My son came up with this recipe to enter it into a 4-H Food Review contest two years ago. He was 10 at the time. He wants to be a chef when he grows up and own his own restaurant. He is always coming up with new recipes and ideas. He won first place and grand champion for this recipe. We have enjoyed making this recipe several times since.
