  1. I have been extremely curious about what you would add to spice up treats. You can't add Johnny's Garlic, you know. But now I do know...honey or whipping cream. Aha. I request more sweet recipes. And also, a picture of your planter boxes, at least on wilsonwatch.

  6. I was thinking the same thing as Becca! Maybe I will make this with the kids. Are you doing herbs in your planter boxes?
