"it's nothing extremely special" - perhaps not but it looks really good from here.
I've missed too much in my absence, Jenn. I'm thrilled to hear about the baby, as I know you must be. Stay well. Blessings...Mary
Quick and delicious...what more could you ask for a comforting meal?
It looks like a delicious meal for both you & the baby.
Try checking out cookbooks from the library. I always find inspiration from them - plus you can view a book for free before you buy it! :)
Looks good Jenn. Why don't you eat mac and cheese and fries every other night. 150 pounds wouldn't be all that bad. :)
I've kind of had a "I don't feel like cooking" rut going for weeks now. Trying to make myself get over it. On the bright side, I'm not pregnant.
