i often joke with mike that if i started another blog, it would be called the lazy chef. because even though i love to cook and bake, i cut corners whenever possible. i try to use less bowls, reduce the number of steps, measure things loosely, and never, ever sift my flour. so when one of my close friends suggested i make this amazing meal, i looked at the recipe, saw the number of hours it takes to cook, and thought: “there’s no way i’m making this. ever.”
after a super fun whirlwind weekend in LA that included disneyland, seeing both of our sisters and their significant others, helping prep a lot of delicious food for a party, and a surprise proposal (we are so excited for you, l & j, and we were so happy to be there with you for the momentous occasion!), we needed to plan a couple quick, healthy weeknight meals. and, of course, we thought about this meal.
