Sundays are the perfect day to gather the family and enjoy a leisurely dinner. But, that doesn’t mean you need to spend all day in the kitchen preparing a feast!

Finally, everything is baked in the oven to golden perfection.
This is the kind of dinner that makes me a bit nostalgic – it’s simple, satisfying and fills the kitchen with the most delicious aromas I remember as a kid! Serve this alongside these easy Orange Honey Glazed Carrots for the perfect Sunday dinner!
