Thanks for stopping by my blog last night Patti. I just bought that same Taste of Home magazine/cookbook last night. I almost missed out on it, they were tossing old magazines as I was looking for it. But I found one on a checkout aisle. I saw that recipe in there too. I saw LOTS of recipes that I want to try this month!
