4 Easy Meals I Keep Making Again and Again

Hey Reader,

Some recipes just end up on repeat without me even realizing it. They’re the ones I make when I don’t want to think too hard and am hungry now, not later.

These four are simple, reliable, and somehow never get boring, even when I’ve made them a hundred times. The best news? My family doesn't get sick of them either.

Simple Recipes I Keep Coming Back To

Pasta is always a win around here, and the fact that I can make Cacio e Pepe in about 15 minutes, including the time it takes to boil the water, makes it a fan favorite. It never fails to amaze me how four simple ingredients make such a fab dinner.

​Buffalo Chicken Salad is my answer when I want something sorta spicy but still easy to make. It’s a variation on my 5-minute chicken salad that somehow works just as well for lunch as it does for a quick dinner.

When I want something warm and comforting but still simple, I go for a Caprese Panini. The melted cheese, fresh tomato, and toasted bread are the perfect little upgrade without any extra work - especially if I add a little jarred pesto.

​Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Salmon is easy enough to enjoy on a regular night, but it feels like takeout from a good restaurant. The sauce is rich and flavorful, turning a simple piece of salmon into something you’ll want to make again, too.

If you had to pick just one to make this week, which one would it be?
