Do you ever have those nights where you really don't have time to cook? I do! My daughter sometimes has what I like to call the 5:00pm blues. There are nights where she gets extremely fussy around this time and I have to devote 99% of my attention to her. That is where meals like this come in to play. I can throw all of my ingredients in to one dish and toss that sucker in the oven. This meal is quick, easy and delicious.
Tip: Do you feel like buying herbs can be expensive? I do! Mostly, because I rarely use all of what I buy. I'll just need a little rosemary, or a little thyme for a recipe and the rest usually goes to waste. The fix, plant a small herb garden. Herbs are easy to care for. Plant your herbs where they will get plenty of sun and clip them as you need them. You can start them from seedlings in April or May, depending on where you live or you can buy the small potted kind for less than $5.00. It is the gift that keeps on giving and personally saves me money and waste. In the winter, bring them inside and keep them near a sunny window.
