How to plan a few dinners ahead

A late meeting on Tuesday. Friends over Friday. Start there, before picking the recipes.

  1. 01

    Pick the nights you’re cooking.

    Two or three is plenty to start with. Put the quick dinner on your busiest night, even if the new recipe looks more exciting.

  2. 02

    Choose one familiar meal.

    The pasta you can make without checking every step earns a place here. Save the recipe with twelve ingredients for an evening you have time.

  3. 03

    Leave a night undecided.

    Maybe there’ll be leftovers. Maybe you’ll want takeout. An empty space in the plan gives you somewhere to move dinner when the week changes.
