This recipe is from Juanita Kaufman. She writes, “Many years ago, I was taking night classes at a junior college and became acquainted with a lady who was in charge of the cafeteria. Aside from accounting, we both shared a love of cooking. She gave me several recipes and this is one of my very favorites.”
