Good morning, good friends. All of today’s recipes constitute a challenge to the rest of you. Each of them could be a two-dish meal or a one-dish meal. All that is needed is a salad, and you can possibly get by without that.
So this week, as per the stellar examples below, we are looking for meals that can be prepared in advance, cooked all day in a crockpot or much more quickly on a stovetop or in an oven — recipes you can freeze to share with others later. Three of these are vegetarian, all but the lasagna are gluten-free (depending on the ingredients you choose) and all of them are adaptable if you read the ingredients in your prepared items carefully.
What’s missing here is a vegan one-dish meal, and we would also receive that with gratitude. So that is a new request: a vegan one-dish meal.
