I like how apparently an appetizer made with liver & onions is the absolute worst food thing I could think of, ha!
Dear Ma,
I still hate liver & onions. But I wish I had a bucket of those deep fried sugar donuts you made back in the day. Yummmmmmmmmm.
Love,
Angie
Your daughter.
The middle one.
A - N - G - I - E.
You know, the middle child, in between the two oldest and the two youngest.
What do you mean remind you who I am again???????
I was the kid with the basketball sized head and the insufferable
know-it-all attitude!
Oh let's face it, not much has changed.
Anyway, XOXO.
P.S. Can you make me up a batch of those sugar donuts sometime soon, please :)
Okay, let's move on to what these "fillo" shells are...
These are
fully baked
phyllo dough cups.
You will either find these in the freezer section or the bread aisle.
Yeah, I know.
Weird.

Each one tastes like a little mini flaky BLT.
The tangy mayo with the salty bacon and flavor of the Rotel tomatoes with that combo cheese, FANTASTIC!
Disclaimer: I am completely serious, don't say I didn't warn you!
These suckers are absolutely addicting!
I mean addicting!!
I'm not going to tell you how many I ate seven but I will say I had to throw these in the freezer nine wrapped up real good for Christmas Day brunch fine ten because I would have ate twelve every single ding dang one. Shut up.
*************************************************************************
Quick note: I put these in the freezer wrapped up really really well.
I took a couple out the next day and let them come to room temp.
They were every bit JUST AS DELICIOUS BUT the phyllo cup flaked a bit so be careful when removing them from the tray/plate/bag in the freezer.
