Lick-The-Bowl Good

Today I concocted a snack that was good enough to to lick the bowl . . . I’m not saying I did or anything.

Roxy (the cute black thing in the background) experienced food envy.

I’m calling this combo Blackberry Pie In A Bowl. I’ve never had blackberry pie, but I imagine this is what it would [...]
