Fred and I just returned from visiting our cousin’s home in Tennessee . We had a great time, the drive is always beautiful going through the mountains. We did a lot of sight seeing, and visiting our relatives that we hadn’t seen in a while. It is always a lot of fun to catch up on everything going on in everyone’s life. One thing for sure we always have a great visit and a lot of good food!

Andy, our cousin’s son-in-law, is a great chef. I am always excited when we go there and they say, Andy’s cooking tonight because I know it is going to be a real treat! His wife Carlie makes you feel right at home. I don’t think either one of them knows a stranger. It has sure been a pleasure to get to know them over the last few years; they are just good God filled people. Andy was gracious to share one of his recipes with us this week. If you are looking for a good breakfast dish that feeds a lot of people, well this is it! This recipe is absolutely delicious and super easy! I tasted this one and it is something to wake up for in the morning. It is delicious! Enjoy!!!
