Given her busy schedule, INSIDER asked Curry to tell us the one meal every parent should learn how to make when they're feeling strapped for time. She says she's been turning to simple sheet-pan dinners to save time and cut down on cleanup.

"Evenings in our home are very chaotic, so sheet-pan dinners are huge for me," Curry told us.

"It's usually some sort of protein like salmon or chicken laid out on a sheet pan," Curry said. "I pile on the veggies like onions, squash, and sweet potatoes."

When preparing veggies that typically take a long time to cook, Curry says the trick is to chop everything in small, even pieces.

"When you chop up your veggies a little bit smaller and make sure everything's even, it cooks in a flash," she advised.

"It's so simple you would think it took all day to make and it's literally three ingredients: apricot preserves, soy sauce, chopped garlic," she told us. "I whisk it and I pour it over top."

According to a similar recipe she featured in a Fitbit blog post , the sauce requires 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, two heaped tablespoons of apricot preserves, and threeminced garlic cloves.

Once you pour the sauce over top, Curry recommends popping it into the oven at 425 degrees for about 15 to 20 minutes.

"Then you have the perfect one sheet pan, little to no mess, and the glaze caramelizes and it's so good," Curry said.

"My goal is to try to get people to stay home more, and to enjoy their safe haven," she said of her vision for Homemade. "Getting people to gather at that family table, cook and enjoy a meal together and build that communication. I feel like that's where long-lasting, happy relationships are nurtured and grown."
