Sheet pan and foil packet meals are simple ways to add more vegetables that don’t require much hands-on time or kitchen clean-up. They save time and don’t require a lot of cooking skills. So, they’re great for home cooks with limited experience in the kitchen. Save more time on busy weeknights. Clean and chop up veggies when you first get back from shopping. Makes it easier to pull together a meal when time is more limited. These foil packets from Mrs. T’s combine frozen and pre-cooked ingredients, along with lots of veggies and a freshly prepared dressing. It’s a great idea for a home-cooked dinner when you have a packed schedule and little time to cook.
