Tweet Longtime friends here at JuicyMaters knew Jackie. She was a little halfbreed…more like 57 breed mix, really..dog that I got last year when she was about 6 weeks old.

About 7-8 minutes in, you are going to be smelling what Heaven must smell like. It’s the first part of what puts the “OMG” in the recipe name. You’ll want to pull them out right then and begin trying to eat them…ALL of them. But wait…it’s worth it. Wait.
