Dinner!

Heeelllllloooooooooo blogger!

Tonight I am making something completely made up by me for me (oh and those people who keep hanging around me calling me "wife" and "mom").

It is cheap, cheerful and tasty. It's also a use up what I have on hand kinda dish. Soo here it goes. Sorry I was going to take a picture but my family inhaled it before I could. I guess that's a ringing endorsement.
