One Pan

Kid Friendly One Pan Dinner Recipes for families who need quick and healthy meals that everyone will love! A focus on whole ingredients and tons of flavor, these family friendly recipes are perfect for busy weeknights!

This collection of Kid Friendly One Pan Dinner Recipes includes over 30 recipes that are perfect for families who want an amazing meal but need a simple recipe that doesn’t create a lot of dirty dishes.

With 3 young kids and a busy schedule, I know what its like to try to fix dinner with limited time and overly tired and hungry kids. These easy one pan meals are perfect for the evenings where you need a simple dinner that you don’t have to spend a lot of mental energy on (and can maybe even do while holding a toddler on your hip?), but still want a dinner that doesn’t taste boring and bland.

These easy weeknight meals are all kid-approved and perfect for all ages, too!

These include skillet meals like Chimichurri Ground Beef and Rice that is perfect for families who need to feed toddlers, too,  as well as sheet pan dinners like Southwest Sausage Sheet Pan that are perfect for “dump and cook” meals and all kinds of other dinners you can easily cook in one pan or pot!

The least amount of dishes, the better, right?

If you can’t find what you are looking for, email me at [email protected] and let me know what one pan recipe YOU want for dinner! I will do my best to add the recipe to my collection for you!
