Melissa Knific’s easy turkey meatloaf was a chart topper this week here at New York Times Cooking, and I totally get it. It’s cold out; maybe you’re snowed in. There’s ground turkey in the freezer, a lone onion rolling around, a bruised apple that went to and from school three times. Why wouldn’t you want to turn it all into a hearty, charming dinner replete with some roasted potatoes and broccoli? I just hope you have bread on hand for sandwiches with the leftovers.

If you make one thing this weekend
A potentially inflammatory statement: I prefer pancakes to waffles [ducks]. I like waffles, too! I just love pancakes more, because they’re fun to flip and come with a built-in cook’s treat (the first pancake, which always turns out subpar and therefore needs to be eaten stoveside, between gulps of milky coffee). I’ve been making Genevieve Ko’s oatmeal pancakes on repeat, but I’m going to make Samantha Seneviratne’s banana pancakes this weekend to use up some brown bananas I forgot I’d stashed in the freezer.
New and noteworthy
Melissa Clark has three new recipes that put citrus marmalade to good use: spicy marmalade chicken and sweet potatoes, carrot muffins with marmalade and these adorable, one-bowl chewy marmalade oatmeal cookies. You might already have all the ingredients: marmalade, butter, brown sugar (either light or dark), baking powder, baking soda, salt, flour and rolled oats. This is exactly the sort of easy Sunday bake I want to give myself as weekday treat insurance.
