The Supermom Chef

I’ve already confessed on a previous post my love for anything containing green olives. And that means this recipe is a definite repeater in my house! I honestly don’t remember the first time that I made this recipe. I know that sounds weird for me, but it’s true. You see, a couple of years ago I wrote a cookbook as a fundraiser for my son (he has lots of medical issues that require us to travel cross-country quite often and it gets really expensive). So this recipe was in the cookbook listed as one of the recipes that I myself submitted but I just don’t remember ever making it until last November. When I compiled the cookbook, I only used recipes that I myself truly use over and over because I didn’t want it to be your typical community cookbook. I think it’s God at work trying to show me this recipe because He knew I would love it! The first time I made it was for our early Thanksgiving at my house, and we all filled up on the spread so much that we weren’t really hungry for dinner! It’s super simple, inexpensive to make, and always a crowd pleaser. How can you go wrong?

Now I’m wishing I had some leftovers to go munch on now. Just the sight of it again makes me want more!
