Weekend Company #8 {Guest Blogger Julie}

Happy Saturday!!! I hope this week treated you well, and your weekend plans are full of things you love most! Here at EMM, it's time once again to welcome a foodie friend to share a recipe and hang out w/ us. Today, I'm happy to welcome Julie, another "easy meal" blogger from Julie's Eat & Treats. I love her ideas, her blog and OMG, her desserts! My sweet tooth is always satisfied when she features a new sweet treat. So, please welcome Julie, visit her blog, and see what she has cooking today!

Hey everyone! I'm Julie and I blog over at Julie's Eats & Treats. I'm 26 years old and I live in Minnesota with my hubby. I've been blogging for a little over a year now. My blog focuses on easy and simple recipes for every day families. I love sharing recipes and hearing about you trying them! Other than blogging I enjoy playing softball and volleyball, hanging out with my nieces and nephew and spending time on the "farm". I grew up on the farm so I won't lie...my recipes are usually down home cooking!

I think this is why I love Krista's blog so much. Her recipes are a lot like mine and they truly speak to me. I love when you find that in a blog and are excited every time she posts a new recipe to try! It's my honor to guest blog today for her and I hope you enjoy the recipe I'm sharing!

Now onto that recipe...

This recipe is a favorite and a staple in my house and it came from my mom. I mean really how can you go wrong with a recipe that was first made by "mom"? This is also one of the most popular recipes on my blog and I have received great feedback from it so I thought you guys should have a chance to try it too! It's great leftover too IF you have any!
