Robert Redford...

Since tomorrow is Valentine's Day, I'm sharing my valentine's favorite recipe of all time.  Robert Redford.  There are several variations to this recipe, and I even remember my mom using butterscotch pudding in it when we were little, but this is the recipe I have used for many years and the one he grew up with so it's not something to mess with.  Although, he seems to think the name, Robert Redford, is a little outdated and could stand a change...like to Angelina Jolie...but it just doesn't sound right, so Robert Redford it stays!

And just for fun, here is a picture of My Valentine and me!  I hope you all have a great weekend!
