Wonderful! I made it for Thanksgiving one year and now everyone asks for it. My husband even asked for it on his birthday.

I share the same lunch hour with several ladies at work and we often bring something to the lunchroom for the others to taste. This went so fast. Of course they all want the recipe and I am embarrased to bring it in. They raved about my gormet talents and yet it was sooooooooo easy to make.
