Looking for a quick dinner idea? Cheesy chicken and rice is the perfect casserole for the busy family during the week. I love these simple ingredients! Comfort food at its finest for everyone in the family.
How are you adjusting to the kids being back in school? Have you found your new normal?
Are you smarter than a fifth grader? How many peanut butter and jelly sandwiches have you made so far? My pantry seems to run of out snacks before mid-week.
Coming home from work, nothing is better than preparing an easy meal, from start to finish for the family. If you are lucky, you might have some leftovers.
I love this casserole, and it makes plenty of leftovers. Kids are taking more meals to school now, so I need all the help I can get!
