Recently, while at a restaurant, I ordered a paloma, the grapefruit and tequila cocktail with a soft pink hue. It’s a pretty cocktail, and it was made prettier by its presentation in a ribbed highball glass. You may have seen this glassware on Instagram or TikTok as influencers love this trendy cocktail glass with a classic vibe.

You’d be hard-pressed to find a savory recipe that doesn’t use onions. Because of that, you likely always have a few (or a lot) on hand to grab at a moment's notice. However, there’s little worse than getting ready to make a recipe, only to find that your onions look a little…worse for wear.

Stop Storing Onions This Way—Use These Clever Solutions Instead

Cutting boards are very personal, and there are a lot of factors that go into picking the right one for your cooking style. First, there’s the question of wood vs. plastic and whether you want one with a reservoir for liquid (occasionally called a juice groove); additionally, some prefer low-footprint options like a silicone cutting mat. There’s also the question of size and thickness since you can get cutting boards ranging from a fraction of an inch thick to ones that are numerous inches thick, like this colossal, heavy-duty John Boos block I have. And if you do go with wood, the type and cut you choose can send you down a very deep rabbit hole trying to pick the right thing.

I Cook Every Day, and I Use This Plastic Cutting Board Way More Than My Expensive Wood Ones

Food, like I’m sure it is with most people, is extremely important in my family. Being of Mexican descent, it’s a way to feel closer to our roots and express our heritage. Some of my favorite memories are watching my Nana cook in the kitchen, making menudo during the holidays or bringing home barbacoa on Sundays for the family to enjoy.

Inspired by the beloved boxed snack cakes, these homemade versions have all the classic flavors and textures, and their individual-size portions make them party-perfect. I grew up with one of those especially magical super moms who made all kinds of delicious food—from savory suppers to special sweets—totally from scratch. Like most kids in that situation, I had no idea how lucky I was. I’d regularly try to trade homemade cookies for the sweet snacks my friends brought to school. I deeply envied one friend whose mother kept multiple boxes of store-bought desserts like Hostess Cup Cakes and Little Debbies stocked at all times. Every day, my friend would fling open the cabinet doors, and carefully select which individually wrapped cake to slide into the outer pocket of her lunch box. For her, this was a daily routine, but I swear I heard angels sing when I saw that cupboard for the first time. I loved snack cakes. I loved everything about them: They were portioned and portable, were cream-filled, slathered in icing, or dunked in chocolate, and they all had fun names. They were truly the stuff of my childhood dreams, mostly because I never really had them.

I’ll be honest: I’m not usually the kind of person who asks to see the dessert menu at the end of the meal. Don’t get me wrong, I love a sweet treat as much as the next person, but I’d rather fill up on my main course and enjoy a homemade cookie or bowl of ice cream later in the comfort of my home—once I’m in my stretchy sweatpants (à la Joey from “Friends” in his “Thanksgiving pants”).

The 2-Ingredient Dessert I Can’t Stop Making

There is nothing better than a fresh, hot French fry—specifically, a fry that you eat from the bag right as you leave the drive-thru. But with high reward comes high costs: There also is nothing worse than a cold, leftover French fry. Not only that, when you try to reheat them, they typically are just not the same.

How to Store Leftover French Fries to Keep Them Fresh For Longer

Listen, I’m a huge fan of everything pumpkin. When fall rolls around, I get giddy at the thought of consuming everything and anything pumpkin-spiced. Coffee, desserts, candy, and even the scented stuff I can’t eat (but desperately want to). But it's time to come to terms that there are other fall flavors that sometimes get overshadowed by the kingpin that is pumpkin—and maybe it's about time we give them their time to shine.

If you want to beat the heat with a delicious treat, popsicles are a solid bet. And because homemade desserts are always better than store-bought, you can have the best of both worlds by creating your own popsicles. Using your own molds allows you to control the ingredients and flavors that go into your popsicles. You could make a popsicle with fresh watermelon and a hint of mint for a refreshing taste, or go old-school and recreate the classic and nostalgic fudgy pop.

There are many kitchen staples we need. Cleaning supplies, pantry must-haves, and small appliances and tools help make our everyday lives easier. And while trash bags definitely fall under the kitchen staples category, they’re probably not an item you’re necessarily excited about buying. That is unless it’s a certain, one-of-a-kind bag that launched last year and had shoppers as enthusiastic as you can be about trash.
