One-Pot Recipes for Stress-Free Cooking
You’ve heard of comfort food, but with the busy lives we all lead, maybe we can start making comfort cooking a thing! We are all busy and occupied by everything that is surrounding us. Especially now that the pandemic has added another problem we encounter every day. Doing something comforting is needed to alleviate these problems - cooking is one such thing. But with time being very limited in a day, you cannot cook for hours and then work afterward (unless you’re a chef.) It will take a toll on your body both physically and mentally. This is why there are numerous food services catered to the everyday office worker. But, these food services can't be compared to an authentic home-cooked meal.
