Back-to-School One-Pan Dinners

By

Hi, guys!

School is back in session this week, and I’m a little on the fence how I feel about it. Obviously, there are pros and cons to all seasons, so looking at the bright side, I actually love settling back into more of a routine. Summer is SO FUN, but all of the travel and adventures definitely had an impact on my normal eats and exercise. It’s time to get back to some sort of normal – whatever that looks like!

I wanted to share a back-to-school recipe round-up with some of my favorite one-pan weekday dinners that can be thrown together quickly and effortlessly. Meal planning becomes so much more important once school is in session again. Plus, I kinda hate having the “what’s for dinner talk?” after a long day when I’m hungry (hangry?) and just want to eat! These meals are truly some of our absolute favorite dinners, so you’ll likely see them popping up over on my Instagram account in the coming weeks. I hope they make your evenings easier as well!

One-Pan BBQ Chicken Bacon: One of Mal’s favorite recipes – thanks to bacon! I almost always have these ingredients in our kitchen, which makes it an easy last-minute meal. Feel free to use chicken thighs or breasts, whatever you have on-hand will work.

One-Pan Sweet Potato Hash: This 3-ingredient meal comes together in no time at all, especially if you use pre-cut sweet potatoes. You can use ground chicken, turkey, or beef in this recipe, so you can try something different every time you make it!

Cowboy Caviar Cauliflower Rice Bowl: Trader Joe’s saves the day yet again! Just a couple of pantry and freezer-friendly TJ’s staples has this dinner on the table in minutes. Plus, I just toss frozen cauliflower rice in the microwave if I’m feeling really lazy – some nights you just gotta get food on the table!

Easy Chicken Fajitas: One-pan meals are the best for busy weeknights when you need to multi-task. Just toss these ingredient in the oven while you take care of something around the house. Pair these fajitas with tortillas or use as a delicious salad topper – and don’t forget to add some guacamole!

One-Pan Roasted Kielbasa and Veggies: This sheet pan dinner is a great option when you have a bunch of veggies lurking in the produce drawer that need to be used up. Just about any veggies will work and you can substitute chicken sausage if you prefer!

One-Pan Chicken Taco Skillet: This meal tastes even better on day 2, so it’s the perfect Sunday meal prep choice. Make a big batch (or double and freeze!) and simply reheat when the family gets home!

One-Pan Parmesan Caesar Chicken: This is a brand new CNC recipe, but it’s already been requested multiple times by the men in this household. Ok, well, maybe just Mal since Quinn is still hit or miss with most foods. Either way, it’s a great one-pan meal for a quickie and seriously delicious dinner.

Question of the Day

What’s your favorite busy weeknight dinner?

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
