COOKING TIPS & TECHNIQUES

Can I substitute ingredients in your recipes?

Absolutely! We encourage you to make our recipes your own. However, baking recipes require more precision. For savory dishes, swapping proteins or veggies is usually fine. Check the notes section of our easy recipes for specific substitution suggestions to keep your meal delicious.

How do I store leftovers properly?

Storage depends on the dish, but generally, allow food to cool to room temperature before placing it in an airtight container. Most easy dinner ideas will keep in the fridge for 3-4 days. For longer storage, many of our family-friendly recipes are freezer-safe!

What does "meal prep friendly" mean?

When we tag a recipe as meal prep friendly, it means the dish holds up well in the fridge or freezer and tastes just as good (or better!) when reheated. These are perfect for batch cooking to ensure you have healthy meals ready for the week.
