I make these for my hubby and kids and potlucks. Everyone loves them and asks how I made them because they haven't had them with a little kick before. One batch I added a tsp of garlic and I even ate some. (I don't like green fried tomatoes) My hubby and kids do a lot. -

I am happily married to my best friend and we just bought our first house! No kids but we have 2 little dogs that we think the world of. I was born in California and although I have been on the East Coast for most of my life I am still displaced! I love the beach and hate the cold! In our free time we love to go to the beach or the mountains and hike or intertube down the lazy Shenendoah River. It is so beautiful there! I have loved to cook all of my life and will read cookbooks like they are novels!
