Ever been excited to try a fancy new recipe, only to find out there are far too many steps for a weekday meal? We have — which is why we’re here to help simplify those delicious dishes that rarely make it on your menu. Whether by swapping in a store-bought ingredient or finding a time-saving technique, there’s always a way to prepare your favorites whenever the craving hits.
We’d never expect you to roast a whole pig before dinner, but deboned pork belly makes porchetta much more approachable. The best part is that there will likely be leftovers, which you can slice up for sandwiches the next day. Want to round out your lunch spread? Make it a soup and sandwich combo with a comforting bowl of French onion! Steak can also take a lot of effort to get the sear just right, but a Salisbury steak solves that problem. By forming patties out of ground beef, you’ll still enjoy that tender texture and savory flavor with the ease of flipping burgers. Want to add a classic steakhouse side? Fluffy baked potatoes can be made in the air fryer in under an hour! And no more saving cinnamon rolls for special occasions — we have a recipe that even beginner bakers can follow.

What to cook this week
Want to really wow your dinner guests? Slice up Morgan Baker’s porchetta to reveal that classic spiral shape. It’s the perfect main, especially for large gatherings, that’s equal parts crispy and juicy.
Two things make this soup stand out from the rest. First, the caramelized onions that cook low and slow, and second, the individual bowls topped with cheese and broiled to perfection.
There’s nothing more comforting than Salisbury steak smothered in a rich mushroom or onion gravy. Here, you can easily swap in ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a lighter option.
Oven-roasted potatoes take forever. Microwaved potatoes lack crispiness. But Becca Jacobs found a way to cut down on time without sacrificing texture, and it’s by baking them in an air fryer.
No need to choose between your two favorite pastries with Riley Wofford’s croissant cinnamon rolls. They’re baked until golden brown and flakey, then topped with a sweet cream cheese glaze.
