Last Minute Meal Planning? The Wall Street Journal Has Your Back (Even If You Aren’t a Subscriber).

According to experts, the best time to book your catering is four to six weeks in advance of your event date. With the holidays just around the corner, you might be strapped for time if you haven’t already picked a caterer. Thankfully, for those of us who are less than savvy in the kitchen, the Wall Street Journal has free recipes for any occasion!

Simply head to wsj.com/recipes to search for any delicious cooking idea under the sun! Better yet, you can search through the WSJ’s “curated collections” such as: weeknight but not depressing, 30 minutes or less, kid-friendly, dinner party dazzler, and one-pot meal. All recipes get straight to the point! No need to mindlessly scroll through a short novella of what inspired the creator to try “baked mac-n-cheese.” No – the WSJ recipe book lists only a short description of the dish, cooking time, serving size, ingredients, and directions! Beautiful images accompany each recipe, as well as a link to the article the recipe first appeared in (such as this step-by-step on how to repurpose your Thanksgiving leftovers).

If the WSJ isn’t your thing, below are several other websites to guide you through preparing fantastic meals this holiday season:

  1. All Recipes
  2. The Food Network
  3. Tasty
  4. Epicurious
  5. Yummly
