For my whole life, my mom has been a great cook. I was lucky enough to have her throughout school as a homemaker who shuttled me around and made sure I got to eat dinner every night before or after whatever lesson or rehearsal it was I had that night.
Of course, when a family has kids who have schedules like this, there is a certain amount of “do what works” that comes out when making dinner. That is how the “regulars” are born. The recipe below became one of our family’s regulars during high school, but it is flavorful enough to survive throughout all these years. Today, it is one of my “regulars,” easy enough to be quickly made and consumed on a busy work night, but fun and interesting enough to have some friends over for a movie or game night. It even occurred to me to use this recipe on a Meatless Monday since it’s veggie based, but there’s nothing stopping us from putting it back in the rotation at some point. It’s that good….
