PureWow

Two things we love: hands-off dinners and (practically) zero dishes. Feel free to throw in any near-rotten vegetables that you forgot about in the fridge.

One bag of frozen cranberries goes a long way. Despite being so low-lift, this chicken recipe is pretty enough for any holiday spread.

Rice? We don't know her. Millet is our preferred ancient grain for this wholesome recipe. Swap in quinoa or farro for more tasty iterations.

It starts with store-bought flatbread, so it's easier to make than it looks. (Any excuse to fire up the barbecue one last time before its winter hibernation, right?)

Coterie member Gaby Dalkin believes in the power of cheese, and so will you after one bite of this meatless gem.

Don’t tell the kids it’s packed with hidden veggies. All they care about is the pasta, pancetta and Parm anyway.

Pretty much the only thing we love more than our warmest sweater.

Swap in rotisserie chicken for roast turkey as you see fit, but this recipe is basically a Black Friday tradition at our place.

Simple store-bought puff pastry to the rescue.

This chili-soup hybrid is loaded with chicken, chiles and hominy, a treated type of large-kernel corn.

That was easy. (Seriously, you don't even need to boil a separate pot of water for the pasta.)

Garlic, lemon, cilantro, mint, lemon—these cauliflower steaks are positively loaded with flavor.

This French classic comes together in less than an hour, and it's an epic way to end tomato season with a bang.

Admit it: It’s what everyone wants. Serve them with plenty of ranch dressing and crudités.

Our celeb crush doesn’t mess around with fussy dinners, and this 40-minute meal is proof.

Psst: It pairs extraordinarily well with a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon. Just sayin'.

It's on the dinner table in less than 30 minutes (and loaded with protein to boot).

Don’t settle for the stuff in a can if you can help it because TBH, you can do so much better. Grilled cheese sammies, anyone?

Plain vegetarian brilliance. Did we mention they're slathered in hummus *and* spicy yogurt spread?

Yet another way to put an egg on it. Feel free to add ground chorizo if you'd like meat in the dish.

Throw everything into a skillet and bam—dinner is served faster than you can say, "for delivery, please."

Bye-bye carbs. This veggie-happy meal comes together in no time.

Why fold and cook a bunch of small tortillas when you can just bake one enormous one?

Eight billion times better than spaghetti and jarred sauce.

Our love for our cast-iron skillet runs deep. Serve with plenty of lime wedges and fresh guacamole.

Full disclosure: We could eat this every night for the rest of our lives.

Creamy, satisfying comfort food? Coming right up. (Plus, spaghetti is far less exciting than polenta, no?)

One pan, endless possibilities. You're only 20 minutes away from this crispy stunner.

Just as savory and satisfying as takeout, minus the carbs. Good looking out, cauliflower.

Hearty “meat” pies without the stomachache. We'd bookmark this now to make on Thanksgiving for your vegetarian relatives if we were you.

Burger season isn't over until we say so. This lean handheld is best paired with dry white wine. (Or apple juice for the kiddos.)

Tempted to order in (um, again)? Try this dish that's loaded with rice noodles, peanuts and ground pork instead.

We'd honestly take a nap under all that gooey cheesy on a pillow of parsnips, sweet potatoes and butternut squash if we could.

Don't let this seemingly tough-to-master protein intimidate you. Your grill pan has it covered.

Aka a vehicle for meat, cheese and pasta.

Don't tell the turkey but this app is hearty (and gorgeous) enough to steal the show at Thanksgiving.

Think of it as a healthier, five-ingredient eggplant Parm.

Behold, our favorite way to wow the pants off a crowd. We narrowed the seafood down to shrimp and littleneck clams, so it'll only take you an hour from start to finish.

Flavorful, filling and, most importantly, super simple. The microwave kind you lived on in college doesn't even come close.

Broccoli rabe doesn't get the attention it deserves, but we love the chewy, slightly bitter veggie to bits.

Thirty-minute dinners for the win. (And check out cauli rice's new look.)

Tastes like it was made in an ancient stone pizza oven. (Spoiler: It wasn’t.)

Like a ray of warm sunlight on a crisp fall day. Oh, before you ask, you don't need to peel the ginger before mincing it.

C'mon, the bread bowl topper is a grilled cheese sandwich. It's plain ingenious.

You love ordering sirloin at restaurants—why not make it at home?

Love cooking but hate doing dishes? Join the club. This beauty bakes in parchment, so you can throw the mess away as soon as the salmon is cooked.

We officially give you permission to eat a plate of fancy snacks for dinner.

No fuss, no mess, all the bragging rights. You're only six ingredients away.

Who has time to stand over a hot stove and stir (and stir and stir)? With this shortcut, you don't have to.

It's ready in 20 minutes and you likely have all the ingredients in your kitchen right now. Need we say more?

Guaranteed to delight the whole fam. Thanks, Coterie member Maria Lichty.

