Sweets for your sweeties
By Paula Dream (AKA Kale Haygood)
STAR readers, we are off to a good start to 2019. I can’t believe the first month is gone, and we have already forgotten our new year’s resolutions, if we made any at all. Paula’s was to lose weight. In retrospect, I think it actually was to eat more.
This time I bring to you some very, very easy sweet tooth recipes for you and your honey. So I leave these with you while I go run my traps.
