I have had this recipe for years. I don't even know where it came from. This was a huge bummer when I found out I had celiac. It is FULL of gluten. Well, not anymore. With all the great products out there now I have been able to convert it with little difference in taste. Actually, this is requested often in my otherwise gluten eating house and I made this one as a birthday dinner. Now, I won't even begin to pretend this is healthy but it sure is good!
