I've been looking everywhere for this type of recipe! Thank you for posting it! -
We are huge fans of this! I did halve it because there are only 2 of us. We are going to an Easter Sunrise service and then a brunch. I was asked to bring a dish - this will be it and I know it will be a huge hit. Made for 2010 PAC.
