RECIPE BACKSTORY
I learned this recipe while helping my mother-in-law cook for a large group in Belize. The group was down there helping build a school and also held eye and dental clinics. For several days we were cooking for around 100 people and most of the time for about 50. The group was working in temperatures in the 100's plus humidity. We provided this as an energy boost mid afternoon - along with gatorade and water.
