This is a popular recipe found on the internet, but I like it because it’s very easy and very tasty!  It’s a little bit sweet and a little bit salty…just like me!

A couple of years ago my youngest son decided to move…into our basement.   As a college student he felt he needed his own space.  And the basement was just the place for his “man cave”.  I was fine with that!  I was quick to call dibs on his old bedroom for MY own space.  Yes, I lost my son to the basement, but gained an office.
