I'm at a course all of this week and having to travel about 3 hours a day to attend. Although I'm coming home everyday it doesn't leave me much time to make Leah nutritious meals. Next week I'm going to be busy with work again and won't be here one night, which the husband is a bit concerned about - so this recipe will be great to freeze so he can just grab one out ready for little miss. Bonus!
