I obtained this recipe through a Facebook group I'm a part of. The group is called Jacksonville Foodies and full of wonderful people with great ideas for all kinds of recipes. Kavitha Penta was kind enough to share a great recipe with the group. I tweaked the recipe a bit, according to tastes my family and I enjoy. Feel free to do the same!
