Jenn,
ReplyDeleteWe must be ont he same wavelength in relation to culinary creations, as I made some muffins with my baby squash and cream cheese in a similar vain. I will be showcasing them tomorrow, so do come by and check them out. I think you will approve.
These look just as tempting, if only I could stick my finger in the screen and scoop up some of that cream. Yum.
Shaheen,
