I WANT TO GIVE A HUGE HUG TO WHO EVER UPLOADED THIS RECIPE! Seriously, thank you. I've been scouring every corner of the internet for this EXACT recipe. My grandma had found this recipe on a little card she got in one of her million cooking magazines she'd get. We'd always make this when I was a teenager and young adult. She passed in 2010 and I lost the recipe. 11 years later I finally found it. Thank you for helping me relive such great memories.
