Yum!
Louanne, I’m with you, chicken fried anything is wonderful though we do try to limit the cholesterol associated with it. This is a Sunday favorite, especially in the winter. It’s all about the comfort when it’s freezing outside. I hope you enjoy it Velva.
This is a beautiful and comforting Sunday meal. I have bookmarked this idea.
Happy Sunday to you!
