So I work part time and my boyfriend of almost 6 years worked swing for a while. I'd get home about 90 minutes before him. Though of course, after working a late shift at the store I didn't feel like cooking from scratch. This is one of the recipes I created when I was feeling lazy. It's still a family favorite.
