One Pan Lime Glazed Salmon Dinner

I love one pan meals! I don’t have a bunch of pans to babysit and clean up is a cinch.

Potatoes: 2Continue reading “One Pan Lime Glazed Salmon Dinner”

Jerk Chicken Gyros

Meatball Pesto Pasta

My go-to “I don’t want to cook” dinner. 4 simple ingredients: pasta, pesto, meatballs and parmesan cheese. I had a tomato I needed to use, so I chopped that up and tossed it in too. A simple chopped salad and homemade dinner rolls I had stashed in my freezer on the side. Making a bigContinue reading “Meatball Pesto Pasta”
