"Taste of Home's Contest Winning Annual Recipes 2004. Contributor: Frances Quinn, Farmindale, NY This bundle takes a little time to assemble but they're worth it. They are always popular at a buffet or shower..great for every day dining too. This flavorful dish goes nicely with rice pilaf or a saucy pasta."

Hmm... let's see.. Cooking is my passion... I'm retired now and able to cook and bake every day. I think the most helpful cookbook that I own would have to be The New Doubleday Cookbook. I just love kitchen gadgets and have many of them. Besides cooking I love to sing and belong to the Sweet Adeline's International. I get very annoyed at people who are LATE! I think it's just as easy to be late as it is to be on time. Well.. thanks to all of you at Zaar for all of your terrific recipes and ideas that bring my friends and family much joy and happiness. They get to try all of my new recipes.
