Jennifer's Southwestern Skillet Dinner
If you’ve been around writers for any length of time, you likely know two things: 1) It’s not the most lucrative profession, and 2) when deadlines hit, there’s likely time for little else. Therefore, we’re always looking for quick, easy, and economical meals that can allow us to feel as if we haven’t completely neglected our family. I suspect all women trying to juggle the demands of family, careers, and just plain life can relate. If so, I hope you find this time-and-budget friendly meal helpful.
