Print RecipeWeeknight cooking is always a struggle for me. I work full time and have multiple horses to ride, and I'm often eating dinner at 8:00 or 9:00 PM. I'm not good at meal planning or making things in advance unless it's something like slow cooker salsa chicken or soup. Sheet pan meals are an easy way to knock out dinner after I'm wiped out from working all day and running straight to the barn to ride. Sweet Peas and Saffron has a great post with 24 tasty sheet pan meal recipes. Bonus: Her post includes meal prepping tips for those who are better about that than I am!
