Maybe it's because March, April, and May seem to be the pinnacle months in my work life - I put so much creative energy out that it becomes difficult not to feel like a wet mop most days - not to mention string a few words together!

Anyways, with everything in full swing now, it becomes that much more important to practice good self care and to have a few healthy in a hurry go to recipes for weeknight dinners.

Today's original recipe fits that bill!
