The first came from my aunt, and the second one, well...I don't remember where it came from, but it is goo-ood! Do you have any tried and true recipes? Recipes that you make for your family that you think everyone should be making right now? Then stop by and tell Trista hey, and add your link to the Tasty Thursday post! I hope everyone is having a great day!
