I don’t know about you, but now that it’s summer life seems busier than ever! This makes it the perfect time to whip up some one pan meals, which literally combine everything into one pot to pop in oven or on the stovetop. I love that even though one pan(or pot) meals are pretty simple to prepare they can be delicious and filling.
I’ve broken these recipes out into loose categories in hopes of making them a little easier to navigate. I know a favorite of mine is this Keto friendly one pan Sausage and Vegetable Recipe. It’s SO easy and my kids gobble it up!

Here is a great guide to the best sheet pans.
