This was a quick dinner to make – and while kind of trashy due to a few processed foods used was tasty. Sometimes I am OK with cheating! A momma has to do what she can!

I think we’ll sympathise and let you cheat! Looks yummy.
If it gives you 5 more minutes to yourself its worth it!
“trashy”…you crack me up!
It is my inner guilt coming through 😉
