One dish meals are all the rage and can you blame us? They make dinner-time such a breeze after a long day. Throw the ingredients into a pot, cook, and just like that dinner is ready. And let’s not forget about the lighter load of dishes to wash! And it’s not just pasta that can be transformed into a one pot wonder, potatoes or legumes work just as well. Here are 15 recipe ideas to try on those nights you really don’t want to cook (or clean) anything, plus they’re all on the lighter and healthier side so you’re doing two good things for yourself at the same time!

  1. Simple Beef Stew