Everything roasts together on a single sheet tray, leaving you with minimal dirty dishes to clean.

This decadent one-pan egg dish takes just 30 minutes to whip up.

Coterie member Jess Larson gives you permission to toss back a cold one while you’re whipping it up.

Yup, ten minutes. Is it cool if we eat this for dinner every single night?

Eat the rainbow (and peanut oil-kissed top round).

We mean it this time: We’re never going back to angel hair again.

Pack the leftovers for lunch and knock two meals out of the way. (The key is starting with store-bought rotisserie chicken.)

Coterie Member Monique Volz knows the way to our heart.

Refreshing and filling, thanks to a zingy herb-spiked lemon marinade.

Few things in life are truly flawless, but this dish makes the cut.

The chicken turns golden-brown while the rice becomes magically crispy. Just trust us on this one.

No one will ever know you cut corners by using canned beans and finishing the sausage meatballs in the soup.

Forget cheddar. We’re all about rich, creamy puréed squash.

Shocker: It’s low-maintenance. Serve it with plenty of steamed white rice and sliced scallions.

Comforting like Mom’s cooking. But honestly? Better. (Just don't tell her.)

Throw the whole damn bird in and leave the rest of the work to your Crock-Pot.

Tasty and comforting enough to turn any gloomy day around.

Get the savory pork-and-veggie filling you crave without having to fuss with egg roll wrappers.

Because we’re fancy (ish), we updated this French classic so it comes together in under an hour.

Try it once and it'll become a weekly cold-weather staple in no time.

You won’t find any lettuce in this colorful salad. Add grilled chicken to make it more filling.

Move over marinara: You’re so last season.

Never underestimate the power of a grilled cheese sandwich.

Regular bowls? Yawn. Serve the soup in hulled-out pumpkins (and bake the seeds for a garnish) to wow your guests.

Ditch the chicken and try something new.

Real talk: We’d eat this sauce by the spoonful. (And we're betting some self-proclaimed mushroom haters out there would, too.)

It’s officially cauliflower season. Let’s celebrate by blowing everyone at Taco Tuesday away.

Don’t even think about dirtying all those dishes.

We have a secret: You won’t find any pasta in this lasagna…but we promise you won’t even miss it.

Want to keep Thanksgiving low-key this year? Instead of roasting the whole bird, try just cooking the legs instead.

Pie for dinner? Don’t mind if we do.

Our two favorite pasta dishes just collided to create this mouthwatering masterpiece.

One spoonful and you'll never looked at the canned kind the same way again.

Whenever a comfort food craving strikes...you know what to do.

Fact: We’ll eat anything if it’s cooked in a skillet. (Especially if it's oozing with beef and cheese.)

All our favorite flavors of the season in one pot.

Some dinners never go out of style. Massage the kale with olive oil for a few minutes to tenderize it.

Hey now, hey now, this is what dreamsssss are made of.

The marinade works double duty as a sticky, citrusy sauce. Feel free to swap fennel for bok choy, green beans or whatever veg your heart desires.

The most impressive way to feed a crowd. Your guests will have no clue how little effort it took to make.

Easy, delicious, healthy *and* lightning fast? We’re in love with this simple fall dinner.

Move over, chicken—we’re in the mood for something unexpected. Each potpie serves two (or um, one).

Red curry paste? Check. Coconut milk? Check. Fresh lime, cilantro and tamari? You betcha.

Pro tip: Save your carrot greens. They make for the prettiest finishing touch.

This Jewish take on mac and cheese shouldn't have to wait for Hanukkah to make its debut. It's creamy and decadent, thanks to sour cream and four types of cheese: cottage, mozzarella, Gruyère and sharp cheddar.

Make the most of broccoli season by spending 20 minutes on this flavorful pasta dish. Green olives, fresh basil and grated Parm make the pesto sauce one for the books.

Hello, gorgeous. Your guests won't believe their eyes when this one-hour wonder hits the table. (The fact that the ingredients are mostly pantry staples is just a bonus.)

We're always down to make breakfast for dinner. And luckily, this 30-minute hash is equal parts filling and nutritious.

It turns out your trusty cast-iron skillet is the ultimate pizza stone, since it guarantees an impossibly crispy crust and pillowy interior.

This dish requires a bit of patience, since the recipe calls for brining the chicken in buttermilk for at least four hours. But once you sink your teeth into the bird's browned, crackly skin, you'll see that it's worth the wait.

This flavorful Mexican dish just might be our favorite vegetarian soup of all time. The chiles and aromatics are roasted in the oven before being blended to concentrate their flavor.

Eggplant is in season through October, so we're indulging every chance we get. Here, it's roasted until tender, then doused in an umami-rich glaze atop a bed of toothsome farro.

Sheet-pan meals are lifesavers in terms of cleanup, but it can be tough to bake all the components to perfection when they have different cooking times. The key here is roasting the vegetables first until they're soft, then adding the chicken.
