Mrs. Marvel has asked me to “pitch hit” for a couple postings.  These are from my recipe collection, which are not on recipe cards, but from two printed cookbooks that I have accumulated over the years.  Of course, if I lose the printed copy, or it gets spilled on from too much use, I can still retrieve it from my computer.

To start the meal off we often have an appetizer, but why, when if you eat enough of them you will be full.  Nevertheless, we still sometimes have them.  This first one comes from Grammie Hennie.  Grammie Hennie is Mrs. Marvel’s grandmother.  She loved to entertain and this was a favorite of hers.
