    Make dinner a simple, no hassle meal but still super delicious and one the whole family will love. Bring the family together in the evenings and enjoy!

Sheet Pan meals like this Parmesan Crusted Steak and Potato version, or Baked Cashew Chicken make for less mess and more flavor. And don't forget these Instant Pot Carnitas--a fan favorite!
