This is a perfect recipe for one of those days when you seriously have no time or energy to spend on dinner. We just got back from an amazing weekend in good ‘ole bulldog country and I was looking for something quick and easy to make so I could spend my time on more important things… like unpacking and convincing myself that waking up for work tomorrow isn’t going to be totally miserable.
