When it comes to frosty treats, ice cream reigns supreme and remains one of America’s favorite desserts, whether as a cool ending to a sultry summer day or the perfect topping for a slice of apple pie. And with unrelenting heat waves being the summer norm, certainly a bowl of ice cream is more appetizing than chocolate cake. But like most sweets, it can be downright indulgent, with high amounts of saturated fat and added sugar that means an extra scoop or two can derail your healthy eating goals.

After eight years of testing dark chocolate, a new study reveals many products were contaminated with lead and cadmium — two heavy metals toxic to human health. Organic chocolates were “significantly more likely” to have higher levels of both heavy metals than conventional options, researchers at George Washington University and ConsumerLab.com reported Wednesday in Frontiers in Nutrition.

Here is a cookie from my childhood that Mom always had in the cookie jar. Peanut butter cookies were an easy favorite, and we just loved helping her make them they were super easy.

4 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe

Step 1Line a 20.5cm square tin that’s at least 4cm deep with baking parchment, making sure excess hangs over the sides. For the base, whizz the biscuits in a food processor until finely crushed (alternatively bash in a food bag with a rolling pin). Pulse/mix in the coconut oil until combined. Empty into the lined tin and press to level with the back of a spoon. Chill until needed.

My Great Aunt Wini was known for her chocolate desserts—so much so that her wedding gift to my mom was a collection of recipe cards. If there was a bundt cake being baked in my house growing up, you can bet it was Wini’s chocolate version. Chocolate frosting for a cake, or chocolate sauce for ice cream? Wini’s. And of course, if we wanted chocolate mousse, the ingredients for this easy recipe I’m sharing with you went straight into the blender.

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

Peanut butter has long been a go-to snack for anyone trying to up their protein intake. Whether added to smoothies, spread onto fruit or as a topping on porridge, it’s filling, tasty and good for us.But recently other types of nut butter, such as almond butter, are growing in popularity.  Once considered a niche product, almond butter is now rapidly gaining popularity, offering a different nutritional profile to a peanut spread, as well as a slightly sweeter flavour. While some peanut butters can have a savoury, almost salty, taste, there’s a marzipan-like edge to almond butter which some people...

Three things make up a quintessential Chicago-style pizza: a thick, pie-like, deep-dish crust, a rich, chunky, fresh tomato sauce, and a heck of a lot of gooey mozzarella cheese. None are negotiable, but with the latter, there is a little wiggle room. Mozzarella doesn’t have to be made traditionally—in fact, it’s arguably even better when it’s made with plants. Below, we’ve gathered three top spots for vegan cheese in Chicago, offering everything from dairy-free mozzarella (perfect for pizza!) to feta and gouda.

SAVEUR contributing editor Jessie YuChen often throws pan-cultural popups and parties around New York City—sometimes in restaurants, but also in shops, homes, and event spaces with varying collections of kitchen equipment. This vibrant, violet-colored ice cream suits all kinds of events nicely; the plant-based treat comes together easily, no ice-cream machine required. Sweet-and-salty flavor combinations are beloved in Taiwan, where YuChen grew up; they suggest sandwiching this ice cream between Ritz crackers or even scallion crisps for an unexpected savory twist.

Do you know any self-righteous person who rarely apologizes? We all have different weaknesses and offend others once in a while. However, some zodiac signs’ pettiness and insecurity hinder them from seeking forgiveness when they cross someone’s path. Instead, they try to prove that they were right when they did something.

3 Zodiac Signs That Don’t Apologize

I think I’ve learned more about cooking from Alton Brown than maybe anyone else out there. (I watched A LOT of hours of Good Eats in the early 2000s. Like, a lot.) His science-based cooking approach is entertaining, sure, but his recipes also turn out delicious food. There are a number of his recipes that I’ve been making for twenty years now! So it’s no surprise that when I’m looking for an outstanding brownie recipe that will stand up to other celebrity brownie recipes, I’d look to him.
