IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
Some weeks, the last thing you want to do at 6pm is figure out dinner. These four recipes are built for exactly that feeling. Each one can be fully prepped or partially made ahead so that when you're tired, hungry, or just done with the day, dinner is basically already waiting for you. A little Sunday effort, a whole lot of weeknight ease.

Fun Fact: Marinating meat overnight does more than add flavour. The acids and enzymes in a marinade actually begin to break down the proteins on the surface of the meat, which is part of why marinated grilled chicken comes off the grill noticeably more tender than chicken that was only seasoned right before cooking. The sweet spot for most marinades is 2 to 12 hours: long enough to penetrate and tenderize, but not so long that the acids start to make the texture mushy.
That's all from us this week. Hope it takes some of the "what's for dinner?" guesswork out of your week.
