-New Urban YUM! - What to Cook This Weekend? Sheet Pan Dinner Ideas to Keep You In "Chill Modus" from now until Monday
The weekend is here (hurrah!), and perhaps you're putting together your supermarket plans for some good Sunday cooking. Looking for quick cooking ideas that are not only speedy to prepare but flavorful and simple? Why not try a sheet pan style dinner? A great alternative to a one-pot dinner, or complex recipe with too many moving parts, sheet pan dinners enable you to get a streamlined, delicious meal to your table in an hour or less with ease and simplicity. Simplicity for us is one sheet pan with backpapier, very basic ingredients, less active time needed for cooking- translating into easy clean-up and more importantly, more time for other activities without sacrificing taste or the comfort of a warm, hot meal. Check out some of the yummiest sheet pan combinations we curated in the recipes below from some of our favorite cooks around the web:
