Thanks for leaving the comment.. and yes, those do look delicious.. one question.. the squash cookies, do they actually TASTE like squash?? I was just curious cause my husband wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole if he knew that is what they were, but if I could sneak in some carob chips or peanut butter chips, and the squash taste wasn't very strong, I bet I could get away with it.. lol Sad that I have to SNEAK healthy foods into his diet.

Blessings,

I just read on Gloria's blog that you make your own rootbeer! I love rootbeer and we can't get it here in New Zealand. Would you be able to share how you do it with me?
