Since you’ve probably already mastered the magical cauliflower hack that turns your fave winter veggie into “rice” and you know how valuable a well-seasoned piece of meat is, now you need to learn how to whip up those dishes that are comforting and filling and remind you that, yes, you can make it 14 more days. Good thing we’ve collected 16 for you that will keep you full, satisfied, and on track.
