Comments
This is a simple delicious way to make a quick dinner for a whole family, have a quick and easy clean-up. A dessert idea for the working mom with this dinner is simple too.. Throw a twinkie in a bowl, top with a scoop of ice cream and your favorite toppings. We like vanilla ice cream and hot fudge with peanuts! Makes smiles all over the place!
