As an aside, at my bachelor party, we played The Newlywed Game, and they asked my husband what his favorite recipe I made was. He said this, but it was his mom’s recipe that she gave me, so I have never let him live it down. So, thanks to Nana Port for this delicious recipe! It’s been circulating in our home since we married 18 years ago :).
