With the holiday season in full swing, it's easy to focus on cookies, co*cktail party appetizers, holiday meals and cookies all over again! All the while, the lowly weeknight meal gets forgotten and healthy fare takes a backseat to holiday cooking and baking. In fact, it's tempting to just to throw in the towel and say, "Cookies for all! Let's just start the healthy eating on January 1st!"

But one thing I've learned about the holiday season is that indulging occasionally on your favorite holiday fudge is much more enjoyable when you've been eating healthy lunches and dinners, such as (comfort food at its best!), Slow Cooker Hoisin Chicken (easy prep!) or (our all-time favorite cold weather meal). And it's all made even better when those meals are easy to throw together!

Sheet pan meals to the rescue! I pulled out some boneless, skinless chicken thighs, along with my favorite Creamer potatoes from The Little Potato Company and whipped up a flavorful chimichurri sauce, a classic herbal sauce from Argentina. I tossed the chicken and Baby Boomer potatoes (though you can substitute another Creamer varietal) with some of the sauce, setting aside some of the sauce for drizzling later. Thirty minutes later, a healthy, delicious dinner is served!

As an aside, when we arrived at my in-laws' house in California for the Thanksgiving weekend, one of the first things I came across was a big bag of The Little Potato Company's Creamer potatoes. Without realizing that I had made several recipes with the Creamer potatoes, they started to tell me how much they loved the potatoes - the natural sweetness, the tender skins and the ease of cooking with them. I enthusiastically launched into telling them about how Little Potato Co. Creamer varietals are grown to their full "little" size, which is why they're so sweet. Just one of the reasons to love Little Potato Co. products - you know, besides the fact that they're non-GMO and extremely versatile for roasting, grilling, boiling and steaming.

Clearly, none of us needed convincing about our favorite potatoes!
