If you’re not the meal-prep type, the fact that most recipes are designed for family-sized portions is much less convenient than Ina Garten lets on.

What’s in my farmer’s market haul that’s about to go bad? How long does a veggie burger take to defrost? And what kind of dinner recipe can I make for one person that won’t leave me eating beans six meals in a row? But it’s 2023, baby, and it's time to introduce the new class of reigning viral TikTok recipes.Figuring out dinner for yourself can be, if not quite rocket science, then at least as difficult as getting a formula to work in Excel. If you recall, the "Gigi Hadid pasta" and the baked feta phenomenon ran sh*t in 20.

And just like the distantly-related dance trends, with each new season, the app is replenished with genius food hacks and drool-worthy recipes. From Emily Mariko to that hot guy who chops things really fast (as he’s formally known in my head), FoodTok is full of straight-up chefs disguised as TikTok stars. Now, one of the best parts of TikTok, IMHO, is the fact that there are hundreds (thousands?) of TikTokers determined to teach you how to eat well, no matter your skill level. (For real, if I haven’t responded to your texts in the past two years, you know who to blame.)

It is the big sister I never had and the mentor I never knew I needed all wrapped up in one time-sucking package. Honestly, friends, where the heck would we be without TikTok? In the past month alone, that addicting little app has informed me that I have been chopping onions wrong my whole life, exactly where to buy the best Aritzia bodysuit dupe on Amazon, what you can expect the inside of a sorority house in Alabama to look like, and So.
