Time to reseason the cast iron: Rub a thin, even layer of vegetable oil or shortening onto the skillet. Place it upside down on a rack in the oven, with a tin foil-lined baking sheet below to catch any drips....

We’ve already ranted and raved about the rising food and dining movements you can expect to see this year—now it’s time to comb through the buzziest healthy eating trends.

Plus, you can keep an eye out for sales and deals over the next few months to get your presents early and make them more thoughtful. If you have been good about saving and sticking to a budget all year, there’s no reason that should go out the window come the holiday season....

It’s perfectly OK if you don’t agree because, in my humble opinion, both of those types of pie should be required at every holiday dinner party from September through December. But from-scratch pie baking can be an intimidating art form, which is why we’ve rounded up tons of content to make this year’s dessert the most delicious one yet. For starters, find the best types of apples to use in apple pie, then check out Thomas Keller’s top tips for apple pie technique....

I don’t drink coffee, so I’ve become quite the avid hot chocolate drinker. When everyone else is getting coffee and you’re at a coffee shop, it’s just not fun to drink water so I always order a hot chocolate. I’ve had some really good hot chocolates before and some really not great, watered down, ones. I’ll be honest, I regularly grab the hot chocolate mix packets and just make myself a mug at home but there’s just nothing like homemade hot chocolate – not even the packets....

As you probably guessed, we quickly learned that there’s no perfect property out there—not in our price range, not in our desired area, and definitely not in a crazy-competitive, real estate market. Quicker than you can say “dream on,” we downgraded items on our well-intentioned wish list from must-haves (like marble countertops and finished basements) to let’s-try-our-best (like intact window panes and plumbing from this half-century). But when confronted with the reality of, well…reality, there was one real estate pipe dream I refused to give up on: buying an old house....

Luckily, there are more than a few flight booking sites, apps, and tools that make it so much easier to find good prices on travel. Mostly, these sites leave me feeling much more confident in my purchase; I can rest (and, soon, fly) easy knowing I did everything I could to save money on my flight. Most of these flight booking sites have actual websites, but downloading the apps can get you the best versions....

But now that we’ve “sprung-forward” and had a couple of 50-plus degree days under our belts, I feel a little guilty. Did I even get to cook all my go-to cold-weather recipes and favorite comfort foods? If you’re feeling a similar level of FOMO, fear not—you still have a small chunk of time for gooey cheese pasta and spicy chili. I’d just recommend preheating the oven immediately.
