Around the Kitchen Table with Nanny

Another beautiful sunny afternoon just a little cool out tho. But we really dodged the bullet with the ice storm that hit lower Arkansas. We did have a pretty good collection of sleet and some ice build up on the trees also but not as bad as it could have been. We know Spring is just around the corner tho and as usual we are all looking forward to that. But ole Winter is still with us so I’m thinking winter food, something warm comforting. So this week I’m going to share a recipe I have had and made many time through the years. It takes a little time but is really worth it when it’s time to eat!
