Lazy...and no desire or time for washing more than one pan when we are done with the meal. That's a good way to describe me lately. I threw what we liked together in a pot and this is what I came up with.
I can see several substitutions and additions to this dish that would be just as wonderful. Some ideas I had were to substitute chicken broth for the water and using some chopped veggies (like squashes) from the garden.
