The following collection of recipes has some of our personal favorites as well as the most popular recipes we have on POPSUGAR Food. We've included breakfast, lunch, appetizer, dinner, and desserts so no matter what you're in the mood to make, you're guaranteed to find something!
Buttermilk Pancakes
This buttermilk pancake recipe has been utterly perfected so you can have fluffy, caramelized stacks every time.
30-Minute Cinnamon Rolls
These 30-minute cinnamon rolls are better than from a bakery. Mark my words.
Turkey Club Sandwich
Bacon, cheese, turkey, and avocado are just a few of the sturdy ingredients in this mighty club sandwich. It should hold for several hours — that is, if you can wait that long before diving into the triple decker of bread.
Slow-Cooker Beans and Quinoa With Scallions, Cheddar, and Hot Sauce
A big batch of slow-cooker beans and quinoa yields enough for a whole week of lunches. (Hot sauce, scallions, and cheddar ensure you won't be sick of it by Friday.)
Cobb Salad Wrap
Toss the greens and other ingredients of this famous salad, then wrap everything up in a tortilla for a Cobb salad wrap recipe that you'll want to keep around forever. We like to pack the dressing on the side and dip the wrap into it to avoid soggy lettuce.
Make a pot of spicy tomato soup and reheat it for lunch the next day. (Swap crumbled Cheez-Its for the grilled cheese croutons since leftover grilled cheese isn't great.)
Vegan Pumpkin Chili
This vegan chili is a year-round option thanks to canned pumpkin.
Nacho Cheese Dip
Nacho cheese dip is a hit at every party and couldn't be easier to make.
3-Cheese Mini Macaroni and Cheese Bites
Even at room temperature, these three-cheese mini macaroni and cheese bites are insanely snackable. That's how good the recipe is.
Rosemary-Sesame Pecans
Consider this rosemary nut snack your "back pocket appetizer" — it's an easy dish to pull out whenever you find yourself faced with last-minute entertaining.
3-Cheese Spinach-Artichoke Dip
Game day and holiday parties alike benefit from this three-cheese spinach artichoke dip.
Bacon-Wrapped Dates
Bacon-wrapped dates taste like crispy bacon rolls with a caramel center.
Parmesan Fricos
Ever wish you could set out a wedge of parmesan cheese and leave it at that? Parmesan fricos, while far more elegant in presentation and flavor, are only minimally more involved to prepare.
Mediterranean Layered Dip
This Mediterranean layered dip is like the Tex-Mex seven-layer dip only with Greek ingredients.
Baked Brie With Candied Bacon
Though baked brie with candied bacon looks decadent, it couldn't be easier to prep. The brown-sugary bacon crumble is an awesome baked potato topper too.
Mediterranean-Spiced Roast Chickpeas
Satisfy the vegans (OK, everyone) on your guest list by setting out a bowl of crisp, Mediterranean-spiced roast chickpeas.
Pimento Cheese Fondue
This Southern-inspired pimento cheese dip is basically a queso and fondue combo that raw veggies are just dying to dive into.
Pico de Gallo
If you've never made pico de gallo from scratch, there's no time like the present to master this classic salsa.
Slow-Cooker Gigante Beans
Pack a hunk of bread alongside this slow-cooker white bean recipe for mopping up its brothy sauce.
Spaghetti Aglio, Olio, e Peperoncino
Spaghetti aglio, olio, e peperoncino is the recipe you can bust out even when there's literally nothing in your pantry.
Chicken Parmesan Meatballs
Chicken parmesan meatballs reimagine the American-Italian classic in a pasta dish.
Lemon-Pepper Chicken
This lemon-pepper chicken is something you'll find yourself making every single week.
Marcella Hazan's Iconic Tomato Sauce
Butter, onion, and a can of tomatoes are the three ingredients that transform into Marcella Hazan's iconic tomato sauce.
Homemade Shake Shack Burger
Don't have a Shake Shack near you? Try the iconic burger at home with this hacked burger recipe.
Gordon Ramsay's Beef Wellington
If you've watched Hell's Kitchen, then you'll recognize Gordon Ramsay's beef Wellington. This is how you can hack the very same recipe at home.
Icebox Cake
Make a giant Oreo icebox cake, and watch people flock for a bite.
S'mores Brownies
Top rich, fudgy brownies with toasted marshmallows, Golden Grahams, and milk chocolate for a chocolate-lover's dream.
Double-Lemon Cupcakes
Lemon pound cake cupcakes are filled with a lemon curd and double as breakfast or dessert.
Gluten-Free, Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cupcakes With Cinnamon Glaze
Even if you don't have dairy or wheat intolerances, you'll still love the texture and flavor of these gluten-free, vegan pumpkin chocolate chip cupcakes. The cinnamon glaze adds just enough sweetness for a satisfying end to a meal.
No-Bake Watermelon Cake
It looks like cake on the outside, but slice it open to reveal a whole watermelon!
Eating 5 meals a day involves having breakfast, a mid-morning snack, lunch, mid-afternoon snack, and dinner (7). To do this, you will need to try and eat every three hours. The most important part of this meal plan (and any other diet) is to eat less calories each time.
If I am too tired to cook, and can't afford to eat out (which has been most of my life,) I always have peanut butter and bread, yogurt, frozen dinners, canned soups and beef stew, fruits on hand, eggs. A well stocked pantry is the key. I am just as happy with a can of bean soup and some crackers.
Nuts and seeds are some of the best foods to beat fatigue and fight hunger. Getting a variety of nuts and seeds in your diet can provide healthy nutrients and energy. Try almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, pecans, walnuts, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds. Eating raw, unsalted versions is recommended.
