Y’all, I love my wife.  And truth be told, she’s had it tough for the last several months, for lots of reasons.  Being a full-time RN, a wife and a Mom is enough.  On top of that she’s a maid, a chauffeur, a laundress, the list goes on and on.  To add to all of this, she started nurse practitioner school at Auburn University this fall (War Eagle!).  It’s been tough for her getting back in the swing of being a full-time student and trying to balance all that life throws at her otherwise.  But she’s a trooper for taking all this on.  I can’t even imagine…

When she’s had a bad day, this is her ultimate comfort food.  It’s simple and quick and fills you with that warm feeling that only comfort food can give you.  We made it through the first semester, and with good grades to boot, but I’ve got a  feeling I’ll be making this A LOT over the next 5 semesters!

Y’all enjoy!
