Worried about what to fix for dinner? Problem Solved.

One Pan meals are becoming a standard at our house. I always remember my mom making several dishes to put on the table. Anything cooked in a pan was put in a serving dish before being set on the table. It was just the way things were. We didn’t use cloth napkins but my mom did teach me how to set a nice table, complete with a center piece.

It was nice to sit down as a family, but afterwards there was always the task of dish duty. I was usually the one who was in charge of hand washing.

In fact all these years later I feel like I am still in charge of hand washing the pots and pans so whenever I come across a meal I can make in just one pot, or skillet I am totally on it.

Dinner doesn’t have to be a big production, but having dinner together should definitely be a priority. Meals that are a snap to fix, are a lifesaver. Make this for your family and I think they will agree that this is one of their favorites.

This is what Christina of Eat Well 101 has to say about this incredible recipe.

One pan chicken and Potatoes with Garlic Parmesan Cream Sauce makes for a nourishing dish perfect for a weeknight. Chicken thighs and potatoes are pan-seared, then finished in a delicious creamy sauce that perfectly combines all the flavors of garlic, tomato, spinach, spices and cheese. It’s truly an entire meal in a single skillet!

Quick Tip: For a leaner version of this dish make it with boneless skinless thighs or chicken breast.

Make “The Other White Meat” for dinner tonight. No Hobby Farm Required!

In 1990, our family moved from CA to MN and lived in a small midwest town for nine years.  When we first moved there, we purchased a small hobby farm. The old farm site had several outbuildings, including an old grain mill, a milking barn, and a pig barn.

Well, we weren’t planning to tackle the effort of getting a cow or planning to plan wheat, but because the prices were down and we were young enough to feel optimistic about everything, we decided to buy a few piglets and raise them for market, keeping one for ourselves.

Long story short, we ended up with 50 piglets that we raised to butchering weight. That is a lot of food and after cleaning up the barn several times, well, let’s just say that whatever goes in must come out.

Even just walking through the barn left your clothes and hair smelling like Eau de Piglet.

In the end, we were able to sell all the pigs at the highest market price because of what we had fed them. They were big, but they were very lean. Now that we have lived through that, I appreciate paying for a few pounds of pork we didn’t have to raise ourselves. There is always an adventure in learning something new, but sometimes it is easy to bite off more than you can

Now that we have lived through that, I appreciate paying for a few pounds of pork we didn’t have to raise ourselves. There is always an adventure in learning something new, but sometimes it is easy to bite off more than you can chew :~)
