“In cooking, as in all the arts, simplicity is the sign of perfection.”
~ Curnonsky
Less Dishes Please!
For me, the worst part of cooking is having to clean up the kitchen afterwards. I don’t like to do dishes, especially when there are lots of pans. That’s why I love one-pot and one-pan meals, so I’ve gathered together 50 of them below! All of the recipes in this roundup can be made on the stovetop or in the oven – no special equipment needed. However, if you have an Instant Pot and are looking for recipes that feature that magic device, just click the graphic below. You can tell I love this theme! Here’s to simplifying our lives in the kitchen, and in life overall.
