Dishing It Up Recipe Hop: 4 Layer Delight

School is out.  Summer is here, maybe not yet on the calendar, but certainly on the thermometer!  Even though the past few days in North Texas have been gloriously stormy, the Dishing It Up Gals and I are thinking about eating outdoors!   All of our recipes this month will focus on picnics and barbeques!


I'm going to share with you a recipe that my mom has been asked to make for nearly every family get together I can recall.
