Give me 3 minutes and I’ll show you how to prep 3 healthy family dinners in under 20minutes.
You guys know there’s nothing I love more than a timesaving hack in the kitchen and prepping more than one meal at once has been such a game changer for me.
It saves me so much time and gives me a night or two off cooking dinner which is AMAZING!
These 1 tray bakes worked really well for us as it meant we had leftovers that lasted until Wednesday (I never keep things longer than 3 days) and I didn’t cook dinner for 2 nights.
These are the 3 recipes we’re making:
1. Cashew Chicken Quinoa Bake (New!)
2. Pumpkin Cauliflower Korma Bake (Updated)
3. Oven Baked Chicken and Creamy Rice – You have to try this one! Not only so so easy but OMG, one of the best things I’ve ever made.
Recipes are below! If you make them I’d love to see! Tag me on insta or facebook or send me a message!
