I have so many recipes going through my head this morning and so little time to sit and share. But am trying to think, “ok, what is something different I have not put on the ole blog before that would just suprise the heck out of everyone, and I thought…hum, something healthy! That’s it, I have nothing on the blog that would make our “healthy conscious friends” out there give us the ole pat on the back, so will share a great recipe that even I (Ms. Butterkin) think is pretty tasty and good. Got this out of Southern Living and is listed under “healthy Living” so we know it’s got to be just that!
