This recipe is dedicated to a dear friend I met going to the University of Phoenix.  She offered me support and guidance to help me through the years.  I was so happy to receive her e-mail asking me for this recipe.  I am almost confident this is what she wanted.  Let me know my friend if this is the recipe you asked me about sent to me e-mail address!  I LOVE YOU!
