8 Scandinavian Healthy Habits We Should Steal from Our Nordic Neighbours
If you’re a longtime reader of The Health Sessions or a follower on Facebook or Pinterest, you might have noticed my love for sheet pan dinners.
And for good reason: these meals made on one oven tray require little hands-on cooking, especially if you’re able to buy pre-cut vegetables or proteins. Not having to constantly keep an eye on the stove helps you to save precious energy and reduces your mental load, while still putting a healthy dinner on the table. Plus, you also have less cleaning up to do – who doesn’t love that?
Because you can keep the meal components separately on the sheet pan, one-tray dinners can also be a good solution for households with food intolerances, picky eaters and different dietary needs. Sheet pan dinners are also a great way to reduce food waste, since they allow you to use up a mix of leftover produce.
