Recipe Introduction


This is what we served at Angie's Bridal Shower. On August 2, she becomes Mrs. Thomas A. Dierckx, of Pheonix, Az. I've been truly blessed in both my daughter-in-laws and son-in-law. I joke that if I went to the "Mall of Future Children-in-Law" I couldn't have chosen better myself. I must have taught my kids well.
Serves 8
