Dinner does not have to be complicated. We love a quick and easy dinner… for example, made with gnocchi. For that reason, we normally have a package of pre-made gnocchi from the store in the fridge. You can do a lot with these potato dumplings and in most cases, the preparation is done in no time! Same for this delicious Easy Chorizo Gnocchi Pan here. Spain meets Italy and everyone is happy about it ;)
Working with leftover food is an essential part of food preparation when you want to save some money and maybe do something good for the environment. Just throwing stuff away the next day because you do not want to eat the same thing twice is stupid (sorry if I say that so bluntly). You can always change things up and make something new with what you had the day before. The best example here – this One-Pot Orzo with leftover Roasted Chicken. An easy recipe that is ready in no time and absolutely delicious!
I like me a good salad. Especially in summer when it’s warm outside. The time of year when you want to spend as little time as possible in the (warm) kitchen ;) Isn’t it much better to spend the time outside on the terrace or in the garden? You can prepare your dinner outside as well… on a grill, for example. Who would have thought it ;P For this simple Italian Pasta Salad you have to plan a little kitchen time though because – unless you can cook some pasta on your grill. Some of these big boys can do that, right? ;)
There are things we almost always have in our fridge – a bag with fresh gnocchi from the supermarket. Whenever you are in a hurry and don’t feel like cooking those pre-cooked potato dumplings are perfect. You just have to warm them and slap on some pesto, for example. That’s it. Cooking is done. Today I got a recipe to make simple gnocchi with paste a bit fancier: delicious (and easy to prepare) Gnocchi with Mushrooms, Asparagus, Pesto & Burrata. So good!
Casserole dishes are great when you want to feed a family or a larger crowd… without too much work in the kitchen. When I was a child my mom often made something like this Cheesy Pasta & Ham Bake and I still love eating it. Something kids and adults like – simply delicious and very easy to prepare. What else could you want? ;P
I guess you are one of those people that does not want to spend much time in the kitchen preparing food. Otherwise, you would not end up here on this page with a one-pot pasta recipe ;) Well… welcome to the club! This Vegan One-Pot Pasta is delicious and does not need more than 30 minutes to be on your table, ready to eat. Sounds great, doesn’t it?
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
