Hi there Reader!

For many, August means busy evenings as the kids head back to school! 🚌 📚

Of course, even those who don't have to worry about back-to-school probably enjoy easy, one-pot dinner recipes that don't require lots of time in the kitchen...am I right? 🤗

They're delicious, simple, and almost all made in 30 minutes or less! As a bonus, all of these recipes are made in just ONE POT (or one pan)...which means you won't have to spend much time on the dishes either! 🙌
