These are recipes that can be the centerpiece or only-piece of your meal. However, you could also split these into smaller portions, and treat them like a side or appetizer.

If you’re one of those responsible meal planner types: most things here can be prepared in a big batch and pre-portioned for future meals.

Or if you’re an irresponsible wing-it type like me: most of these recipes create leftovers that you can just throw together with other stuff over the next few days, and make it seem like you cooked something else, when you didn’t actually. Sweet!
