Recipe Notes

Wilted Living Lettuce is so good for you and tastes so good! This recipe is from my grandmother. She always made this with Buttered Lettuce, but we cannot find buttered lettuce anymore. We absolutely love this recipe, because it tastes so good and is a very healthy recipe for you. We were in Kroger's one day and I saw the living lettuce, so we decided to give it a try. We are so glad we did! This taste like an expensive recipe, but in fact is rather cheap one to make. This is a definite must try!
