I've been here many times. It’s time to make a recipe that calls for honey, whether it’s honey lemon tea or oven-fried hot honey chicken, and I reach for that old jar of honey in the back of my pantry. It’s slightly crystallized and doesn’t look as smooth as it once did.

This Is How Long Honey Actually Lasts, According to an Expert

Macaroni and cheese is the ultimate comfort food. It's loved by kids and adults alike, and, conveniently, you can order it from quite a few fast food restaurants. However, some options are much tastier than others. If you love mac and cheese as much as I do, which is a lot, knowing how fast food recipes measure up against each other in a head-to-head comparison will serve you well. After all, you may be in a hurry if you're grabbing fast food, but that doesn't mean you have to settle for subpar mac.

The Chicago-style hot dog has become a staple of The Windy City. Not surprisingly, this dish's rise to fame is steeped in Chicago's rich history. You may have found yourself wondering where hot dogs come from, and how they became so popular. As hot dog historian Dr. Bruce Kraig told CNN Travel, the dish didn't make its way to America until the 1840s, when German immigrants brought their cuisine across the Atlantic. However, Chicago's unique hot dog style was developed during the Great Depression, even earning the nickname "Depression Sandwich" (via Block Club Chicago).

A sunny summer BBQ might sound like the perfect occasion to prepare a plump peach pie. That is, until you're tussling with a tangled, sticky, and uncooperative pie crust in a muggy kitchen. Even though the farmers market is bursting with ripe red berries and round stone fruit, the warmer months often don't provide the ideal conditions for crafting up flaky, flavorful tarts. The power of a pie lies in the perfect crust, and there's nothing more frustrating than struggling to weave a neat lattice in 80 degree heat. Luckily for you (and the attendees of your next cookout), there is one super simple solution that is about to make your kitchen a little more conducive to forming an effortless pie crust.

Why You Should Ice Your Countertops Before Making Pie Crust

You've probably encountered pimentos without even knowing it. The brightly colored vegetables are often found diced and mixed into cheese dips or tucked neatly into pitted green olives. Yes, that familiar red filling in your olives is actually a pimento pepper. While this might be its claim to fame, the pimento is so much more than just a pretty garnish. It's a highly versatile vegetable that can lend itself to many forms and uses in the kitchen.

It's been more than four decades since former child star William “Billie” Thomas Jr. died in Los Angeles of a heart attack at only 49 on October 10, 1980. Best known as "Buckwheat," the character he portrayed in the original Hal Roach-ignited Our Gang/Little Rascals classic film shorts from 1934 to 1944, Thomas faced similar challenges and misfortunes of several of his co-stars and other former child actors. This is his story.

Lately, it seems as if banana-inspired items are all the rage. From the Kit Kat Banana Split McFlurry to the announcement of Monkey Business being named flavor of the month for September, the fruit has been making its mark in the food world. But perhaps the biggest banana news in some time came when Chick-fil-A announced the return of the Banana Pudding Shake for the first time in 13 years.

Cast iron cookware can be complicated. After all, there are a few extra precautions you'll need to take when working with it, including using the right utensils, properly removing stuck-on food, and seasoning your pans well.

Subway was where my family stopped for sustenance during long drives. And with all the sports my brothers and I played in school, we were in the car a lot for soccer games, races, and swim meets. I’m not crazy about Subway sandwiches, but they’re easy to grab and tuck away on a busy day. Not to mention there are very few options when you’re in a sub-5,000 population town in the woods of Maine for a cross-country ski race.

My All-Time Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Cookie dough is often rolled in sugar before baking to give the cookies a sweet crunchy coating, but for a flavor boost your taste buds will love, try adding some salt to the mix. Salty and sweet is the ultimate flavor combination for the tastiest desserts – a dash of salt enhances the sweetness in food. This is the main reason why most cookie recipes call for a pinch of salt (around ¼ to ½ teaspoon, generally).

Roll Your Cookies In A Salty-Sweet Coating For Unforgettable Flavor

It's easy to tell when you've undercooked a pizza: The crust hasn't browned at all, the middle looks too chewy, and the dough will be soggy in a very gross, unappetizing way. There's also some risk: Raw dough can contain pathogens that you'd kill by cooking properly, and a pizza isn't safe until it's entirely cooked. When you ask about the ideal temperature for baking a pizza in a standard kitchen oven, the conventional wisdom is "as hot as your oven gets." A common mistake with cooking pizzas is temperature, and whatever temperatures you're used to cooking at, you likely need to go even higher for a pizza.

Some great dishes are born from minimalism, but not chili. To make a good, cookoff-worthy chili, you should be dumping about half of your spice cabinet in there, and that's only a slight exaggeration. Chili should have a bold flavor. Of course, that means plenty of chili powder, cayenne pepper, and hot paprika, but you need more than just spiciness. A touch of smokiness will help you harken back to the early versions of chili eaten around campfires on the American frontier.

Elevating your home cooked beef to steakhouse quality is no easy task. According to chefs, restaurant steaks taste better due to several factors, like improved heat sources, ingredient quality, and not to mention preparation skill. However, that's not to say enhancing your beef isn't worth attempting, with an excellent technique being dry-aging. By resting steak in a specific climatic environment, the flavor intensifies, develops new savory notes, and the cut becomes more tender.

In the realm of astrology, each zodiac sign brings its unique set of characteristics, strengths, and challenges to a relationship. While the concept of being "challenging" is subjective and can vary greatly from one individual to another, in this context, we'll define it as someone who more sensitive, needy or overwhelming. Certain zodiac signs are known for their intense, dominant, or challenging personality traits that might not mesh well with someone seeking a calmer, more relaxed, more nurturing connection. Here's an exploration of the zodiac signs that might pose a challenge for those who consider themselves more on the sensitive side or simply seek a less turbulent relationship.
