4 Easy and Healthy One Pan Meals

When you get finished with work, the last thing you want to do is make dinner.  We get it; there is a reason apps like DoorDash and Postmates are so popular!  With any lingering assignments you have to do or errands, like picking your kids up from school and practice, the idea of preparing an elaborate meal sounds exhausting.  And for us, we cannot stand the clean-up aspect that accompanies cooking!  That’s why it’s time to find more ways to incorporate sheet pan meals into your life!

At Minerva Dairy, we are huge fans of sheet pan meals.  They are ideal for after a busy workday, or even for meal prep for the next day’s lunch.  Instead of spending time tossing, whisking, and changing the burner’s temperature, you can sit down and let the oven do the work for you.

Another selling point of sheet pan dinners: they are typically made with very few ingredients.  Moreover, most of the ingredients needed are already sitting and waiting for you in your fridge or pantry.  Plus, the most important ingredient, Minerva’s butter, is already in your fridge begging to be enjoyed.  When the meal is done and your family is fed and happy, you are left cleaning one pan instead of multiple pots and pans.

Before you run off and start Googling sheet pan meals that are easy for you to make, you should check out the list of healthy one pan meals we already put together for you!  Look at us, saving you so much time.
