Submitted by CindiJ

"My mom used to make this all the time when I was little. It is one of those recipes where there really isn't a recipe - she just did it. After a lengthy talk with my little sister this past week, I decided I had better try to remake these and write them down so we don't forget this wonderful little tidbits."
