This looks so creative and easy at the same time! (And I've never made a recipe like this.) I've bookmarked the recipe. :)Kath (My Funny Little Life)http://myfunnylittlelife.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-21855656267267860482011-04-11T23:35:01.501+10:002011-04-11T23:35:01.501+10:00Ooohh...Sylvia is such a darling.

Trudy didn't use it in hers. And it is a shame we are so far apart - would love to have playdates for sylvia and cooper - and baking days with you!<br /><br />Thanks Lisa - yes - my almonds were raw but I would like to try this with roasted almondsJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-9382951836472599672011-04-11T07:39:21.194+10:002011-04-11T07:39:21.194+10:00what a grat use for almonds!what a grat use for almonds!Lisa (bakebikeblog)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14802600386274518441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-15303459035996754622011-04-11T07:15:52.325+10:002011-04-11T07:15:52.325+10:00ps wish you were closer, would love to spend time ...ps wish you were closer, would love to spend time with you and introduce Cooper to Sylvia :)Jacqueline Meldrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05748535381400208316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-52226737672869394542011-04-11T07:15:19.324+10:002011-04-11T07:15:19.324+10:00That looks really fab and I have too many carrots ...That looks really fab and I have too many carrots too! Don't have nutritional yeast flakes (wouldn't know what they were) or pumkin (used my squash in soup), but I have everything else. Do you think it will still work?<br /><br />ps love the little insights into Sylvia. The yes story made us laugh. I think Cooper may be the same. Even though he only says Mama, he is very firm in his views and letting us know what he wants. He is great at shakinghis head to say no, but hasn't managed a nod for yes yet.
