Once again we’re hitting up ole Shelly Mae. I believe she’s coming for her recipe book this weekend, so we’ve been making copies and pulling some up for you guys as we go along. Don’t fret though, if she gets too pushy we’ll just lock the dern gate and that’ll put an end to that!
This recipe sounds really good and Shelly Mae said it is delicious! Deb and I’ll be tryin’ this one for sure!

‘Ridin Out The Recession With Dub and Deb in “Miz Judi’s Kitchen’!
Note to Readers: There are a few things that Dub doesn’t know but one thing he does know is that the word ‘Riding’ (as in Riding Out the Recession) is spelled with a ‘g’ at the end. But Dub not only walks the walk, but speaks like he is: down home, true blue, and plain speakin’ country folk.
Dub and Deb are both native Floridians, live in Central Florida, and run a small business as well. They have five children, and seven grandchildren.
Both love to cook, love to laugh, grow a garden, and generally try to “aggravate” most anyone around them basically…all in good fun, of course!
