Cooking

So I don't mind cooking. But I really hate when there are complainers and most of all I hate cleaning up the mess. But once in a while I find something that I really enjoy and don't mind cleaning up. It is out of the 2008 Pillsbury Bake-off cook book.
Malinda and I tryed it when she was out here and stayed the week with me, we both thought it was the best breakfast we had in a long time.So I thought I would share it with everyone. It says it takes 40 minutes for start to finish, but it really doesn't take that long.
