This recipe comes from The Hawthorn Series Step by Step French Cooking which must be out of print because I can not find reference to it online anywhere! Here are some of their other little books. So cute and I picked mine up at Value Village for $2! I changed a lot of the original recipe […]

But I did something Martha may not approve of. I changed her recipe. And… I paid the price! You will find Martha’s original […]
