Sometimes, I love spending a long time in the kitchen cooking. Scott will have a game on in the living room, I’ll be cooking an awesome dinner and drinking wine, and it’s really fun for me. But during the week, more often than not I am hungry and want some easy, tasty food in my stomach as soon as possible.
In this case, I have an arsenal of 20 minute meals; meals that are super easy to make and still taste great. And honestly, due to meal prepping, this dinner took me less than twenty minutes, more like 15. Which is perfect if you’re a busy student, parent or workin’ woman. I had it with a side of cauliflower (pre-cooked) that I heated up with a lot of butter. You can make whichever side you like, green beans, cheesy broccoli, mashed sweet potatoes, white rice with butter, whatever floats your boat.
Serves 2, or 1 person for lunch and dinner the next day
