When food and recipe creators are watching
Recipes get watched around meal times and saved for the weekend. Late afternoon, when people wonder what's for dinner, is prime time. Sunday morning catches the meal-prep crowd planning their week.
Tips to get more from each post
- Post dinner ideas in the late afternoon, right when people ask what to cook.
- Sunday morning is meal-prep time. Share make-ahead recipes then.
- Quick weeknight meals do best Tuesday through Thursday.
