When I was a child in the Philippines, my mother made mango float all of the time in the summer. She made the dessert from the mangoes that my father harvested from our farm. Mango float is a no-bake, four-ingredient dessert made popular by The Philippines, whose national fruit is the mango. The chilled dessert consists of sweet, ripe mango stacked between layers of whipped cream and held together by crisp graham crackers. This results in a splendid cake-like dessert that’s ideal for summer.

Homemade chocolate fudge may be one of life's most nostalgic foods. For me, it brings to mind the "individually-wrapped in cellophane" fudge squares that a classmate's mom some times brought to my elementary school classroom to share with all of us for a Halloween or Christmas party. The flavor was about as appetizing as the sentence describing it. And, it was rock hard.

Not so long ago, there was a time when food delivery seemed relegated to pizza and perhaps the occasional order from a local Chinese restaurant. Now, many restaurants rely heavily on third-party delivery services to get their food into the hands of hungry customers. Services such as DoorDash, UberEats, and...

This pie is, well, easy as pie to make. It takes minutes to prepare and requires only three ingredients: a container of Cool Whip, a six-pack of Hershey's bars and a premade graham cracker crust.

Wendy’s is no stranger when it comes to bringing its customers value. Earlier this year the fast food chain offered many of its popular menu items for $1 and gave away free Baconators. And we can’t forget the deal on National Hamburger Day when we scored Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers for just one cent.

I love chocolate chip cookies, especially the moist, chewy kind that are slightly undercooked. I've tried a lot of different recipes in search of just the right cookie and this vintage version is one of the best.

RATE THIS RECIPE (29) No-bake desserts are a godsend during the warm-weather months. When summer temperatures begin to soar, the last thing you want to do is turn on your oven. Sweet treats that can be assembled and finished in the refrigerator or freezer become far more appealing than the likes of brownies and cookies. This no-bake icebox cake is inspired by one of my favorite desserts — strawberry shortcake. And the best part is that you don’t need your oven for this frosty riff.

It’s a bit surprising that McDonald’s Kit Kat Banana Split McFlurry, with its inclusion of bananas, doesn’t have a Minions tie-in. The McFlurry cups could’ve totally been dressed up as Minions. But I guess it would’ve been weird to have two tie-in promotions simultaneously. The...

Chocolate cake was always one of my favorite desserts growing up. It’s what I requested for my birthday, and it was my response whenever my mom asked, “What dessert should I make?” Then, in my 20s, I had the most delicious brownie that completely shifted my opinion. It was Julia Child’s brownie recipe, so I’m now the biggest fan of it.

Growing up in Texas, the beginning of summer break was especially exciting because it was also the start of peach season. One of my favorite summer traditions was going to a local orchard with my mom and sister on one of the first days of break to buy the fruit fresh.

There are certain classic dishes that defy alteration. Just try making banana pudding without vanilla wafer cookies or nachos without melty cheese, then see if you’re invited back to the table. Other dishes might seem set in stone—until a secret ingredient comes along to completely change the game. That was the case with this Amazing Crusted Chicken and the Best Potatoes You’ll Ever Taste (you’ll never guess what the secret ingredients are!). But what about a dish as simple as spaghetti and tomato sauce? Is there really anything we don’t know about this dish?

If you’ve spent any time on the internet in the past year, you’ve likely come across the stainless steel tumbler frenzy.

Not only do they keep drinks incredibly cold for hours (sometimes days), but they can hold a substantial amount of water to achieve daily intake goals.
