50 One-Pot Meals (‘Cause I Hate Doing the Washing Up!)

50 One-Pot Meals (‘Cause I Hate Doing the Washing Up!)

The worst thing about preparing meals is the complete chaos that is left in the kitchen when you’re done.

There are pots and pans everywhere! Who’s gonna clean that up? Nope, not me.

I have to admit, this really puts me off cooking — knowing there’s a a lot of dishes to clean afterward. I have things to do and there is wine to drink!

I can’t be wasting time putting together 5,000 different elements only to leave 3 hours of washing up as a reward.
