Something New: Husband's Delight

Welcome to December, food friends!

Here in Columbus, the weather greeted us appropriately with a dusting of snow on the first day of this cheerful month. When I opened the door yesterday morning and saw it, I let out an audible gasp (to Chase's amusement). What can I say? I like snow.

I wish I had a convenient link between snow and this recipe, but there really isn't one. Still, this is a great recipe that I got from my grandma. Chase is scared of cottage cheese, but he loved this dish. Considering that last week he declared that Jumbo Cookies are perhaps his new favorite cookie, I'd say that my grandma has a recipe fan.

ps- My grandma and I have no idea where the recipe got it's goofy name. But my grandpa loved it when my grandma made it, so I suppose it's still fitting.

Happy Thursday cooking!
