Pretty certain I started this post about 3 hours ago, they have now moved onto other activities. Chris just read "goodnight moon" to her and now onto a book called "my little miracle". And 5 minutes later, she's moved onto taking her evening bottle.
So I have this list at work that has "easy meals" on it- obviously it is of no good since I'm on leave. But I have a few "go-to" meals, here they are in no particular order.
- tex mex ravioli, www.southernliving.com
- mac 'n cheese + canned tomatoes + chopped up deli ham (sometimes I add green veggies), it really is better than it sounds
- chicken marinated in italian dressed, served with whatever is in the fridge or cupboard!
- breakfast (turkey sausage gravy, biscuits, and eggs)
What about you, any fast "go to" meals worth sharing?
