"After whipping up a meal, stuffing my face, and entering an inevitable food coma, the absolute last thing that I want to do is clean up the mess that I left behind. There’s truly nothing like a sink full of dirty dishes to make me never want to cook again. The only thing that makes the chore a bit easier? Opting for easy, no-mess recipes that don’t leave a pile of dishes behind.
chronic fatigue, you better count your days
If a recipe has the words sheet pan, one-pan, or Instant Pot in the title, I’m all ears. The less I have to clean up after meal prepping and/or indulging in my meal, the better. These easy recipes are here to save the day and make your to-do list exponentially shorter. Oh, and they also happen to taste as if Gordon Ramsay whipped them up with his own two hands. You’re welcome.
