My mother used to make this, and it is still my favorite way to prepare fish. My kids and hubby also love it!

Happily married Christian mom of four. As a homeschooling mom, I get VERY bored with making the same meals regularly. I strive to have family dinners at least 5 nights a week. This app is my fave. Most of the recipes I add come from old church cookbooks, or are family recipes. I tweak almost everything I make, and every recipe I add is something I think is delish.
