I love ❤️ love ❤️ love ❤️ this easy and healthy dinner. It’s a lot of vegetables but there is never one bite left when I make my sheet pan chicken and veggies. There are so many health benefits from this colorful variety of vegetables but you can use some of mine and add your own favorites. I used to put the chicken and veggies all on a bare pan but the chicken made a big hard-to-clean mess so now I put the chicken only on parchment paper. (the veggies will brown better on a bare pan).
I just cut a strip of parchment paper 4 by 10-inches long and place it at the far end of the pan.
Stirring the vegetables is key so they won’t stick. Instead of setting my timer for 25 minutes, I set it for 10 minutes, remove the pan to stir all the veggies, put it back and set the timer for another 10 minutes. I stir a second time and set the timer for the last 5 minutes. By cutting the chicken into two pieces, this dinner is ready to serve as soon as it’s done.
Since I’m cooking every day, I find myself looking for easier and faster ways to make a healthy meal and I make this one often because there’s not much to do once it’s in the oven. (more time to decide on what’s for dessert – today it’s peanut butter cookies, those easy ones made without flour 😋) I digressed. Back to my easy, healthy and so delicious sheet pan chicken dinner.

p.s. I am now making my own peanut butter – – game changer! I will share it soon… Stay well, my fellow cooks!! ❤️
I make bran muffins on a “regular” basis. I freeze them and just take out one a day, put a little butter on it, and it’s my evening snack with a glass of warm milk. The combination of molasses and vanilla gives it that old school bran muffin taste. The older I get, the more I… make bran muffins.🙂 Click here for the recipe. – Jenny Jones
Some days, a big bowl of this thick and hearty soup is all I need for dinner, with one of my crusty rolls of course. Lentils are high in protein, low in fat, and have lots of health benefits. I used to have it without pureeing but once I pureed it in the food processor, I never went back. It comes out so thick and creamy, perfect for a cold winter day.
I use unsalted chicken stock but vegetarians can use vegetable stock. I sometimes add some chopped baby spinach in that last couple of minutes if I have it. Either way, lentil soup makes a healthy and satisfying meatless meal. (Don’t forget the crusty roll! 😋) Click here for the recipe. – Jenny Jones

DAWN (from Washington) MADE MY CINNAMON ROLLS
“Hi Jenny, I used an instant yeast packet and was concerned when the roll slices didn’t expand to fill up my 8-inch pan, I still had spaces between the rolls. I consulted your dough FAQ and didn’t see any other mistakes I could have made. So I followed your advice to continue on to finish baking and see how it turned out. As you see, the dough expanded when it started baking and this turned out great. And the dental floss makes it so easy. These were as good as they look! Thanks for helping me celebrate the new year! ~ Dawn Miller McKimpson, Vancouver, WA.”

JENNIFER MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD (with cranberries & walnuts)
“Hi Jenny, I actually remember your show I didn’t watch it because it wasn’t really my type of thing but I definitely remember you hosting that show. Anyway, thank you so much for the bread recipe. I’m making my fourth one tonight! This has become my Sunday night habit oh, kind of a nice way to bring happiness to a Sunday night before work tomorrow! I have noticed a lot of knockoffs here on YouTube and I called out one of the people. I think you should give credit where credit is due, to you.🤗
Anyway with that being said here is a picture of my cranberry walnut loaf. I have also made an herb bread with fresh herbs from my garden, and raisin walnut bread. All of them have been delicious. I can’t believe I used to pay $4-5 for a loaf of this bread , I think I can make it for about $1.20. I think, thinking… Tonight’s loaf be something with herbs, chia seeds and ground flax seeds. But the possibilities are endless. Wait a minute maybe a Chia and flax seed, herb cheese bread oh my! 💗 Thank you, Jennifer.”

Thank you for all you share. I love watching your videos. You make cooking look so easy. My daughter is hounding me to write my recipes down because I cook from scratch most of the time and I don’t even think of it while I am cooking. Most of what I cook is based on how I feel at the time I am cooking.”

VIORICA (from Finland) MADE MY CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES
“Dear Jenny, thank you so much for your great and well explained recipes. They always make my cooking time more and more enjoyable. My name is Viorica Bucur and I live in Finland. I tried many of your recipes and they work very well. Furthermore I posted some of my culinary creations inspired from your recipes on my instagram account: viorica4397. I would like to confess to you that from all your recipes that I’ve done till now your Easy healthier chocolate cupcakes I’ve made at least 20 times. In my opinion it’s a quite forgiving recipe because I successfully add each time in it different other ingredients such as orange extract or chocolate ganache and they are still so tasty.
In order to frost my cupcakes I used your chocolate frosting recipe with sourcream (in my first pic), 2-minute chocolate frosting (in the second pic), but also your 2-minute vanilla frosting (in my third pic) in which I also add some colour. I like also to add to frosting different berries which I pick up with my family from our forest.
Thank you again for your wonderful recipes!!! Warm hugs from cold Finland. Best regards, Viorica Bucur.”
– Thank you for these beautiful cupcakes. I visited Helsinki a few years ago on a vacation cruise – it was a wonderful experience! – jenny
ROD (from South Africa) MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD
“Hi Jenny! The no knead came out better and better every time. It is now an art form! The inside is the most perfectly cooked result I have had. Thanks. Luvya. Rod McGregor – Kelinemonde, Eastern Cape, South Africa.”
– I am SO excited to see my bread in South Africa! And such a stunning loaf. Thank you! – jenny
Try to eat just one of these light and delicious bars! They seem to melt in your mouth. This is a quick recipe that uses less sugar than most and even less butter and cream cheese in the frosting. There’s only one ounce of cream cheese and one tablespoon of butter in the frosting.
I can never seem to get the top smooth but it doesn’t matter since they’re frosted anyway. Plus, you can always frost them upside down. My oil of choice for baking is avocado oil but they’re not all the same. Look for one that is light colored and flavorless. (see my brand under “Products I Use”). I line my pan with foil for easy cleanup and I frost these bars right in the pan.
Some days I crave pumpkin pie but don’t want to work that hard. These fragrant bars are the next best thing. (My husband calls them pumpkin brownies – sounds like a ploy for me to put in some chocolate chips ? – maybe next time.) Click here for the recipe – Jenny Jones
