After the great feedback I received from my Crockpot Recipes for the Busy Athlete post, I wanted to continue the series. This time, I'm sharing a collection of healthy one skillet recipes. The idea for this came about after working with athletes in NFL training camps and in MiLB spring training who often stay in extended-stay style hotels with limited space and appliances other than a stovetop. I found myself constantly sending over healthy stovetop recipes to them and thought how much easier it'd be if athletes could have a collection of these recipes all in one place. So to make your weekly meal plan and planning even easier, I've gathered 28 recipes for this blog thanks to my fellow dietitians and food bloggers. Whether you’re constantly busy with practice, work, or class, nothing comes in handy more than throwing everything together in one skillet. These recipes require little effort and time, and you can rest assured you’ll be eating a nutritious meal!
