Sheet pan dinners are perfect for busy weeknights and over-scheduled weekends. We love this salmon and potato version from Joanna Keohane of The Family Food Kitchen, but you can also swap the salmon for chicken or tofu, and use whatever veggies you’d like. Says Joanna: “You can’t beat a sheet pan dinner! The prep is minimal and you can use all those seasonal veggies you’ve been meaning to cook with! Plus [there’s] just one pan to wash.”

Summer can feel fleeting, but making a few classic summer dishes can create memories that last well after fall. One of the classics? Lobster rolls.
