Parents know that between work, homework, and children’s activities, there is not much time left for meal prep. Yet a balanced diet is key to the physical and mental health of our families, especially during cold and flu season.

Make life easier with sheet pan meals, a practical, quick, and delicious dinner solution.

5 reasons a sheet pan dinner is a winner

  1. Simple and quick: Just put your ingredients on a sheet pan, season, and let the oven do the rest. Less preparation means more time for yourself and your family.
  2. Easy clean-up: With just one pan to wash, you can now say goodbye to those mountains of dishes!
  3. Balanced meals: Combine proteins, veggies, and carbs on a single sheet for a well-balanced meal.
  4. Adaptable: Adjust recipes to the ingredients you have on hand and your family’s tastes.
  5. Make ahead: Prepare and marinade ingredients ahead of time and then just pop them in the oven when it’s time to eat.
