You’re welcome.

Usually, I do really well at controlling my sweet tooth.  I can go weeks without touching sweets.  And then there are certain times (of the month) when I crave sweets.  Specifically, ice cream.
So this last certain time when I was craving ice cream I happened to be in Target. (Not Super Target, just regular Target.  [...]

Hey guys! 
I was in the grocery store the other day and there was a sale on Kellogg’s Fiber Plus Chewy Bars (plus I had a coupon- yippee!).  I had heard good things about these bars and I decided to give them a try.
OK, seriously.  They were delicious and I wanted to eat the ENTIRE box [...]

2 teaspoons cinnamon-sugar

Flatten each biscuit into a 3 inch circle. [...]
