Meal prep lunch and dinner . Make this one pan keto eggplant lasagna with meat or without, either way, it turns out mouth-wateringly good! Easy to follow instructions, best part its ready in 30min!

On days where I just don’t want to cook or I know I have a busy week ahead with clients, group coaching calls and lab review – I don’t always get to cook a fresh meal.

This recipe is great because I always make enough for my fiancé and I for both lunch and sometimes dinner. Best part too is that it can last in the fridge for a few days so we don’t eat it back to back.

One pan meals are so efficient – takes a bit to prepare all the ingredients, but once you throw it in the oven – bam its ready! and you don’t need to be babysitting it either.

Key is to set your timer and let your oven do the work.

Once you pull it out the oven – it’s so mouth watering!

Gooey cheese, heavenly smell – but tip – don’t stick a fork in it right away – that cheese is hot!
