Sarah - Adore all the ingredients in this recipe so will definitely have to make it in the very near future. We are planning to attend a church picnic next month and must bring a side dish large enough to serve six people. I'm sure no one else will bring anything nearly as clever and differently delicious as this recipe sounds. I think it would also hold up well irregardless of outside temp. So, do you think it would be enough for six people or would it be best to double it without messing up the taste? Looks like my husband and I could eat the whole batch as posted by ourselves (hehe) - so yummy sounding, but would want to make a decent enough amount for this picnic. Should I double it, what do you think? Thanks. I've got to print this recipe right now before I lose it by forgetting where I found it in the first place.

This does look like a great recipe. I may just have to make this after my next paycheck. I already have all of my food purchased from the last one.

Cutting and pasting.
