This recipe comes from one of our favorite cafes in our hometown, “Ida Mae’s Cafe” in Amery, Wisconsin.

At Ida Mae’s Cafe, they serve you the best down-home cooking  in a welcoming, warm, and cozy atmosphere, where you can come in and feel right at home.

They use locally grown produce from  gardens and the farmers’ markets, as well as farm-fresh sheep cheese from just down the road.
