Pam's Sugar Free Chocolate Pie
Was just OK - I used SF pudding mix for the diabetics and they like it.

Rum Cake I
This is a tradition at my house for Christmas. It freezes well, so I make it ahead and add extra juiced up icing before serving. Have also baked in small individual size bundt pans and served 6 or 8 around a pretty Jello mold on a platter. I shipped 3 out to family this year. Protect the cake by double wrapping in aluminum foil in a pretty tin with a tight-fitting lid. UPS does a great job delivering with no damage.

Tangy Salad Dressing
I found G-Ma's recipe ! Growing up in Miami, my grandmother always had fresh fruit on hand. This tangy, but sweet dressing was a favorite of mine. Now, I use Balsamic vinegar and a bit less agave nectar than a previous reviewer (or honey). Stores well, but doesn't last long in our home! The kids will love their fresh fruit bowls with this drizzled on top!
