These are not hard to make but a little bit time consuming. This could easily be made in the morning and stored in the refrigerator until it's time to bake it for dinner. It's always good to look for ways to ease the dinner time prep. :) We got this recipe from Mrs. Belinda Weldon in Germany. We went to church with her at Eifel Baptist Church and she served these at one of our "Dinner 8" gatherings. "Dinner 8" was 4 couples who got together once a month for dinner hosted by one of the couples. The host was responsible for the main meal and everyone brought something to go with that. We would do this about twice a year, changing the groups around. It was a wonderful way to get to know the folks in our church. "Dinner 8" was a lot of fun and we have many fond memories of those times.
Love Always,
Mommy
