Nothing is easier than putting tons of delicious things on one pan and then baking everything in one shot. Frankly, this is exactly how I survived feeding myself during college.

Also there's nothing like the flavor + creaminess of coconut milk, and you can't substitute anything else for it in this dish. And you won't want to! You can try playing around with the spices, but I found that the mustard + curry powder is subtle enough for picky eaters, but still packs tons of flavor. Try this with quinoa to make a hearty bowl perfect for this time of the year.
