We normally go grocery shopping on the weekends, though we will pick up fresh produce and things during the week. But when I'm actually AT the grocery store, I prefer to get fresh food for that day's big meal (or for the next night) while I'm there. Nothing like getting home and thinking, "Well, crap. No idea what's for dinner tonight. Should have picked something up."
To combat this, we've started combing through my Pinterest boards for inspiration. I'm often working, so as much as I like food, I like easy meals just as much. Even better are one-pot meals that don't have a ton of clean-up. So a while ago I'd found a bunch of one-pot meals on Pinterest and went crazy pinning them.
One of the first we picked was this lovely recipe from Damn Delicious: One Pot Andouille Sausage Skillet Pasta.
The Andouille--a cajun-spiced sausage that has a little heat but nothing super overwhelming--really makes it. And even better, this recipe re-warms with the best of them. I think we ate it for three or four days straight without getting sick of it, which is a rarity for us leftover-haters. Don't get me wrong--we eat them. We may just not enjoy it as much as some people do.
How about you--do you like one-pot meals? Have a favorite? Share it in the comments!

Ohhhhhhhhhh, I LOVE one pot meals! Of course for my giant crew it's usually one vat because I feed an army. Saved this one to my recipe folder! Thanks Sarah!! BTW, I love this foodie Friday thing!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I wasn't sure how Foodie Friday would work out, but I like food as much as I like writing, lol! You could easily double most of these one-pot meals, so you could easily feed a small army with them (especially if you like leftovers). You just might need to let the pasta cook in it a little longer to make sure it's done. :-)
