My Culinate

Weeknight Meals

While we appreciate carefully planned menus and long weekend days spent braising and simmering, we know that on most nights, something simple and straightforward makes sense. So we’ve pulled together some of Culinate’s most reliable dishes for weeknight meals. Most take 30 minutes to an hour to prepare. If you feel like making a side dish or a dessert as well, go for it. But remember that a sandwich or a plate of pasta is often just right. Enjoy!
