*My dear friend Klisa brought these to us for a dinner once and we loved them! I couldn't get a hold of her to get her exact recipe so I researched one to try and copy. This was pretty close to what she had made! Yum!!! Note for me: I didn't add the thyme, since Joe hates it. Lots of salt and pepper, a little bit of savory spice, and some oregano made up for it I think.
