I tried this recipe yesterday morning and it was FABULOUS! Let me first of all state that when I tried it, I didn't really use the recipe. I pretty much subbed everything. I used oatmeal bread- it hadn't sat out all night like the recipes suggests, I subbed skim milk in for heavy cream, splenda for sugar, and pam for butter. And it was still really good. If it's that good with all the substitutions, imagine what it would be like FOR REAL.
