September is National Family Meals Month™, a food retail industry-wide movement to raise awareness of the benefits of frequent family meals. Research shows that eating meals as a family can have far-reaching health and wellness benefits to individuals and the community. Family meals have been associated with increased diet quality, better weight management, as well as improved mental health, academic performance, and more.
That’s why my sheet pan salmon and veggie dinner is the perfect weeknight dinner for all my busy families. 63% of Americans decide what to eat less than an hour before eating*. With a little planning and a few key ingredients, this super simple dish can be all yours!
As a dietitian, I am always looking for ways to get creative with recipes and limit food waste. Sometimes that means being resourceful with ingredients that you have around the house. For example, Hellmann’s® Light Mayonnaise is not only a delicious condiment for sandwiches, but it can also be used in place of butter or oil in your cooking. Hellmann’s® Light Mayonnaise has half the calories and fat of their Hellmann’s® Real Mayonnaise, but still has all the rich, creamy taste. It’s made with certified cage-free eggs and only has 3.5g fat per serving. It’s also a Good Source of Omega 3 ALAs (contains 230mg ALA per serving, which is 14% of the 1.6g Daily Value for ALA).
Cooking for 1 or 2 people? Make this recipe and portion it out into 4 reusable containers. Now you have 4 easy lunch/ dinners ready in under an hour.
Whether you’re cooking for a family of 4 or just for you, this beyond simple one pan meal is great for everyone! To learn more about Nation Family Meals month, head on over to https://www.fmi.org/family-meals-month and spread the family meals message in September with #familymealsmonth.
