Let’s face it: cooking takes time. And the more components there are for one particular meal, the longer it will take to prepare. That’s why I love one-skillet meals. You throw everything in ONE pot (or skillet, dutch oven, etc.) and forget about preparing side dishes or appetizers. One-skillet meals also work great in the slow cooker, which can save you even more time. Finally (this is the best part) one-skillet meals FREEZE incredibly well! So, if you can set aside one day every week to cook up a storm, you can prepare several meals for your family. All they’ll need to do is reheat, and enjoy. So if you find yourself running non-stop throughout the day, these recipes might be perfect for your next family style dinner! – Kara
