I came across a recipe I made over 25 plus years ago that my kids really enjoyed! I can’t name anyone I made this for that didn’t really liked too! I can’t tell you where I may have found this recipe. I had handwritten it on a card and my memory has no recollection as to where I found this recipe. Most likely from a magazine. ~ Nancy
