8 squares cinnamon- or chocolate-flavored graham cracker crumbs, crushed (1/2 cup)
Caramel or chocolate fat-free topping, if desired

Instructions:

Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minute, stirring constantly; remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and butter.

Totally Making This Tonight!

Sooo I have been looking for things to actually make in the kitchen ever since I have decided to do this whole vegetarian thing.

The only thing worse than my handwriting is my cooking. (I blame this on computers and microwaves. I am a victim of technology.) :-)

So of course I run to www.8thcontinent.com to look at their recipes and see what they have to offer.

Oh man- Corn Cheddar and Tomato Quiche? I am SO down!

Got it from the site- I will tell you how it tastes and if you want to also make it you can go to this link:
