Notes: This was a little note that was on the recipe that I think was really cute." I can hear mom telling me to leave perfection alone, but I think I remember her adding crushed Frito corn chips on top. I think the recipe lends itself to modern day adjustment, like adding chopped parsley, or scallion, red pepper flakes, or some kind of chopped jalapeño peppers." (Cecile)
These are memories that we will always have of Grandma Greig's cooking.
