Yummy Quick Paella.

This may be my new favorite dinner. I'd like to say it's because it is so unbelievably yummy, which it is, but I think it is my favorite because it is just so damn easy to make. It's great for Summer given that there is not too much "actual" cooking involved, and the ingredients are pretty seasonal. Even if it is Winter where you live, the recipe calls for frozen and jarred veggies so you should not have any problem finding the necessary ingredients. 

We love it, and I hope you do too!
