Sunday someone brought this to church. She said she got it out of Quick Cooking. I wanted the recipe and I knew it'd take forever for her to get me the recipe since she's going on vacation this week. I posted on Recipezaar.com that I was looking for this recipe and someone posted it for me. It's really delicious.
