Both were delicious! I rarely bake these days because it causes me to ache if I eat eggs, milk, or white flour. I used to be quite the baker, though. I may put together an apple crisp today, though. It has less of the flare foods and will make the cabin smell divine!TheAwakenedSoulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636961399581011120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-79720137667986864442021-02-15T11:08:08.480-08:002021-02-15T11:08:08.480-08:00Maybe you can try the cookies the next time you ha...Maybe you can try the cookies the next time you have some extra bananas. :)<br /><br />Oh, that's funny about you having the same meal, just a different chutney!
