On our sister site, The Kitchn, the most popular recipe of 2024 by far was Kelli Foster’s classic lasagna. (Kelli is The Kitchn’s official Dinner Therapist and the person behind some of our most beloved recipes like Tuscan Chicken and our Best-Ever French Toast.)  I’m not usually a lasagna girl (I wasn’t even when everyone else was in 2020!). They take forever, and I’m never that impressed. Baked ziti? So much easier, just as good.

Use it on chicken, salmon, chips, and more.

It’s barely bread-making.

They’re free of all nine of the top food allergens.

You might even find a new favorite meal.

Shout-out to the Pumpkin Patch Brownies, which are equal parts cute and delicious.

It’s popular for a reason.

So simple and so good.

You don't need meat to keep everyone well-fed and happy.

Rotisserie chicken is a weeknight hero, riding in to save the day by helping you make quick work of dinner. The pre-cooked, pre-seasoned chicken can be added to soups, pastas, rice dishes, and more to create delicious, protein-based dinners with ease.This snapshot will give you five quick chicken dinners that are guaranteed to become instant family favorites. The chicken: Each recipe uses half of a rotisserie chicken (about 14 ounces), which equals 1 1/2 to 2 cups shredded meat.

Good for snacking.

They make weeknights so much easier.

Summer has given way to fall, and gone are the long days, trips to the beach, and perfectly ripe heirloom tomatoes at the farmers market. But there are some pretty great things about fall as well — there’s pumpkin, for example, not to mention all the apples, hearty greens, and root vegetables that start showing up at the market.

We're never going back.

It’s so smart!

I can’t believe I’ve never done this before.

My 12-inch cast iron skillet is my very best friend in the kitchen and a close second is its 12-inch stainless steel counterpart. Both pans cook more meals than any others thanks to their ability to go from stovetop to oven and sometimes to the table to serve. In general, one pan meals are ideal for weeknight cooking; they make dinner possible on busy nights and they cut down on dishwashing.

Life happens, pizza helps.

It’s great on everything from pasta to sandwiches to fries.

Feels so wrong, but it’s so right.

Make your cleanup so easy.

These are perfect for lazy nights.
