I do love a one pot meal - ideal for weekdays and also veggie packed. We love scan and shop here, although I usually do a full grocery shop online. When i do have to go to the store, it's almost rather fun!

What a great idea for dinner in such a short amount of time! Definitely saving this. I've been so busy the past few weeks, a proper dinner has just not happened some nights. I've resorted to takeout or grazing more than I should. Recipes like this would solve that problem, in a completely delicious way!
