Blue Ribbon Recipe by

This is another wonderful old recipe from my two Uncles who lived in that great old Victorian house with the wood stove and that wonderful marble slab in the kitchen. I remember John would make these on a rainy day, serving them in the living room in front of a crackling fire in the fireplace with wonderful wine, while Mozart or Aida played on the stereo. They are so gooooooooood. More than once I made a pig out of myself eating them. It's a quick and easy recipe.

So easy and so very tasty! We cannot wait to serve this one up at our next dinner party.
