Consider this a gentle reminder that, while we don’t often cook dinner with leftovers for breakfast in mind, that practice can be a smart way to ensure there’s something delicious on the table at the start of the next day. If dinner is wholesome — full of veggies, protein, and whole grains — it can be repurposed as a perfect morning meal!

These 10 recipes cover all these bases and can be enjoyed rewarmed, at room temperature, or even cold. So no matter how much time you have before you need to run out the door, you can feel confident you’ll be able to start the day off right.

Jeff Goldblum is a national treasure. If you’ve ever fantasized about him cooking you dinner, you’re about to have a very good day, because he just teamed up with Funny or Die to make a video about food. Jeff Goldblum can’t cook, but it doesn’t matter, because I’ve been waiting my whole life to hear him roll the “r” in “rigatoni.”

As far as superpowers go, Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond’s supernatural ability to make people want to buy things is a pretty good one. Case in point? She just released the commercial for her new Pioneer Woman Spring collection at Walmart, and I sat upright and said, “I need flower dishes!”

The first time I discovered eggs on pizza was years ago at this hip pizza spot in New York City, within the first few months of moving to the city. My friend and I scratched our heads about it the first time we saw it on the menu, considered it the second time we went, and then finally gave it a shot on our third visit. Now it’s one of my favorite things to order when I am there. I am not even just arguing for it as a breakfast or brunch dish — it’s totally dinner material too, as it makes something that’s already rich and comforting even more so. Sure there’s still room for pepperoni and extra cheese, but I really think you should make room for eggs on your pizza too.

Once upon a time, not so very long ago, we didn’t expect much from paper plates and napkins, except that they (hopefully) held slices of pizza and cake. The days of sheer utility, however, are long gone. Disposable paper goods and plastic utensils that we not-so-secretly covet in a more permanent form can be found at multiple retailers.

Sometimes, though, those Instagram-worthy pieces come with a hefty price tag — and it’s hard to justify spending big money on stuff that’s just gonna get thrown away. That’s why we were so excited to discover this Sugar & Cloth collection that’s being sold exclusively on Amazon right now.

Since December, Jennifer Garner has been channeling her inner Barefoot Contessa and posting the most heart-warming videos of herself cooking on Facebook. Called “The Pretend Cooking Show,” Jennifer’s homemade videos are nowhere near the production value of Ina Garten’s shows, but her videos certainly have the same heart.

I remember watching the video the first time and immediately wondering what Ina thought about these videos. Was she secretly annoyed that people were comparing the two of them? Did she actually like the videos? Was she a little jealous? It turns out Ina’s response to the videos are the most Ina thing ever.

People have very strong feelings about breakfast cereal. Breakfast cereals—especially the sugary ones — are commonly associated with childhood, so a favorite brand inspires feelings of intense loyalty and nostalgia. And finding out someone loves the same breakfast cereal can inspire instant camaraderie. Just last weekend, a new friend mentioned that her favorite cereal was also Cap’n Crunch, and we spent the next 20 minutes swapping war stories about shredding the roofs of our mouths on our favorite breakfast cereal.

Let me guess — when chili is on the docket, you blindly reach for a can of diced tomatoes and the jar of red chili powder. I’m no different, but this time around we’re going to shake things up with a vibrant chili verde from the slow cooker. Fill your shopping basket with tomatillos, jalapeños, poblanos, cilantro, and oregano, and set aside the ground beef to reach for a pork shoulder instead. With a chili this pleasantly spicy and surprisingly fresh, you will be thankful to have a new take on a weekly favorite.
