6 Skillet Dinners to Get You Through the Week

I love cooking (obviously, I do it for a living!), but I can’t stand the mountain of dishes that creep into my sink. When cleaning takes more time than actually eating a meal, I know I’ve done something wrong.

Between my toddler’s bedtime routine, the laundry begging to be folded (don’t even get me started on putting it away), walking the dog, and watering plants (they’re all pretty much dead at this point), the last thing I need is the dishes piling up higher than my to-do list. 

My ideal dinner is on the table with just a few items to clean and put away, so I can attend to the other adulting tasks I’ve been putting off. Now that we are in the throes of the holiday season, my patience for a fussy dinner is thin, so skillet dinners are my weeknight savior. They’re convenient, require minimal cleanup, and are perfect for building flavor without the hassle of multiple dishes and appliances.
