We’ve all had those nights — the ones when you get home and the last thing you want to think about is what to cook for dinner. The easy answer feels like reaching for those takeout menus or heading straight to Seamless, but I know I’ll always feel better if I suck it up and pull even the simplest thing together instead. These are the low-effort recipes I always lean on when I really don’t feel like cooking.

One of the best things about Samin Nosrat (author of Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat and host of its follow-up Netflix series) is her low-key, down-to-earth, and joyful approach to cooking. No matter what she’s making or talking about, she makes cooking seem fun and downright accessible.

During a recent guest appearance on the Forever 35 Podcast (episode 54), Samin hopped on the phone with hosts Kate Spencer and Doree Shafrir to talk about the way she makes people feel in the kitchen. “I love that you don’t need fancy stuff to make good food. That is a message that is really important to me and I really wanted that to come across in the show,” said Samin.

They followed this up with a discussion about Samin’s top inexpensive picks for must-have kitchen gear. Here are her choices.

When we first discovered the magic of Instant Pot spaghetti, we didn’t just create one new recipe. We unlocked a formula for protein plus pasta plus jarred sauce, meaning a whole new world of quick and easy pasta dinners at our fingertips.

Instant Pot chicken Alfredo takes advantage of both the Instant Pot’s sauté function and its pressure-cooking ability, while shortcutting the sauce with a favorite jarred version. That means this creamy classic is easy to make anytime with just a few kitchen staples.

You know when you get that craving for just a little something sweet after the dinner dishes are cleared, but don’t have anything to nibble? That can be a desperate moment. Personally, I always turn to chocolate chip cookies — I always have chocolate chips in the cupboard, so hot cookies are only 20 minutes away. When desperation hits, pantry and fridge staples like chocolate chips, oats, cream cheese, and even frozen bananas can be a total life saver.

The trap bar deadlift is an incredibly effective exercise. It is a kind of squat/deadlift hybrid lift. Obviously, you deadlift the bar off the floor with it in your hands but the movement pattern is closer to a squat. This allows you to create a deeper knee angle than conventional deadlifts.

I’m always looking to make quick and easy weeknight meals, but especially on Mondays, when it’s still sinking in that the weekend is over. Tempting as it is to order takeout and sulk, I’ve found it’s much more rewarding to cook something at home and kickstart a week of eating healthy homemade meals.

Planning out what I’m going to cook makes the process that much easier — I can pick up groceries over the weekend or on my way home from work, which guarantees I’m not left standing totally clueless in my kitchen at 6 p.m. One Sunday, instead of rushing through the grocery store, I decided to take my time strolling through the aisles of Trader Joe’s. I picked up some fun ingredients I had never tried before and combined them all for dinner — and the result was this brown rice bowl I’ve made every Monday since. Now, not only do I have a plan for Monday night dinner, but I also have a satisfying, protein-packed meal I look forward to every week.

So many of my family’s meal plans revolve around our calendar. We’ll need a slow cooker dinner or a quick meal that can be eaten between work and school events — but occasionally there is a week that is free from obligations, so I can cook and eat whatever I want.

This week I’m picking five new-to-me winter meals that I’m just honestly really excited to cook and eat. Some might not pass muster for my elementary-aged kids, but we’ll never know if we don’t try.

I’m always thinking about how to save on groceries. And while I’m all for sticking to a budget and living within my means, there are a few groceries that are just too delicious to sacrifice in the name of money. I know I’d eat ramen for a week if that’s what I had to do in order to afford an amazing French triple-creme cheese to spread on my favorite crackers during date night at home!

Some things are just worth the money (and almonds are a relatively small splurge compared to, say, diamonds, right?). So we asked you, dear readers, what groceries you’re actually willing to spend money on — and we quickly got more than 1,000 responses in a very short period of time!

Here you’ll find the top 10, plus a smattering of random delicacies.

One of the best parts of grocery shopping is discovering new stuff, but let’s be honest — an impromptu taste test in Aisle 4 is a good way to get banned from your local market for life. Let me be your guide: Instead of wasting any time buying goodies that won’t make it into your regular rotation, I’m doing a taste test of the most exciting new groceries this month.

I tried 55 brand-new products that just hit shelves this January to find the ones worth putting in your cart. (And, yes, I’m very full — thanks for asking.)

In the health community, a lot of importance is placed upon waist size. It is proven that a disproportionate waist-to-hip ratio indicates obesity and is an appropriate indicator that someone is carrying an unhealthy amount of belly fat. However, there may be more concerns associated with a bulging gut, including diabetes, heart health, and even cognitive […]
