This recipe was one of my mothers favorite recipes. I think because you make them ahead and you can also freeze them. I know that she always had these on hand in the freezer for a spur of the moment appetizer, light lunch or to serve with soup for dinner. I remember having these when I was growing up, I am sure you too have certain foods that you remember your mom serving when you were growing up. I wonder what recipes my children will remember from their childhood. My bet is macaroni and cheese, potato casserole and beef stroganoff.
