Description
In times of busyness, I turn towards dinners that are filling, nutritious, and super easy to make. This Curry dish fits the bill. It took me 15 minutes to prep and a little longer to let it do its thing on the stove while I cleaned up.
This is where a well-stocked pantry really comes in handy. In my house, I already had all the ingredients except for the cauliflower. A quick run into the store for 1 item and dinner was in the works.
Try these simple, flavorful recipes the next time you’re busyness is catching up with you too.
