I got this recipe from a co-worker several years ago. I changed a few of the original ingredients and added a few extras of my own. This is a great sunday side dish that can be made a day ahead and refridgerated. I love recipes that I can prepare ahead when I have company coming for dinner. It allows me to spend time visiting and not worrying about preparation of a meal.Plus this recipe is yummy!
