Dessert Day!!!

I just wanted to let you know that Kroger still has their sale on the Smart Ones Entrees and Dinners. It goes from today until next Tuesday. Go stock up!!! Okay, I'm updating again. Kroger has a massive sale going on. They have their lean pockets (and subs) for 2 for $5, their pillsbury dough products 10 for $10, Healthy Choice dinners 2 for $4, their oscar meyer beef hot dogs buy one get one free (for those that like 'em), Kashi Heart to Heart is 2 for $5, and a lot more. You just need to go and look for yourself. There's the sales update for today!!!

Well, if you have guessed anything from the title, you know today's recipes will be good (or at least I hope so), but first thing's first. The verse of the day is 2 Corinthians 5:6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord. We need to remember that as long as we are home in these bodies, we will not be happy unless we are honoring God. If we are honoring God with our whole lives, (including our bodies), Then Christ makes us complete and we should be whole in our earthly bodies.

Okay, Here is some great stuff for today. I have deemed today as "DESSERT DAY!!!" So take a look at these desserts that you can have for 1 point.
