Simplicity= sheet pan meals. One pot meals are great, but one pan meals are even better! I like to line my sheet pans with parchment paper to minimize the mess.  This Teriyaki Glazed Salmon with crispy, flavorful roasted broccoli is one and done in less than 30 minutes.

True story: I haven’t always been such a great cook. Now I thought  I was; I have always loved being in the kitchen and trying new recipes but it took awhile for me to start creating *REALLY GOOD* recipes on my own. My husband endured the OK recipes and his patience paid off– I think […]
