This is a recipe take -off of Goldie Barnhart.. I wanted to make her recipe for dinner guest , but did not have all the ingredients needed in the recipe so I added a few different ones and kept some the same..it turned out delicious and the guest asked for the recipe- I also gave her Goldie's original recipe.. Thanks so much for your inspiration Goldie..hugs.
