So my dear friend, Robin, is a working mom and has 4 kids under the age of 14. Robin has a similar style in the kitchen as me… look for recipes that are quick and easy and hope that the majority of your family will eat it without many complaints.

I had to get my hands on it – she made me promise to tell you that she “cannot cook and you cannot fail with this recipe!” – that was all I needed to hear. So I made this tonight and
