Weeknight dinners can be challenging. You’re tired from a long day, probably hungry and the last thing you want to do is spend a lot of time in the kitchen making dinner.

I have a solution for you: One Pan Dinners!

You can prep these fully ahead of time, or simply do a partial prep ahead of time and assemble at dinner time, throughout the week. By assesmble, I simply mean putting them on a sheet pan and into the oven – nothing is more simple!

I hope that these recipes make your weeknights that much easier! Let me know which ones that you want to try.
