I'm looking for a recipe for a punch that has Cream of Coconut with pineapple and different flavors of Kool-Aid in it. It can or you don't have to put Alcohol in it. I have heard it called Dye-It-Punch. If you happen to know of the recipe for this could you e-mail it to me please. I fix punches at time for a youth group at church and I don't use Alcoholic Punches. If you know of anything like this and would let me know, I would appreciate it. Thank you, Georgia Gaylor

Do you have your "Pumpkin Praline Pie" in any of your cookbooks?

I think there is a problem with this recipe. I don't think you should bake the pie crust ahead of time when you are going to be baking it with the filling for 30-40 minutes. Why not just bake the pie crust once????

Oh, when I saw you making this sweet potato praline crunch on Live with Kelly, I wanted to run out and get the ingreidents. I have a question. Want to make sure that the recipe is calling for fresh SWEET POTATOES and not fresh YAMS. I'm having company this weekend and want to make this recipe, so I just want to make sure i get correct ingredients. Thanks so much. LOVE YOUR RECIPES. Sandi
