Quick Tip: Cooking with Less Dishes

Quick Tip: Cooking with Less Dishes

I find there are two main reasons I don't feel like cooking a healthy meal. Either I am pressed for time or I don't want to do the dishes after. The first I will need to take up with my busy lifestyle but the second I have a quick fix for. Use fewer dishes so cleanup goes quicker.

I made our whole meal last night on a cookie sheet with a cooling rack on top. I normally would have used three pans to cook up some Dijon Chicken, roasted broccoli and parmesan potatoes. Instead I take a cookie sheet and cover it with olive oil or parchment paper. Then I line my vegetables on the bottom, top with a cooling rack and place the chicken on top. Not only does the chicken crisp up better and cook faster because the air is circulating all around it but clean up goes much quicker. Give it a try if you are feeling dreary about dishes but still want to commit to cooking a healthy meal.
