A comforting dish can feel like a big, warm hug from someone I love, only in food form. And right now, I’m leaning into those types of cozy dishes. My mind is on steaming pots of soup, creamy pastas and anything spicy—which is exactly what you’ll see in this week’s meal plan. But instead of cooking away for hours, we’re speeding things up with recipes that are ready in about 30 minutes.
Your Meal Plan
Some of the other comforting dinners in the lineup also use shortcuts to make the cooking process quicker, like pre-sliced mushrooms in Tuesday’sCreamy Fettuccine with Brussels Sprouts & Mushrooms. If you can also find shredded Brussels sprouts, great! And peeled and cubed butternut squash in Wednesday’sEasy Butternut Squash Souphelps cut way down on prep time. The rest of the dinners don’t even need shortcuts. They’re just fast and easy as is and as delicious and comforting as ever, of course. Enjoy!

There’s nothing like a little bourbon to warm you up, which is why thisMaple Whiskey Soursounds like a the choice for cocktail hour. The fresh citrus juice is a tasty, tangy addition. I like to use lemon, but fresh orange is also delicious.
