FOUR Ways to Make the Absolute Most of Everyday Dinners

​ ​ ​ Hey hey! ​ Cheers to Friday! We are closing in on the launch of Everyday Dinners with only FOUR days left (it's not too late to preorder here)! I want to keep sharing all the best goodies from the book with you as a thank you for your incredible support. Of course I think there are a million ways to enjoy the new cookbook, from quick cleanup to meatless meals everyone will love. But today I've got the four ways to get the ABSOLUTE most out of Everyday Dinners - these are the things I think make the book extra special and one that will live in your kitchen. ​ ​ ​ 1. Get those fridge essentials working for you! This is one of my biggest tips when it comes to the recipes in the book, and one of the reasons I include so many of my pantry and fridge staples. The sauces, dressings and marinades are KEY for a delicious week of meals filled with variety. I suggest picking a new vinaigrette to try each week and making 1 or 2 sauces that can work overtime for you at lunch and dinner! ​ 2. Start with planning out three meals a week. Until the pandemic hit, three meals a week was my sweet spot. This left room for leftovers, a spontaneous dinner out and maybe takeout too. These days, I tend to lean on planning four meals per week. I suggest starting here - don't go wild and try to plan all seven days of the week. Of course, have some backups… which brings me to my next tip! ​ ​ ​ 3. Have a list of your backup meals on hand at all time, and keep the ingredients stocked in your kitchen. These are EASY meals. For example, eggs and toast with a roasted vegetable. We love that and it's a great fallback meal! This can also include something like tortilla or pita pizzas with your favorite toppings. Something that takes mere minutes to make, and it's something you can easily throw together if you're not feeling the planned dinner that night or run out of ideas. ​ 4. Don't skip your 10 minute prep! Truly, doing just those 10 minutes of meal prep are life changing - your future self with thank you. Whether it's having vegetables washed, chopped and ready to go or whisking up a dressing so it's ready to make your salad delish, taking just a few minutes out of your day will make things so much easier in the long run. I prefer to get it done and over with as early in the day as I can! ​ ​ ​ I give even more detail about these tips and tricks in the actual book! All the amazing recipes, plus ways to make them work for YOU is why I truly think this book is going to be your weeknight dinner bible. Can. Not Wait. !! ​ ​ Thank you!​ ​ Jessica Merchant founder of How Sweet Eats​ ​ ​ ​ ​Unsubscribe | Update your profile | 113 Cherry St #92768, Seattle, WA, 98104-2205 ​ ​
