The online debate about tilapia is endless. Did you know that it's a fish that's pumped full of hormones and fed its own waste? No, wait, it's an environmentally friendly and sustainable mild fish that can carry many flavor profiles and works well in a variety of dishes. With fans and critics either singing its praises or bashing it, one must ask the question: Is tilapia really a garbage fish?

A perfect whipped cream can be the final piece of the puzzle that moves a dessert from the realm of good to great, or from great to truly transcendent. The recipe for whipped cream is quite basic on its own, as it only combines a select few ingredients. But getting it to whip just right can often be a test of one's patience, especially if you're preparing it for a dish that you plan on serving later. You want that dessert to be a show-stopper, the final exclamation point of a delicious meal, but how do you keep your whipped cream display-worthy?

The Simple Hack For Whipped Cream Worthy Of A Bakery Display Case

There's not much more classic, comforting, or old school than a warm just-out-of-the-oven chocolate chip cookie. Everyone has a favorite trusted chocolate chip cookie recipe — whether it's a tested elevated version they swear outshines them all, or the trusty basic formula on the back of the chocolate chips bag. And really, you can barely mess up a chocolate chip cookie — whether you prefer them thin and crisp or a perfectly gooey and chewy cookie, studded with semi sweet or dark chocolate chips, we've never met one we didn't like.

5 Pro-Baker Tricks To Make Your Chocolate Chip Cookies Taste More Exciting

If you're looking for a way to incorporate more vegetables into your cooking, canned corn is an easy and budget-friendly option that makes this sweet, tender veggie available all year. It also makes a fantastic item to stockpile in your pantry in case you have to deal with extreme weather or other hazards that might knock out power. The best brands have multiple styles available and offer a great value, not to mention fantastic taste. Flavor is the top criteria for my taste tests but texture and variety are also key. In my opinion, canned corn should be sweet but still maintain a hint of saltiness, which actually brings out the natural taste of the corn. It should also be tender without crossing over to mushy and not have an excess amount of water in the can, which can impact the flavor and texture. I like corn that has a bit of crispiness without being tough and chewy, which can be common at the base of whole kernel corn.

Latin America is home to some of the best cuisines on Earth. From the warm beaches of the Caribbean to the chilly peaks of the Andes, each region brings its own natural bounties, and each nation its own unique dishes. The concept of picking national dishes is a bit of a controversial one, however. After all, how can you pick just one singular plate to represent an entire nation's culinary identity and history? It's asking quite a lot. Complicating matters is the fact that there isn't any official body that decides national dishes for the world.

The Must-Try National Dishes Of 5 Latin American Countries

If you were to take a bite of funeral potatoes without knowing their name, grief and death would be the farthest thing from your mind. Made with some form of potatoes — hashbrowns, tater tots, and cubed potatoes are most common — cheese, creamy sauce, and a crunchy element like breadcrumbs or cornflakes, funeral potatoes are comfort food at its finest. They taste how a warm hug feels, so it does make sense that this dish is associated with a group of people in need of some comfort: mourners.

In the heat of summer, there is simply nothing better than a chilled glass of crisp white wine. While I truly love perusing the aisles of a local wine shop to find a fun new bottle to try, sometimes it’s nice to have a go-to that doesn’t require splurging. Though I’m more cautious of super inexpensive wines, especially whites, you don’t necessarily have to break the bank for a good bottle and Trader Joe's Espiral Vinho Verde proves it.

This little lady requires some decompression time upon arriving at her new home to settle in comfortably.

If you were to rank summery spirits, there’s a good chance gin would come up on top. This form of alcohol begins as a neutral spirit, just like vodka. But while vodka is distilled multiple times and filtered to remove as much flavor as possible, gin takes the opposite route.

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.
