Sometimes, Kian travels for work or is not able to make it home for dinner with us. So, with Bella's and Jamie's busy schedule and after school activities, I make one dish meals quite a few times in a week. These meals are simple enough to be prepared in a snap for weeknight dinners but special enough for guests as well.
