I love cooking but I always love a quick and easy dinner. Especially these days trying to adjust to life with a toddler and a newborn I’m pretty tired most of the time or too busy to make a time consuming dinner. I made this casserole last week and was happy how quick it was to put together and even more happy that it was so good!
I love wild rice. This was my first casserole I’ve made using wild rice in it and I just loved it. Derek isn’t a big fan of rice but he loved it too. We will be making this again next week and many more times!
