Let’s face it, life is busy. So, having a delicious meal you can throw together to satisfy everyone. Sunday night was no different; my husband and I might not have had Pathfinder, but I still needed something delicious to make. Sometimes the most delicious are the ones that we kind of just throw together.

Last night’s dinner was a hit; there are plenty of leftovers for lunch today and for dinner tonight.
