Elaine is one of our dear customers.  She brought in 2 recipes to share with our customers.  Elaine not only brought in the recipes, she made numerous copies and put them in a sleeve so our customers could take a copy home with them.  That is definately going beyond the call of duty.  This is Elaine’s recipe.
