Comfort food at its best! This Chicken Veggie Stew really hit the spot on a chilly fall evening and let me tell you the cornbread was soooo good! I recently got a new cookbook called “The Naptime Chef”
and, while I have only made a few recipes from it so far, the concept is so smart. It is all about what you can prepare during nap time so that the dinner hour is easier. I have been using this concept all the time now seeing as with 3 kids ages 3 and under the dinner hour can be a little hectic. I hope to share some other recipes from this cookbook soon!
