I so want to do that too, but with 9 am church and 3 little kiddos to get ready, would we have time to eat it? Hmmm....gotta think on this one. I'll definately be trying it soon. I'm going to add it to my recipe blog so I can remember it. I'll post credit for the recipe back to you though. Thanks!

That's so funny you have a "Jeffy". So do we!

My daughter (now 7.5) has called my husband "Jeffy" since we first got together. She was almost 3. Now, everyone calls him that. Too cute.
