Do you ever struggle to use up the milk in your fridge? Sometimes we buy milk for a recipe or a weekend brunch, and then it lingers in the fridge, half-used, with the expiration date barreling down upon our guilty heads.

In the winter, a baked potato (with the works!) is something my family enjoys on a regular basis. We oil and season the potatoes and roast them directly on the oven rack, then load up the steaming spuds with all the accoutrements our hearts desire. When summer approaches and we turn our attention to the grill, our baked potato habit typically comes to a halt. But this year, it’s only just ramping up.

The spice blend is so good.

This is our go-to weeknight dinner.

Hint: It involves garlic.

Sweet potatoes are at the top of my shopping list this time of year, and for good reason. These tender tubers are readily available, last a long time in the pantry, and are incredibly versatile. One of the very best ways to prepare sweet potatoes is also the simplest — baking. Serve baked sweet potatoes anytime from breakfast to dinner and flavor them savory or sweet. Baking eliminates the prep work of peeling, chopping, boiling, and draining for tender potatoes.

They taste just like apple pie filling.

They cook in less than 10 minutes!

Plus they'll solve one of Thanksgiving's most common disputes.

Everyone will demand seconds.

A skillet and a lid are all you need to make these crispy potatoes with fluffy, perfect insides.

When you have a can of beans in your pantry, a delicious, inexpensive meal is just a thought away.

Only three ingredients!
