10 One-Pan Dinners for Seniors Living Alone (Nothing to Scrub)

🍳 Forty years of dinners I got right, for one or two, set down in one book https://viviancooks.com/ These are ten one-pan dinners for seniors, the sheet pan dinners for one I leaned on when I came home with nothing left in me. Everything goes on one small pan, into the oven, and back out with nothing to scrub afterward. They are the easy dinners for seniors living alone that I wish someone had handed me sooner, and they make cooking for one over 60 mean a hot plate at the table instead of toast at the counter and a sink full of pots. Each one gives you the amounts, the oven temperature and the time, the swaps for whatever your kitchen is missing, and the one small habit that keeps the pan clean. Start with number nine.
