Deceptively simpleJanuary 19, 2009By AngelGirl2954
"This recipe is deceptively simple and very tasty. The company made a ""kit"" with all the ingredients boxed up this last Christmas, which is the first time I tried it. It was excellent, so I Google'd it and found the recipe so I don't have to wait for the kit. Try it, it is so very easy and folks won't know. I won't tell them. Pretend you worked really, really hard."
