Barbara says the recipe has been in the family for many, many years and it was a favorite. Friends have asked for the recipe and it became one of their favorites also. Barbara has made the dish for her church potlucks and has been asked for the recipe. She is unsure where her mother obtained the recipe but she suspects that it was from a magazine; she tried it and liked it and the rest is history.
