Big Bird's Treat

Arriving home from the National Cage Bird Board Meeting in Jacksonville, Florida, I was delighted with a fantastic treat made especially for Big Bird! Those of you who know me personally, know that I am a lifestyle controlled diabetic so any sugar-free dessert really makes me feel special!
