Summer is officially almost over, which means the need to get back into a normal schedule for the school year. One thing my mom always made sure of was that we had a home cooked meal at least 5 times a week, to enjoy eating out on the weekends. For me as a new mom, I know that cooking at home is SO difficult while having an eight month old son. While I would never change this for the world, I do know it makes me prone to wanting to eat out more. Not only to save the hassle of cooking, but cleaning up a messy kitchen. I am always on the search for an easy recipe I can make at home while my son is napping. Something that doesn’t leave a huge mess, and can be made easily. The result of that search are these recipes I found that use literally only one pan (or pot) to cook in! Check out these super easy recipes that only require one cooking tool to cook in!
