    At first I thought this was going to be a traditional fruitcake. (That's not a bad thing - I am among the very few people in the world who actually love fruitcake.) But this version is more like a delicious sweet breakfast cake. Still pretty and mouth-watering, just a different version. I'd love this too.

    Hi Catherine,
    My name is Teri and I write the blog, The Freshman Cook. I am also a co-host for the linky party, The Yuck Starts Here. Thank you for linking up last week. I love your Healthy Fruit Cake, and I can't wait to try it. I am trying to make a conscious effort to eat healthier and smarter, but it is difficult. I wanted to let you know that I selected your Healthy Fruit Cake as my favorite link up for the week. Your recipe will be featured on my blog when we go live tomorrow (Monday) evening at 6:00 pm EST. I hope you drop by, grab a button, and link up again!
