FloridaGrl and all: This is not an old recipe of her Grandmas. It came off a protective cover for Southern Living Magazine several years ago. I know because I have it in my cookbook. Please do not claim others recipes for your own. BTW: It is very good. I wouldnt expect otherwise from Southern Living.
