I’m in a “quick dinners” mode these days. Amelia has had an over-abundance of doctors appointments, medical tests, etc as of late. (And not to mention, sleep deprivation plus labor intensive dinners don’t go well together!) I threw this together one night because I had all the ingredients on hand and we were really happy with it. It’s quick, easy, and comforting. Three good things!
