Insomnia does a stomach good

Yesterday I made yummy Lemon Pancakes and this killer casserole at 3 AM. OMG so good. Insomnia does a stomach good ;)

Seriously though the insomnia thing is getting me down. Any suggestions are welcomed. I do really think once my stitches are out life will be better they are starting to prick me and drive me insane.

Anyway, back to the casserole... this is a total comfort food dish. I made it in the morning and nuked a portion for dinner. If you aren't into thyme another herb (oregano, basil) can be subbed but man the thyme, chicken, dijon combo rocks. Hope you enjoy it.
