Recipe's Story:
This recipe from my Aunt is fast and delicious, and if you ever saw her energetic family, you’d understand why that fast part was so important! With her kids, my brothers, and me running around everywhere when we would all get together, being able to put something like this together quickly that is so delicious every time was a must!
