    I love this recipe, too! I remember making it last fall, and I am so glad I found it again. It is crunchy and just delicious. Enjoy it!

    This dish was a HUGE hit at my sister-in-law's "rehearsal cookout" - the night before her wedding. Even my husband's Aunts loved it and they're AWESOME cooks. I'll definitely be making the recipe again and again. Thanks!
