I can't believe that I haven't posted on this yet! I've been using this recipe for many years. I had a Pampered Chef Director that used this recipe at all her shows and I liked it so much, that I started using it too! I've passed it on to everyone I know to help make their time in the Kitchen well spent and enjoyable.
