I am not the best cook and this seems to be a little bit above my cooking expertise, but I am going to give it a try. Sounds wonderful!
Thank you for sharing.

Lea, It's really not as hard as it sounds...just watch the times and temps on the puffs as they are baking. They will swell up.
The sauce just be sure not to get the temp to high or it will scorch and keep stirring it and you will be just fine. I would help you with it if I lived closer LOL!
God Bless, Brenda
