Ease is always the priority. I aim for recipes that rely on familiar ingredients I already have in my pantry and drawers, and don't require too much hands-on cooking time. (Fortunately, you'll find a lot of these on The Kitchn!)
Novelty is important. Cooking dinner night after night can be relentless — I gotta feel excited by what's on my plate, whether it's a new flavor, ingredient combination, or simple technique to save some time.
I eat pretty much everything. I change up my proteins throughout the week with chicken, seafood, beef, and pork making frequent appearances. And there's always room for pasta! That said, I'm not in my spicy era. I have two little boys — 3 and a half years old and 10 months — so my picks will mostly be recipes that shy away from too much heat.
