Tomorrow is the Taste of Home show!!! I am so excited...and talked all five of my sisters, my mom, aunt, and a few friends to going with us! Well, I really didn't have to do a whole lot of arm twisting. I'm sure I'll have so many new recipes to try out, so decided to post one now that we have tried and love.

This recipe came from a friend in WA when we used to do "dinner group" with families from our ward. Each month we would decide on a menu and home to meet in, and it was always so fun, and we got to eat lots of yummy food, too!
