Half the battle of getting dinner on the table during the week is deciding what to make — especially if you haven’t given it much thought until getting home from work. We’ve all been there. I am not immune to staring into a stocked fridge and pantry with entirely no idea of what to cook.

Here’s my trick for making it a whole lot easier: I start with a single pot and build my dinner around that. Because no matter what I cook, one-pot recipes like these 10, are easy to pull together (and clean up!).

Alton Brown’s cult-favorite show, Good Eats, which premiered in 1999 and ran all the way until 2012, is officially getting a makeover. Last week we learned the premiere date for Good Eats: Reloaded (October 15 on the Cooking Channel), and this week he shared a trailer of what is to come. Can you even handle all the excitement?

I’ve been doing my own lazy version of meal prepping for a while now — tossing together lunches at 9 p.m. on a Monday while I halfway watch The Bachelor, or slicing veggies and fruit for a snack the night before I plan to eat them. So it wasn’t until I dove into a true Power Hour session that I understood the real value of meal prep: how it vastly frees up my week ahead, puts me in full control over my meals, and in turn makes me a much less stressed person.

With the exception of some fish or shellfish here and there, I eat a mostly plant-based diet, and everything I meal prep is vegetarian (most seafood doesn’t lend itself well to advanced prep). Breakfast and lunches are my biggest meal prep priorities, but I like to get ahead on weeknight dinners, too. This plan will help you prep a week’s worth of vegetarian breakfasts, lunches, and mix-and-match dinner components in just under two hours.

While you’re reflecting on all of the wonderful things that you’re grateful for this week, your existing collection of pots and pans might not make the list. (My random assortment of scratched-up bargain nonstick pans certainly wont!) But one thing I am grateful for is my future collection of pots and pans — and Williams Sonoma. See, the retailer is currently hosting the best All-Clad Cookware sale we’ve seen this week. (It even beats out Sur la Table!)

Considered to be the best of the best by professional chefs, home cooks, and our very own Editor-in-Chief, Faith Durand, All-Clad stainless steel cookware has a formidable reputation — that it more than lives up to. And now it’s on super sale!

You can save hundreds of dollars on the All-Clad Cookware that’s right for you. Here are a few deals in particular that we’re eyeing.

In the midst of a kitchen and bath renovation in our 1890 home, I find myself uttering those four expensive words: while we’re at it. Most recently it was “While we’re at it, why don’t we paint our dining room?”

So I asked our drywall/paint contractor to add that onto his estimate for the work in two other rooms. The total for the 225-ish square foot room? More than $1,800. (Turns out, we won’t be painting the dining room while we’re at it.) Now, granted, that included skimming/refinishing the awful textured ceiling, and all the door, window, and baseboard trim in the room, but still, here’s my point: Professional painting is not cheap.

There will come a night (as it does for me on an almost-weekly basis), where you feel like you’re just too tired and don’t have the energy to cook, but still want something really good to eat. It doesn’t matter how much you’ve planned or prepped, or how many mouths you’re feeding. The struggle is real.

And for those nights we all need a solid, standby recipe that comes to the rescue by helping us get dinner on the table with little effort and a short cook time. These are the 10 stovetop favorites I always turn to.

After years of hand-washing the dishes, I finally live in an apartment with a dishwasher. (Cue choirs of angels singing.) I tried a few dishwasher detergents, but none made me as pleased as the one I now buy in bulk. It’s eco-friendly, totally easy to use, and cleans the crustiest, un-rinsed dishes with aplomb.

You know those stories that urge you to put your phone down in order to achieve a more fulfilling and present life? This is not one of those. In fact, I’m going to suggest you do the exact opposite.

Even though social media can be a flaming pile of garbage, it can also connect you with your people. You just need to know who to follow. I gave up coffee thanks to Instagram, and I bought several essential cookbooks based off Twitter reviews. I’ve also found countless weeknight recipes (hello, bruschetta chicken!) from scrolling through my feeds. I have become a better writer, reader, and listener because of the creative women I choose to follow on social media. And I want you to feel the same way! We want you to feed your feed.

From cookbook authors and makers to writers and chefs, these are our editors’ 20 favorite women to follow right now — the ones who inspire us to try harder, live better, and connect with our community. Share with everyone you love because scrolling through social media can actually be a beautiful thing.
