I think I speak for the masses when I say that scrambled eggs are one of the most delicious, timeless, enjoyable dishes ever created. It’s the first thing I ever learned to cook with my mom at three years old, standing beside her on a chair, with a kitchen towel “apron” wrapped around my waist. Its the culinary embodiment of sheer simplicity and pure magic.

The Secret Ingredient for Fluffier Scrambled Eggs Is Already In Your Fridge

Mug cakes became quite the rage here in the States a few years back, and now, they have made it across the Atlantic to Italy. I was so excited to see Tazza di Torta popping up on menus during my last visit to Rome. I decided it would be fun to take my favorite Italian dessert, affogato, which is simply a scoop of gelato served with a hot pour of espresso on top, with mug cake. The cake is simple and gets a nice rich middle from the chocolate hazelnut spread. Then, the espresso and gelato take you right to the edge, of the mug, and your seat.

Peanut butter is part of the starting lineup of the pantry staple essentials in our Test Kitchen and nearly every BHG editor’s home. Although we fell in love with it as kiddos as part of PB&Js (sans-crust at the time, of course), we’ve grown to adore featuring peanut butter in both sweet and savory dishes. A spoonful is all it takes to transform a bowl of morning oats or quinoa from boring to day-brightening. We also rely on it often to star in cookies, Reese’s copycat cups, cozy peanut stews, and beyond.

Throwing bacon in the oven is not only the easiest way to cook it, it's also the best. Or at least, it could be the best ... if you cook it properly. Getting bacon to become toothsome and delicious is a bit of a balancing act. There are several factors at play here, but a principal one is figuring out the right temperature to cook it at in the first place.

What's The Best Temperature To Cook Bacon In The Oven, Really?

Often, eggs become the centerpiece of breakfast. They contain lots of protein and are the ideal building block for a myriad of breakfast dishes, but what if you don't like eggs? Actually, what if you downright hate them or are possibly even allergic? Does that mean your breakfast options have to suffer? Absolutely not! Several delicious breakfast foods have nothing to do with eggs, and many of them are somewhat underrated (at least in some circles).

Underrated Dishes To Eat For Breakfast If You Hate Eggs

This classic Bundt cake is sturdy enough to hold the shape of your finest decorative pan and has a fine, buttery, tender crumb packed with lots of vanilla flavor. The thin, crackly glaze adds texture and intensifies the vanilla factor, but the cake is just as tasty with a dusting of powdered sugar instead. Either way, you’ll find yourself slicing off a tiny bit of cake every time you walk by the plate.

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.

Canned tuna is a classic pantry staple that can often come to the rescue when you need a midweek dinner idea at the last minute. With a long shelf life and virtually no preparation needed, it is always worth having a couple of cans in the cupboard as a standby. You may have noticed, however, that the canned tuna section in the grocery store is getting bigger, and choosing a can of tuna is not the straightforward task it used to be. From choosing between albacore and skipjack, to deciding whether to even buy it in a can, there is a seemingly endless list of options to consider.

Smoothies have become increasingly popular, with many partakers drawn in by the nutrient-packed servings in this delicious, easy-to-make-and-drink meal. When preparing smoothies, most people use typical ingredients, such as mangos, bananas, yogurt, and spinach. However, one less common ingredient you should try is sweet potatoes. Juicing this root vegetable is a simple way to boost the taste and quality of your blended drink with minimal extra work required.

America is taco obsessed — according to a 2024 Worldmetrics report, the nation is the world's largest consumer of these topped or filled tortillas, collectively eating more than 4.5 billion every year, and around four per person monthly. There is even a day of the week dedicated to them — Taco Tuesday. When it comes to types of tacos, there are the tried and true favorites, like the country's most popular order, carne asada (grilled steak). However, true taco lovers know there is always room in their stomachs for new and exciting ways to enjoy this elite street food — especially one that embraces another dish that is indelible to the American palate — the smash burger.

If your mind goes to cold cuts when you think of sandwiches, you're underestimating the power of a fresh tomato. With nice bread and good tomatoes, all you really need is salt, mayonnaise, and maybe some mozzarella to create a delicious lunch or snack. However, if you want a little more flavor for your tomato sandwich, you can use something that you probably already have in your spice rack.

Just like with anything, kitchen trends come and go, leaving behind a trail of out-of-style and obsolete gadgets in their wake. Even 50 years ago, kitchens looked a lot different than they do now. Colorful patterned wallpaper, Formica countertops, and avocado green everything were all the rage back then. Kitchen tools and appliances also looked different, with some now nearly forgotten with the passing of time. If you were around during their peak popularity, these items might stir up a sense of nostalgia 一 or, you might still have one or two of them tucked away in the depths of your kitchen cabinets.

Kitchen Tools That Were Popular 50 Years Ago But No One Uses Anymore

Grilled potatoes make one of the world's finest sides. Filling and flavorful, they're the perfect accompaniment for anything from grilled steak to pork to veggie burgers and beyond. However, the best way to prepare potatoes for the grill is not always clear-cut. One school of thought insists on wrapping the spuds (whether whole, sliced, quartered, or halved) in aluminum foil before introducing them to the grill. The other philosophy eschews any wrapping in favor of putting the taters down bare over the heat.

Whipping up a fully-loaded meal centered around the perfect piece of fish is a rewarding and satisfying experience. Picking out the right fish filet for you is, of course, quintessential to making said dish, but sometimes the right piece of seafood can leave you with a heap of scraps. You may be looking for ways to cut down on food waste, whether it be to save money or to reduce your environmental impact. Thankfully, there's a wonderful way you can use up your fish scraps that both eliminates waste and gives you another delicious dish.

Leftover Fish Scraps Are The Perfect Excuse To Make A Flavor-Packed Stock

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but it might also seem like the meal you have the least time for. Between getting ready for work and commuting, breakfast falls by the wayside, and you end up grabbing a granola bar or yogurt instead of something that will keep you full until lunch. That's why make-ahead meals are so important — and breakfast burritos are perfect for this role because they last several days in the refrigerator, can be handheld, and are loaded with filling ingredients.

Baking is both an art and a science. The more you practice, the better you become at it.
