Still recovering after all of the cooking and cleaning from last week's feast? If you need some downtime in the kitchen — or maybe just a break from the leftovers — we've rounded up a handful of quick and easy dinners for the start of December.
Beef tenderloin may seem like it takes a lot of effort to make, but this recipe comes together in under an hour. Plus, with the use of a meat thermometer, you can easily achieve the perfect level of doneness whether you prefer a rare or well-done roast. Chicken Marsala is another weeknight-friendly meal, especially if you pound the chicken breasts extra thin. This will not only cut down on cook time, but also deliver more flavor in every bite. If you're looking for a lightened-up dish after indulging in too much turkey, try making some eggplant Parmesan meatballs. The veggie-forward skillet is still super cozy and satisfying. And finally, to round out the menu, serve any of these recipes with a side of fluffy pretzel rolls and festive gingerbread cookies for dessert.

What to cook this week
Not only does Morgan Baker's roasted beef tenderloin look gorgeous as a holiday main, but the melt-in-your-mouth texture will have your guests coming back for seconds — and thirds!
This is one of those dishes that pairs well with everything. Want a hearty meal? Opt for creamy mashed potatoes or garlic butter pasta. Looking to lighten things up? A simple green salad will do!
This recipe from Riley Wofford is perfect for an easy meal prep. Once your eggplants are roasted and your mixture is chilled, simply add the meatballs to a skillet and cook until golden brown.
Nothing beats homemade dinner rolls, but this pretzel version takes things up a whole other level. They're soft, chewy and sprinkled with coarse salt for a fun twist to your bread basket.
The best part about making gingerbread cookies? Decorating them, of course! Add colorful sprinkles, small candies, edible glitter, royal icing or a dusting of powdered sugar and cinnamon.
