Effortless One Skillet Weeknight Dinner

I’ve heard from plenty of friends and readers how it can be such a hassle to have to make dinner for the entire family during the week. While I absolutely love cooking, finding the time in the day to dedicate an hour plus to just cooking is a constant struggle. Every week, I plan out each night’s meal in advance, challenging myself to cook at least 5 nights a week. Not only does it save my family money, but it’s way healthier than ordering out.

A group of my friends and I started a “Post Your Dinner” group on Facebook, where each night we snap a photo of our spreads to share what we are preparing, and what works for the kids. It’s been a great resource for new ideas, or fresh spins on the same redundant meals. 

Last week, one friend posted this incredible Shrimp Scampi dish with whole wheat couscous, tomatoes, and green beans. We all commented how incredible it looked. Usually, we share our recipes in the comments section, and I was surprised to see that she used Knorr One Skillet Meals Shrimp Scampi with Whole Wheat Couscous! During my next trip to the grocery store, I picked up that flavor, along with three others.

Knorr^® One Skillet Meals are delicious meal starters featuring organic ancient grains and whole wheat couscous seasoned with herbs and spices, minus the artificial flavors or colors from artificial sources. One Skillet Meals are ideal if I want to cook a nutritious meal for the fam, but I am strapped for time. Which seems like always!

With six varieties to choose from, all the meals can be prepared using just one skillet (hello easy clean up!), and full cook time will not exceed 35 minutes! Score! 

Last week, I made the Shrimp Scampi and the kids lapped it up! 

Other One Skillet Meals I enjoy, include:

• Knorr One Skillet Meals Steak & Peppers with Brown Rice and Quinoa
• Knorr One Skillet Meals Southwestern Chicken with Brown Rice and Quinoa
• Knorr One Skillet Meals Moroccan Style Chicken with Barley
• Knorr One Skillet Meals Lemon Chicken with Barley
• Knorr One Skillet Meals Rustic Italian White Bean with Farro (Vegetarian Option)

Knorr One Skillet Meals have made dinners efficient and delicious, and helped add some new meal ideas into the rotation! I have a feeling my next post to my friends in our Facebook group will probably include one of these meal starters!
