My friend Krissy gave me this recipe. She said as I started to copy it onto my recipe cards, "Don't you want to try it first?" No need, I've never gotten a recipe from her that wasn't just wonderful, and this is no exception. Krissy and I worked together for 30 years, a lot of them side by side. Between us we have 9 brothers! When people would comment on how ornery we were, we would blame it on surviving all those brothers!
