It's getting nicer outside and the last thing that I want to do is spend a lot of time inside.  The days are longer and I would rather be outdoors than inside cooking these days.  Lately, I've been doing a lot of - what I like to call - lazy cooking.  The easier, the better.  I'm all about "set it and forget it" mode.  I make a lot of crock pot recipes or throw a protein on my indoor grill and a side in the oven. But I realized that I could make everything on one pan and be done!

I've seen a lot of one pan meals circulating across social media.  Most one pan meals that I've seen consist of a lean protein and lots of colorful veggies. We eat with our eyes first, so these meals are all around satisfying.  I recently made my first one pan meal.  Can you believe I've been cooking with multiple dishes up until now?  Making a meal on one baking sheet was so easy and so tasty, too!

I like cooking.  I find it relaxing.  It's why my blog is mainly food focused, after all.  But some nights, I just don't have it in me.  That's why I'm thankful to have One Pan & Done now in my arsenal of cookbooks.  Upon receiving this book, I flagged so many recipes!  The first recipe that I couldn't wait to make was this jerk chicken dish.  It was so quick and easy to make, and the perfect mix of sweet and savory flavors.

The next time that I make this dish, I might add a little more cayenne to it.  I might even add some fresh hot peppers to the mix of bell peppers.  It didn't have as much of a kick as I wanted it to, but it was still pretty flavorful.  The veggies and the pineapple, however, were perfect!  I loved the char on everything and how the sweetness of the pineapple balanced out the dish.

If you don't want to spend a lot of time cooking, but want a delicious, wholesome meal (and some helpful kitchen tips, as well), this is the cookbook for you.  There are plenty of one pan recipe ideas from breakfast to dessert.  I love that I can throw all of my ingredients on a pan, shut the oven door, and be done.
