We split our time between a van and sailboat, so space is a major issue for us. Our kitchen area is tiny, we have very limited counter space, and we just don’t have as many burners. Our cooking range is really small too, so we really can’t cook anything that takes more than one pot….
We split our time between a van and sailboat, so space is a major issue for us.
Our kitchen area is tiny, we have very limited counter space, and we just don’t have as many burners. Our cooking range is really small too, so we really can’t cook anything that takes more than one pot. Oh, and we don’t even have the storage space for tons of pots either.
I know that’s not the case for everyone, and one pan meals are still great options for anyone who lives in a traditional home – they simplify meal time!
So today, I have a great list of one pot meals for you to try. There are several vegetarian and vegan options, there are some delicious looking comfort food recipes, and a fun take on egg rolls. And more!
Personally, I’m really excited about the lemon spaghetti with spinach. The lemon seems like it will the dish taste refreshing and light, and adding spinach makes it a nice healthy meal.
These one pot recipes don’t require a ton of prep work either, and most of them only take around 30 minutes to cook. This makes them good for weeknight dinners, especially if you’re feeling busy and are tempted to go out to eat.
If you end up with extra, I think all of these meals would make great leftovers that you can bring to work for lunch. That will help you save even more money on your food spending!
Doing things like meal planning, making a grocery list, and packing your lunch are some of the easiest and best ways to save money. You’re also less likely to go out to eat when you have ideas like the ones on this list, and that means you are probably eating healthier food than what you would eat at a restaurant.
Note: If you’re looking for easy weekly meal plans, full of budget recipes, I recommend $5 Meal Plan. $5 Meal Plan is a meal planning service that sends you a delicious meal plan and shopping list every week for just $5 a month. This is another way to simplify dinner time and get excited about trying new meals.
