About This Recipe
“Hey you Paula Deen fans, she has a new magazine, “Cooking with Paula Deen”–this recipe is from the premier issue. It was so yummy looking, I couldn’t wait to try it. I added another 15 minutes to the cooking time suggested (30-35 minutes) and It was just right, but oven temperatures vary, so check on it during the last few minutes of cooking time. I’m also going to add a few dashes of cayenne pepper next time for something hot and sweet!”
Gloria’s comment: Lots of times when I find a recipe that I like, I end up forgetting where I found it. So I am putting all the recipes I find on my website for easy reference–for me and for you!
