Marshmallow Fruit Salad Makes 8-12 servings

I opted to use cool whip instead of cream cheese and sugar, because my husband hates cream cheese. (Sacrilege!)

I originally made the frosting from scratch but it turned out kinda grainy and gross. I will go the easy route next time around and try out a pre-made frosting. So what if it is a little bit white trash? I love it! Chocolate Eclair Cake…

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bars were my first experience baking with zucchini and although I was a bit cautious as to what they may taste like, they turned out delicious.
