Cooking a nutritious meal after a long day at work can sometimes be overwhelming. One great way to reduce the effort – and the dishes afterward – is to cut-up your produce before leaving the house in the morning and then cook everything using one pot when you come home. Soups are an obvious choice for this kind of meal, and there are lots dishes that you can make with a slow cooker (which are more energy efficient than the stove). The nice thing, too, is that when different foods simmer together their flavors blend in delicious ways.

Today, challenge yourself to find a one-pot recipe and plan a day for simplifying dinner by cooking a one-pot meal.
