  1. Delighted to see this recipe in print because it seems to have disappeared from any books I have had. Somehow or other I misplaced mine (almost identical) and never could find one like it until now. Thanks so much for submitting.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a busy single mom of 5 growing boys!! My children's ages are 21,18,14,12 and 10 1/2. In my spare time,when I have any, I try to walk 3 miles a day.I like to read Woman's World and inspirational books and if I didn't have 5 beautiful boys to care for, I would probably be doing missionary work. I live in the beautiful Okanagan Valley in British Columbia and I swear we must be living in Heaven on earth!!!I would love to travel if I had the resources and time with Brazil and South America being on the top of my list of places to see.
