A few weeks ago, that lots of the people who read this newsletter enjoy fast, easy weeknight recipes. In the spirit of not overthinking it: let’s keep that train rolling. For this week’s installment, the recipes I picked came with a couple of self-imposed criteria. Aside from being fast and easy and weeknight-appropriate, they have to be somewhat warm and comforting (I know we don’t all live in the northeast, but it’s where I’m writing from, so hey), and they can also bear no resemblance to Super Bowl food (). So: regardless of what you did for (or during, or in complete antipathy towards) the big game, today’s newsletter is a hiatus from copious amounts of melted cheese, buffalo anything, and the commingling of ground beef and beans.
