Notes: At my request, Mom made this for my birthday more years than I can count. It was my very favorite recipe of hers. She would make at least a double batch so I could eat ir for breakfast...(yes, breakfast!) until it was gone. It was just the best...so was she. I can't wait to make this for Lennon one day and I am even more excited to see what her favorite dish to have on her birthday will be.
