This yummy mini egg cheesecake recipe is the perfect Easter dessert and a fun way to use up those bags of mini Cadbury eggs I know you all are hoarding!...

While safety should remain a priority, there are still ways to be festive and follow the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines. Whether you are planning a birthday party, an adult rendezvous, or a little something for yourself, you should keep the party small—10 or fewer people would be safest. Definitely host the event outdoors, weather-permitting, because the fresh air should help mitigate the spread of germs (as will wearing masks)....

Though the powder has recently entered the limelight, it has been used for centuries due to its medicinal properties and health benefits in many parts of Asia and Africa....

Let’s start with the basics. How Is Bourbon Made? Bourbon and whisky are both made from a grain mash, with corn constituting at least 51 percent of the mashbill for bourbon, according to Potter. The grain is then milled, mashed, and fermented. At Maker’s Mark, they add a proprietary strain of yeast that has been passed down from generation to generation within the Samuels family. So, what exactly happens during the fermentation process?...

What Is Nitro Cold Brew? Nitro cold brew is made with nitrogen or nitrous oxide, which creates café-style foam and a creamy texture. “Think of it like a carbonated beverage, which has carbon dioxide (CO2) dissolved into a solution to create a fizzy effervescent mouthfeel, and nitro cold brew has nitrogen (N2) dissolved into a solution to create [that same] creamy mouthfeel. We do this by exposing the cold brew to nitrogen at extremely high pressures, forcing it into the actual beverage,” explains Wolczynski....

However, the recalls are also reassuring. Food manufacturers and inspectors are getting better at finding potential problems. That means they can catch likely contamination before it affects large swaths of consumers, or even any consumer at all. The brands can also learn from these errors and put new food safety measures in place that can improve their processes and protect their customers. If you discover you have a food that’s been recalled, don’t panic....

Our neighborhood is so good with decorations that I created a Halloween neighborhood scavenger hunt just to take my kids out to see them!...

Serve alongside roasted meats, at Thanksgiving dinner, or as part of a special brunch. Shopping tip: Look for potatoes—both the Yukon gold and the sweet—that are similar in size and shape, which will help make the layers even.

Someone asked me the other day for a Christmas cake recipe and I realized that I don’t have too many. I have this red velvet cake, this eggnog pound cake, and this who pudding (that’s kind of like a cake), but that’s really it. So I thought it was time for another one! This gingerbread tres leches has all of the flavors of gingerbread with the moist sweetness of a tres leches cake....

In the 1800s, when trick-or-treating first became popular in the United States, children played mischievous pranks rather than asking for candy. Back then, pranks were mild. “Shop signs were switched, gates disassembled, and flour-filled socks were flung at those wearing black coats,” explains Lisa Morton, author of Trick or Treat: A History of Halloween. But city planners in Chicago had a better idea—to busy idle hands with festivities and encourage homeowners to do the same....

Serve as a main dish or plate with grilled chicken or classic meatballs. P.S. If you’re not a fan of mint, swap in parsley to draw out the earthy flavors in the sauce. *Save time by buying roasted, skinned hazelnuts.
