I like to keep recipes real simple. If it takes more than 30 minutes to prep, chances are you won't find me cooking it. I'm a busy Mom and spending my time cooking isn't #1 on my to do list. I do like eating though. So you can count on some tasty family friendly dishes made from real ingredients.
If you are new here. Firstly - Welcome! You may want to take a look at how I go about stocking my pantry and also a little on how I do meal planning for the week.
