I am sure that I am not the only woman out there that could occasionally use a few more hours in the day right? Well I feel like this on a daily basis starting March 1st until May 30th. That is when my “normal life” of being a wife, mother, Blogger, part time produce lady, part time librarian, part time manicurist also includes the title of Full Time Track Coach! It seems to me that this time of the year I seem to go from one thing to another with no break in between. From the minute that dang alarm goes off, until I lay my head on the pillow. My OCD kicks into over drive! (lol) Making sure there is a home cooked meal on the table every night becomes more challenging. I try to make sure I plan my weeknight menu according to what I have already prepared….cooked chicken, sausage, any veggies I have in the fridge or dry goods I have in my pantry.That is how casseroles like this become created. Dinner doesn’t have to be complicated. Simple Ingredients paired together that take little time can become a family favorite. Give this a try and see just how filling & delicious it is.
