Shakshuka is always a good idea. It’s a one-pan meal that, at its most basic, brings together simmered tomatoes and eggs. It’s both impressive and comforting, a perfect back-pocket dish worth learning by heart. Serve it when you have company over for brunch, make it for a first home-cooked date, or consider it for family dinner on a random Thursday. And, at this time of year, it’s a great meal for Eid and Passover. Shakshuka is also endlessly customizable.

At this point, I’m spending most evenings with my girlfriend, either at her place or mine. The thing is, neither of us really ever cook much for ourselves — but ordering or going out for dinner for two gets expensive quickly.

Or, if we ate dinner together as a family, we can still have an at-home date night after bedtime with board games or watching a movie. At-home date nights might also be planned. When we’re trying to save money.
