USING THE RIGHT APPLIANCE FOR THE JOB • In the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab, we test a variety of kitchen equipment every day to find the best tools to make your work in the kitchen easier. We’ve included a roundup here of some of our favorite items.
OUR BEST ADVICE FOR SHOPPING ON A BUDGET • Even with grocery prices on the rise, there are still plenty of ways to save both time and money if you’re concerned about keeping your costs low. Consider the following tips.
THE WONDERS OF MEAL PREPPING
COOKING SECRETS CHEFS SWEAR BY • Set yourself up for success and make your time in the kitchen as efficient as possible with these recommendations from the pros.
SHOW YOUR LEFTOVERS SOME LOVE • Despite our best intentions — and even when starting with fewer ingredients overall — we sometimes still end up with more of a certain ingredient than we need. Rather than letting anything go to waste, the Good Housekeeping Test Kitchen came up with clever ways for some ingredients to do double duty. Start with the advice here, then check out the “Use It Up” tips sprinkled throughout the recipe pages that follow.
2 chicken • Pop quiz: What can you find year-round at grocery stores that cooks quickly, goes well with any flavoring and pleases even the pickiest eaters? You probably guessed it — chicken! The lean, mean protein is versatile, easy to cook and packs a nutritious punch. No matter how you slice it, chicken breast is always an easy dinner winner.
3 beef & pork • Looking to mix up your weeknight dinner routine? Beef and pork recipes are flavorful choices that are easy to prepare and a champ when it comes to versatility. You’re sure to find inspiration here, whether you’re looking for a hearty family meal, a crowd-pleasing party dish or a new twist on an old fave.
4 seafood • Fact: Most of us should be eating fish two to three times per week (at least!). With its omega-3 fatty acids, seafood can reduce your risk of depression, heart disease and cognitive decline. If you’re not a fan of the fishy flavor, don’t worry. Here, we’re sharing our tastiest ideas for serving up seafood recipes the whole family will love.
5 vegetarian & vegan • Going meatless has never been easier — or more exciting. Trust us, you won’t even miss the meat with these healthy vegetarian recipes that are as craveworthy and satisfying as they are feel-good and nourishing. Though we love a good veggie side dish, these plant-powered meals definitely have *main character energy*, making it possible for you to get a healthy dinner on the table any night of the week (yep, it can be done!).
