Spinach Spaghetti

Sneaky chef concept here.

In a not-so-sneaky way!

This has become my “go to meal” lately…for those days when a curve ball gets thrown at me…and my brain can’t seem to form a coherent thought…much less a plan for dinner.

This meal is a one pot meal. Starch, protein, veggies. All in one pot.

Easy to make, easy to clean up.

Even if it’s not so sneaky. It’s still easy.

Oh…and I imagine that we’ll be eating this often…with the spinach harvest that’s coming our way.  More on that tomorrow!
