  2. Kelly - You mean I am the only one who has pears, cranberries and coconut laying around that needed to be used up? Because this was gluten free I was able to ship it off with my son's girlfriend before I ate the whole thing. And yes, I would have eaten the whole thing - I was well on my way to doing just that.
