Introduction

Makes a large batch. I usually portion control in one cup containers. Eat one and freeze the rest. Great with a sandwich for lunch on a cold day. Makes a large batch. I usually portion control in one cup containers. Eat one and freeze the rest. Great with a sandwich for lunch on a cold day.
