PERSONAL NOTE from U. Taylor - folks I've made this one and left it
plain - it was delicious - am thinking there are other possiblities for
decorations depending on holidays - for Easter - tint SF coconut - use as
grass and put SF jelly beans and maybe a SF chocolate bunny. Also noticed
that the crust was very dry so added a little more margarine....

Servings: 16

"A good cook is the peculiar gift of the gods. He must be a perfect creature from the brain to the palate, from the palate to the finger's end.
"Walter Savage Landor"

"A diet is the penalty we pay for exceeding the feed limit."

"Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. At your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. You will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life. Losing weight is not a cure for life"
