Healthy One-Pot Dinners: 5 Go-To Meals For Busy Weeknights
One of my favorite ways to cook is all in one pot. Whether I use the crockpot, the instant pot or a pot on the stove, I love when my cooking efforts wind up creating a complete meal. This way I don’t have to think about making a bunch of extra sides or doing a bunch of extra dishes. I particularly dig the one-pot meals that make good leftovers so that you can cook once and eat multiple times.
Read on to discover 5 of my favorite healthy one-pot dinners. In order to make the cut, they needed to meet the following criteria:
Simple and easy to make.
Provide a healthy balance of slowly-digesting carbs, high-quality protein and healthy fats.
Easy to double/triple and taste good as leftovers.
Made with clean, whole, nutrient-dense ingredients.
Made in one pot to make clean up a cinch.
