Notes

Owen's uncle suggested this recipe, and he made it the next weekend for us.  We loved it!  Hannah wasn't home either time we made it, but the rest of us really enjoyed it!  The prep is pretty easy and all together is a quick recipe.  This can definitely be made during the work week  - love it!
