One Pot Wonders? Yes, we use skillets and slow-cookers for our one-pot meal workshops. After all they are pots, well kind of, so why not think of a shallow roasting pan as a pot?  One pot meals are simply those cooked  in one container;

Follow this link for the featured recipe which calls for  trimmed  green beans, chunks of sweet potato brushed with olive oil and spices. They are tossed in a shallow pan and roasted as per their directions. We enjoyed them after roasting but followed the recipe by glazing and cooling then for a tasty salad.

But , since I believe that if you’re going to make a mess, you might as well make a big mess, I sautéed some onions, mushrooms and Adelle’s apple chicken sausage to add to the original recipe. After bagging and labeling we now have enough for two more meals. serve  Serve a leafy-green salad, fruit and dairy on the side for a balanced meal. And don’t forget the pure water.
