The note for the husband. This whole working 2nd shift, is getting a bit lonely, but I'm glad he'll have a great dinner to enjoy! :)



I started this at 9:30pm last night, and when I woke up the next morning at 5:30am. It was ready to pack up and bring for lunch! Perfect!



This is such an easy first recipe that I tried, and I most likely will make it again. :)
