One-pan meals happen at my house a lot!  It’s hot outside, so I want to be in and out of the kitchen as fast as I can. The best thing is that there are so many fresh ingredients to make such delicious meals!

 

Ever since Mike has started his healthy journey, I want to make sure I make dishes that are so incredible that he doesn’t feel like he is being punished. This dish is perfect! Healthy journey folks will love it and the rest of the family will also do the happy dance!
