RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I work part time for a midwifery clinic and am mommy to three very busy and very hungry boys (ages 1, 9 and 10). My husband plays bass and sings in a christian band called Broken Walls ( www.brokenwalls.com ) so he is on the road alot and i am left to figure out something nutritious, fast and easy for the three of us when he is gone. My husband is an amazing cook and it comes so easy for him- which is a blessing and much appreciated after a day of work! I love recipezaar because it gives me ideas I just would never come up with on my own, and I really appreciate the enthusiasm and helpfulness of the other "chefs". I have been given some very good tips and advice.
