As I was making this dish tonight I knew two things, 1. my picky 3 year old would eat something out of this meal and 2. it was taking me forever to make it with two children going bananas in the other room. Despite their efforts to pull me away from the stove I got it made and thankfully everyones bellies were full from a good dinner.
