was already decorated with plastic flies

NOTES : There are two flavors-chocolate, and gingerbread.
The cookies are dense and not very sweet, this is necesssary
so that they will keep their shape during baking. If you use white

Sloppy Joe Pizza

for about 13 minutes.

Take out of the oven. Cover with 1/2 jar Healthy Choice spaghetti sauce

mushrooms, c. Then place BTB topping (recipe below), put back in 350
degree oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until crust is done. Slice and
eat: I think it’s about 10% CFF, and very little dairy. (Vegans, if
you can come up with a substitute for “buttermilk”, your posting would be
appreciated.)
