I was given this recipe several years ago by a very busy working mother. She was a professional and worked very long days but she always managed to put a nice hot meal on the table for her family. While I think she was a great mother, I don’t think there was anything extraordinary about that. Most moms I know or grew up with did the same. That is the wonderful thing about moms. They can take a simple recipe and with a little love, it becomes a tasty and comforting dinner time staple.
