Is it just me or were we just discussing what to buy teachers at the end of the year and summer plans? Before you know those catchy Target commercials for back-to-school are back on TV and we are preparing for the holidays. An easy weeknight dinner is what we all need this time of year, so that’s where these one-pot recipes come into play.
Time Saving One Dish Meals to save time in prep and clean up! Also great for meal prep and make ahead weekday lunches! Yum!
I even saw Christmas decorations out at Michaels. Scary! I’M NOT READY!!!!
It is here, whether we like it or not. Fall brings busy schedules for the whole family and therefore time saving meals are imperative for busy weeknights. One-dish meals save time during prep, but also clean up.
Sometimes, I even make one on Sunday and use it as my meal prep for lunches during the week. Anyone can toss together a few ingredients, but these easy one dish meals are about to blow your mind and become family favorites.
Utilizing your slow cooker, dutch oven or even a cast iron skillet for skillet recipes means you spend less time making dinner, use less dishes, which means more room in the kitchen sink and an easy cleanup. It’s a win-win for everyone!
Enjoy these easy recipes and remember to come back and let us know which one was your favorite! Happy fall!
