I am rating this 4 stars because first, it tastes good and the consistency is good. It also smells delicious while baking. It also receives this rating because it requires *no butter* and *no oil*. The ingredient list was just what I needed tonight since I had neither. I made my own icing using powdered sugar, vanilla and milk. Feel free to visit Lin's Christian Exchange for recipes and useful Christian stuff. Thanks Lin

Tavern Brunswick Stew

Brunswick stew is a fall staple in our area. This is by far the best recipe I've tried for making brusnwick stew that has that "down home" taste we've come to love in the South!!!
