"I got this one from Recipes from Miss Daisy. It uses sherry which adds a very pleasant flavor to this dish. This dish is delicious served over cornbread."

I'm originally from Tennessee but moved to Louisiana when I married my husband. In addition to cooking I enjoy making quilts, sewing, reading, and gardening. I have an immense collection of cookbooks but find the majority of my recipes online. I like it that they are rated. I am the mother of three children. My son is now with the Lord. My two girls are grown and married. My youngest has two young children.
