Notes: I am not a real recipe follower. I like to use leftover spaghetti sauce for the tomato. If I don't have enough, I will through in a can of tomato sauce. This is a recipe that was handed down from my Grandma Moses. Most of her recipes say "to taste". This was how I was brought up to cook. For me to follow a recipe exactly, usually means that I have never made it before. I am teaching my kids that when you "cook" (not bake), you really don't need exact measurements. As grandma said "To Taste". Miss you Grandma.
