This recipe was adapted from a cookbook printed by a sister-church, and has served me well.  I like it in all kinds of weather, but I prefer it on the cold, wet days.  It is very filling (and very bad for you…which makes it really good!), and it’s a great comfort food.  Do you have any special comfort foods on the dreary days?
