NOTES

These were brought to me and my family after I had my second baby by a sweet sister from my church. She brought enough so we would have leftovers. They are wonderful as leftovers. I recommend heating them up in the oven vs. the microwave when eating them as leftovers. They get crispy around the edges and are oh so yummy!
