I love your recipes. FYI, some of the pics in this list appear to be out of order.
Love, love, love your recipes!!!! So much color and great ingredients! OF COURSE, FANTASTIC FLAVOR!!!
One question…are you aware of any easy way to substitute soy ingredients for non-soy containing ingredients? I have a soy allergy, not fatal but enough to avoid it.
Hi Tracy, Thanks much, glad you are enjoying. When you say soy ingredients…do you mean soy sauce? I’ve seen coconut amino acids which could replace that. Or do you mean Tofu?
We just made the harissa chicken and it was amazing! We left out the spice for my 10 month old baby and he liked it. My husband doesn’t like many veggies but loved the onion and sweet potatoes! Now we are just trying to decide what to try next!
Oh great to hear! Glad you all enjoyed!
Love your website so much. I really look forward to every post. Thanks Deborah
Great article!
Thanks for sharing this useful piece of information
This can really help someone who’s a beginner
Thank you for including vegan!! It feels like everyone has different dietary requirements at our house and any recipe that can be adapted to meet several needs is ah-mazing in my book. These are all awesome, colorful, healthy options for all of us!
Thanks Laura!!!
I agree , but I do wish the substitutions were a bit more creative than just “sub tofu for the meat” in nearly every dish. I like tofu as much as anyone, but there are so many other plant-based protein options!
Hi Kele, tell me some of your favorites! Besides Tempeh! 😉
Hi Sylvia,
I love your sheet pan recipes. It is not that I’m lazy but … after eating a great meal I would rather kick back with a glass of wine than spend a lot of time cleaning the kitchen. These one pan dishes make it a lot easier. I have made four of the recipes listed and a couple variations using vegetables from my garden. I find it amusing to think of my growth as a chef the past few years. Your website has introduced me to ingredients, spices and herbs I had never tried before. Now you have me thinking about cooking a great meal and not having a big mess to clean up. Thanks for sharing your recipes and thanks for the inspiration.
