The old Gary Cooper movie, Sgt. York, is a family favorite with our entire team. In one scene Ma asks the blessing and says, "Lord bless these vittles we done got...". Hence, the name of our recipe collection.

Papa, Nama, and Grandpa & Grandma Durst came to visit us in Utah when Daniel was just six weeks old.  Daniel decided to show off and learn to roll over while they were there.  :)  I remember Grandpa and Grandma Durst both holding Daniel and marveling at him.  Grandma Durst could get him to stop crying when no one else could.  She had the special touch.

This is one meal that we made early in their visit and we just kept adding more ingredients to the leftovers and heating it up again for lunch.  This is a wonderful hot meal on a cool day.
Love Always,
Mommy
