Here’s What to Cook Every Night This Week (February 6 – 12)

Super Bowl LVII is just days away. We don’t know about you, but we’re psyched for the big game—not because we love football, but because we love the low-lift, shareable foods that come with it. Instead of waiting all week to get our fix, we’re cooking seven celebratory dinners leading up to the main event. We’re talking chicken wings, nachos and more; just make sure you have plenty of cold beer to wash ’em down.
