My husband and I met while attending the same church. There was a group of several sweet ladies there and they had put together a cookbook, which they gave to all the newly married couples.
When we got married, we were one of those couples. We moved and left the church less than two years later, but I still remember the kindness and love of those women and I still have that cookbook.
One of the ladies in particular was a woman named Joan {along with her husband Ron and their daughter Krista}. Joan was the type of person who would always smile and say hello and was generous with hugs.
Even though we were not fortunate to see her again, I have reconnected with her wonderful daughter.
Krista and I communicate often. If I needed her, I know she’d be there.
The base for this recipe was one that Joan had contributed to my special cookbook. I hope it honors her memory and conveys to Krista how highly I think of her and cherish our friendship.
