One Pot Recipes

Everyone who knows me knows I hate doing dishes, so trust me when I say these one pot meals are lifesavers. They’re full of flavor, easy to throw together, and won’t leave you with a mountain of cleanup after dinner. Whether it's a creamy skillet chicken or a quick Lemon Garlic Salmon Orzo, these recipes bring big taste with minimal mess.

Start with the viral Marry Me Chicken, it’s rich, creamy, and all done in one pan. You may get a marriage proposal after all. You can check out my Marry Me Chicken video to see if I was proposed to after making it!

For a really quick meal with no mess, you can try the Din Tai Fung Inspired Shrimp Fried Rice for a takeout style dinner that comes together fast (and tastes even better the next day).

Hi, I'm Lola

Just your not so average girl next door who loves all things food. I was born in Paris, France to a tribe of women who love to cook and bake! I bring you quick and easy recipes from all over the world, but my heart (and taste buds) belong to Mediterranean cuisine. As a mom and stepmom to four kids, quick and delicious is my goal!
