20 Easy One Pot Meals

Mike has been doing a lot of traveling for work lately. Not just one or two day stretches but four or five day stretches. I am not complaining but I am going to admit that by dinner time I am exhausted.  I wish I had the energy of my three year old.  I know everyone has those busy days where they just don’t have the energy or the time to make an elaborate meal that requires 5 different pots and a lot of clean up. One pot meals to the rescue and boy have they rescued me.

Today I am sharing 20 Easy One Pot Meals from some of my fellow food bloggers.  I picked a variety of chicken, vegetarian and other meat options including seafood.  I hope everyone can find something to satisfy their appetite!
