I find that winter makes me more lazy than I’d like to be, thanks to the combination of it getting dark at 5 p.m. and the bitter cold temperatures. After a long day of work, it’s often a struggle to do more than get my comfy pants and slippers on ASAP. When that’s the mood, dinner feels like a struggle. Luckily, these 10 recipes are meant for nights like that, when the only answer is something super simple and satisfying.

Saturday pancakes do double duty in my house. Their first job is to fill our bellies on Saturday morning, between cartoons and snuggles, but the leftover pancakes have a second life as a quick weekday breakfast during the week. When a double or triple batch of pancakes yields an abundance of extra flapjacks, this is how we prep them for freezing and then reheat them as needed.

If you’re looking for stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, and dinner ingredients, chances are good that you can get everything on your list at Trader Joe’s. They have a huge selection and the prices are great, but what makes Trader Joe’s so great for gifts is their packaging. Everything in the store is so artfully packaged in Trader Joe’s signature old-timey style that it all feels like a gift. You could give someone a package of sponges or toilet paper from Trader Joe’s, and they’d take one look at the line-drawings of well-dressed Victorian people on the wrapper and say, “Wow, this is a fancy gift!”

Virtually everything in Trader Joe’s that can fit in a stocking would be a great stocking stuffer. To help you narrow it down, however, here are 10 of our favorite stocking stuffers to pick up at Trader Joe’s.

With its puffed edges and eggy pancake-meets-popover texture, a Dutch baby pancake is guaranteed to delight a crowd every time you pull one from the oven. This version, baked in a trusty 9×13-inch baking dish, has even more than what meets the eye, with a crackly cinnamon-sugar layer on the bottom and swirled throughout the batter. Top it with some warm apple slices and a dollop of whipped cream and you’re good to go. Best of all, it is nearly effortless to pull off.

Until very recently, my family and I lived in central Michigan. Those of you who have been to this area of the country know very well that being on a peninsula surrounded by the Great Lakes translates to many gray, cloudy days. Last winter, the gray became quite overwhelming. Not only was it cold and […]

It took me a while to realize just how important sleep is for every aspect of a person’s health. For as long as I can remember, I’ve had trouble falling asleep, and tend to wake at the slightest of sounds. I’ve often wondered whether I should join the special forces on account of my ability […]
