Wednesdays in my house are typically crazy busy. From the time the kids get home from school, we race around getting homework completed, bags packed back up for the next day, my daughters dance class, and any other chores that were missed from the day.

Needless to say, dinner prep typically gets skipped and I opt for meals either “on the go” or quick/easy.

When I first had kids and they were still in the newborn/toddler stage, I would picture life being so much easier once they were older. Fast forward to the kids now being older and I find myself reflecting how simple life was when they were small. Now, I need to drive three kids to three different places and it always seems to be at the exact same time. Time is one of those things we never seem to have enough of, haha!

I came across a version of this recipe on Pinterest the other day and knew I had to try it. It looked incredibly simple, quick, and just the thing to make on a busy night!

I changed it up a bit to use ingredients I already had on hand! We added fresh avocado chunks to ours and let me tell you, if you love avocado, that is a must try addition!
