Thank you to everyone who particpated in our ABC game last week!
Last week was all about healthy foods, so this week...

Is there anything better?

Yum!
Ummmm, "panache" usually means flamboyance or elegant style...
Did you maybe mean "ganache"; The gooey chocolate filling that is inside truffles?
Unless there is a dish out there named panache that I'm just not aware of...
Well, there is a restaurant called Panache in Washington, D.C., and they do serve lots of sweet desserts. Perhaps you could get a piece of Pie at Panache?
Q:

Zucchini bread? I must not be making the right kind of recipes to consider that a sweet or a treat. LOL
I'm glad that I didn't have that letter.
Why don't we start again? It was fun but we haven't done it for awhile.
