVED this, there was NONE left over afterwards! I followed the recipe quite strictly and made NO changes, and that is why it is 5 stars - excellent flavours and textures and not too many seasonings, which can "kill" a recipe sometimes. Thanks MA Hiker for a divine meal which I will be making again and again!! Just one point, it was VERY difficult to measure an 1/8 of a teaspoon of cinnamon, so I just sprinked a bit in.....it seemed okay to us!!

I have been a member of recipezaar and food.com for years. This is definitely my go-to place for recipes and love that I can have all my individual cookbooks to sort and store recipes. ? I like to experiment when I cook and find that I rarely follow a recipe as it is written. I am also pretty health conscious and try to cook low-fat for regular everyday meals (you can't skimp on the rich stuff for holiday meals & treats!). I also avoid processed foods and use fresh wholesome ingredients whenever possible.
