In our house, we have one morning each week when our family can lounge a little, stay in pajamas a little longer than usual, NOT rush out the door at 8am, not huddle in the cold at rugby or hurriedly scoff porridge before work, school and kindy.

Cook, Eat | Chicken, Leek & Spinach Pie Recipe
I have an ‘easy dinner’ method of making chicken pies for those nights when you have zero time to get some good-enough food on the table.
