Stuffed Chicken Thighs with Roasted Potatoes and Carrots

This sheet pan dinner is full of flavor, and once it’s in the oven your work is done. “Usually “stuffed” means complicated and long prep. On the contrary, this recipe was easy and quick. I substituted a bag of frozen veggies and used grated cheddar cheese because I did not have mozzarella. Good weeknight dinner for a busy family!” — EAM

Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas

This meal is quicker, not to mention tastier than takeout. “After eating out so often lately because of long hours at work, I was craving a home-cooked meal but didn’t have the energy for too much prep or clean up. This satisfied all my needs AND I got to relax and enjoy a glass of wine while it was doing the brunt of the “cooking” – no active babysitting of the stovetop necessary. Talk about a winning weeknight meal. ;)” — LazyFoodieGirl
