When I was a kid, I thought, when I'm an adult, I'm eating ice cream for dinner every day, and no one will stop me. I dreamed of bubble gum-flavored scoops with rainbow sprinkles, chocolate sauce, mini M&M'S, and whipped cream. A girl can dream. My dream came true! As...

I Asked 4 Food Editors To Name the Best Vanilla Ice Cream, They All Said the Same Brand

Cake mixes don’t take up much real estate in my pantry. When it comes time to bake a birthday cake, I turn to the beloved Best Birthday Cake recipe from Smitten Kitchen. However, I’m all too familiar with the late-night run to the grocery store to pick up a boxed mix and icing when the inevitable “Oh shoot, THAT’S tomorrow?!” happens.

I Asked 6 Bakers To Name the Best Boxed Cake Mix—They All Said the Same Brand

Could there be anything better than a cocktail that tastes like candy? Obviously, this is a rhetorical question for true lovers of both candy and cocktails. The better question is which cocktail tastes like candy without tasting too sweet or, even worse, cloying. The answer to this non-rhetorical question is...

Making ice cream at home is fun, far cheaper than buying it, and dangerously with a reliable automatic ice cream maker. Cuisinart is a leader in the frozen dessert category and the stalwart kitchen brand's ice cream makers consistently rank well in consumer sentiment in buyer reviews and on Reddit. But as CNET's resident kitchen guy and a true ice cream zealot, I wanted to see for myself. After testing eight models myself from a range of manufacturers, Cuisinart's 2-quart double-insulated machine tops our list as the best ice cream maker to buy in 2024.

Twinkies are a bona fide national treasure and have been making our mouths water since they first sprung onto the scene in all their cakey, cream-filled glory back in 1930. Even superheroes are fans (flick through an old "Batman" comic, and you might see one hidden amongst the pages). The idea for these iconic snack cakes was cooked up by James A. Dewar, the manager of Continental's Hostess Bakery in Chicago, and originally contained a banana-flavored center. This was changed to the vanilla filling we know today during World War II when, like many other foods, the fruit was in short supply.

Whether you prefer penne or fettuccine, a hearty plate of pasta with Alfredo sauce always hits the spot after a long day. Tasty as is or made more filling with steamed broccoli or strips of crispy breaded chicken, the star of this comforting dish is its rich, creamy sauce. Despite the fact that Olive Garden's signature Alfredo sauce used to be shrouded in secrecy, the savory stuff is generally straightforward in terms of its ingredients, which include butter, heavy cream, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and some seasonings and herbs like parsley. However, it can still be deceptively difficult to get right. Besides flavor, of course, the sign of a restaurant-worthy cream sauce usually comes down to consistency; Alfredo sauce shouldn't be so thick that it's unappetizingly goopy or so thin that it can't cling to pasta properly.

This year’s area of low oxygen in the Gulf of Mexico is larger than average, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on Thursday. The “dead zone” is approximately 6,705 square miles , as measured last week. Within NOAA’s 38 years of measuring the dead zone, this year’s assessment marks the 12th-largest area of low to no oxygen, which can kill fish and marine life.

You might consider Popeyes your source for all things chicken rather than dessert, but it’s stepping up its sweets game with Chocolate Chip Biscuits. And, of course, we tried them to see if they're a solid addition to the fast food chain’s dessert menu or if they should be a temporary fix for your sweet tooth rather than a permanent fave after you order some of those crunchy chicken tenders or wings.Before the Popeyes Chocolate Chip Biscuits, Popeyes already had the Strawberry Biscuit. It was only natural for chocolate chips to be the next step in the biscuit's evolution. Does...

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.
