These days when I'm meeting someone for the first time and the question "What do you do?" comes up, I answer with "I'm a stay at home mom and a food blogger." But there was a time I had a job outside the home, and for those who didn't know me 8 years ago, they don't realize this. I got my degree in 2002 and immediately started looking for a "real" job instead of waiting tables. I was blessed to find something that was the perfect fit for me at a local orthopedic medical office. I loved my job. I loved the people I worked with. I was there almost 3 years, and only one thing could make me quit...that's right, Monkey. He was born in September 2004 and my days of being a "working gal" were over. I knew my destiny had already been decided for me. I was supposed to stay home with him. After all, being a mom was all I ever truly wanted to be anyway. Early on when he was still a baby there were days, that while I was so happy to be with my baby enjoying every single minute, I did long for some adult conversation; and I would begin missing my friends from work. But those days became fewer and farther between, as we developed a routing, and especially as he grew older and we could interact more. There are many things I took away from that job. Lifelong friendships, job experience and even some incredible recipes! This is one that when I finally learned to make it I couldn't believe how easy it was. It's the perfect weeknight "throw together at the last minute" dessert; or if you serve it to guests it will be one they request the recipe for. Yes, I was once in the working world, but this world of "mommyhood" and food blogging are what I'm all about now!

Oh how I love this recipe...and adore the name you have for it! I've made it using cherry or apple, but I would REALLY love it with blueberry pie filling too. So glad you shared at Weekend Potluck - I can say it...MMMMM!
