Recipe Exchange

Yes, life is busy right now – but it’s still fun to play! And, on that note, my friend Perri (who’s obsessing over Duke – declaring her love and loyalty! lol) sent me a recipe exchange that she got from Tee (who’s blog I had somehow missed over the years but I’m going to add to my reads!!)

I sent over my sister’s Taco soup recipe (hey, SHE shared it with me – she can find a different recipe to share this time!! LOL) to both Tee & Perri and figured that would be the end of it. I mean, seriously, does anyone but me reply to this things?

Well, yes they do!! My sister must have replied becuase her friend Cathy (sorry, no blog 🙁 sent me the following recipe! I can’t wait to try it! She agreed to let me share it here!! Enjoy!!

** This recipe was created by my husband’s mother. It is a fantastic blend
of flavors. It is really good the next day as well. Tom’s father likes it
the next day placed between two slices of his favorite bread for a tasty
sandwich – yummy!
