As mom’s we all await the dreaded question… ‘What’s for Dinner?’
I’ve gotta admit… sometimes, I’m not quite on top of my day and I have no idea what to make for dinner! I love it though when I can keep a couple of quick things in the pantry to whip up at a moments notice.
Horizon Fiesta Mac and Cheese is one of those fabulous to-the-rescue meals!
