This is the recipe my son ALWAYS asks for when he comes home. I got it from his Gramma Betty, who when I divorced her son, still considered me a member of her family. She's a lovely lady in the early stages of dementia, so far she still remembers me, I will truly miss her when she's gone. Zak's Gramma Betty passed away earlier this summer. We got to see her in a few lucid moments a week or so before she left us. Zak was so glad he got to see her dimples one last time.
