The schedule I’m aiming for here at One Dish Delish is posts twice a week, one on the weekend and one midweek. At the moment, I have at least one recipe photographed and in the queue from like two weeks ago, but I made these yesterday and they are screaming to be posted schedule and intentions be darned.

I made these for Discipleship Community, a midsize gathering of my church family, and I wanted to get the recipe up for all who enjoyed them. Because guess what, guys? They’re soo much better right out of the oven, so you should definitely make these if you get a chance. They’re also absurdly simple.
