I am busy. There is just no other way to say it or sugar coat it. I value sharing a meal with my husband and kids daily and when I can’t I feel like I am missing something. Their conversation, their banter-even their arguing! My husband and I hold court with our sons over dinner. It’s the way we have been doing it for years and I like it. So I have to, I NEED to, have a pocketful of recipes on hand for busy nights. Healthy recipes that we all like. Something to keep us out of the “tired of eating at home’ doldrums.
Follow the directions carefully on this one. Drain the veggies like I mention in the recipe. That way your base will have a smooth, creamy consistency. This is a good one people. Make it, you won’t regret it ????
I used the creamy, smooth Country Crock margarine for this recipe because it helps me trim the fat and calories that typical casseroles can have.
