Gratitude Nov. 8

I am grateful for food! I love good food!!!  Cooking really isn't my thing, it is messy and I'm just not that good at it, but I love the eating part.  I don't think I have ever shared a recipe on my blog before, but now is the time.  My mother in law sent this recipe and it is amazing.  You need to try it asap.  Trust me on this one.
