Mom Monday Recipe

It's a Linky over at Thinking of Teaching to link up with some yummy recipes that you can feed your family/kids!

This is one that is like a staple in my  house...it's a Pampered Chef recipe (I use a lot of those recipes..or derivatives of.)....and this is a great one to get the kids to each veggies...I do a lot of these.
