I will definitely try this recipe. My family and I are planning to have a vacation. Who says you can't have a soothing getaway without having green architecture? The Bali located resort Alila Villas Uluwatu uses all eco friendly design, and it's rated as one of the most relaxing getaway resorts within the world. Heck, pictures of it make me relax. (Then again, my usual getaway is to Margaritaville, and I don't mean the restaurant.) Of course, getting there might cost a couple of payday cash advances, but that would be worth it.

Very good, but a little too much cream cheese for my taste. I liked the simplicity of the recipe. I had to bake them for 17 minutes.
