Getting Dinner on the Table

20120528-142852.jpg

When I get home from work during the week, the last thing I want to do is cook dinner. I’m exhausted from the day, and I just want to spend time playing with my babies. And some days I just want to go straight to bed.

But until I hire a cook, I have little choice in the matter. So, I make a weekly plan with my arsenal of easy dinners.

And I mean easy.

For a recipe to make the cut, one or more of the following has to be true of it:

1) it’s simple enough for bigSIS to help make it
2) the slow cooker does the work and dinner is ready when we walk in the door
3) it can be whipped up before an episode of Doc McStuffins is over

I know. One day I’ll have time to get fancy in the kitchen, right?? And one day I’ll have a fancy kitchen, right???

Until then, here’s a recipe that I’ve been making for a few months that meets criteria 1 and 3. It’s one of many from Kraft Foods that I make that is easy and yummy.
