A large silver skillet filled with ground beef, chopped red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion, sitting on a wooden cutting board with a checkered tea towel and a jar of dried herbs nearby. A slotted wooden spoon, stacked plates, and serving utensils rest in the background. The scene feels fresh, vibrant, and homemade.
