The days have been crazy with juggling kids schedules, drop-offs and pick-ups, sick kids and work, of course! I do feel like I’m being super productive when I’m working (either day job – running a small natural products manufacturing business – I shared more about it when I shared this 5-ingredient rigatoni with eggplant and chorizo or when I’m working on the blog business side of things) but it’s just sheer volume of work.
I know it all ebbs and flows, and this is just one of those times that I have to put in a little extra work and then it will all go back to being a more manageable amount of work soon.
As you may have gathered from the post on buffalo cauliflower nuggets…I love asking people what they make for dinner. This cheesy beef and noodle casserole concept was shared to me by a fellow mom. She said that while it may sound weird, the ingredient combination of beef, cheese, diced tomatoes, green beans and egg noodles was amazing and that her kids loved it.
I made this 5 ingredient cheesy beef and egg noodle casserole and have to admit that while making it I was a little skeptical…but seriously, it was SO good and I’ve seen made this casserole recipe a bunch of times, and everyone that has it LOVES it!
