What a beautiful Mother’s Day on Sunday! We enjoyed having our daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter with us this weekend. It is always fun to have them here. We had such a pleasant time together. I hope all of you mothers enjoyed your special day. For you working moms I thought maybe some easy casserole dishes that might make your life a little easier. Casseroles are something you can make the night before and pop in the oven when you get home from work. Just add a salad and you have a meal on the table in no time. I hope they will be helpful for you.
