My dad loved this! He even asked for the recipe and he NEVER asks for a recipe! Thanks for sharing! -
This came in handy on Fathers' Day. We doubled the recipe to cover French bread sliced lengthwise. Great side for foods off the grill! -
I made this for Zaar tag, it is so good! Great flavour mix and I liked the fact it was a little bit 'different' A definite keeper. Thanks Canarygirl =)
