Our very own Maxwell Ryan worked with Mrs. Meyers to show off one of the most organized pantries out there. Whether you have an entire pantry or just a kitchen cabinet, these photos highlight three secret weapons that are a total must when it comes to keeping your ingredients — and other stuff — organized.

Here’s some food (storage) for thought.

In America, there’s no place like home for the holidays. But all across Europe, the early months of winter bring locals out of their houses and into the streets to shop and stroll and taste seasonal treats at the holiday markets. In Prague, pork browns on a spit roast; in Copenhagen, Danes eat jam-filled ebelskiver doughnuts; and in Germany, they drink.

Nowhere are the libations as numerous — or as strong — as at a German Christkindlmarkt. Indeed, asking if Germany is the capital of winter drinking is like asking if cinnamon and clove are crucial to the winter months; or if bad wine is made better when it’s mulled on the stove; or if you should you add alcohol to delicious lattes you’re already drinking. The answer is clear: Ja, ja, a million times ja!

But you don’t need to travel all the way to Europe to feel extra festive this holiday season. Take a cue from the Christkindlmarkts and enjoy Germany in a mug. Here’s how.

How many push ups can you do? 20 or 30? 50? More? Maybe you’re one of the unlucky souls who can only manage five reps with questionable form. Say the word “exercise,” and the push up inevitably will be thought of as the movement of choice. For decades and possibly centuries, men have pointed to the push up as a true test of strength, not to mention machismo. How much simpler can it get than to just drop to the ground and start pumping away?

One of our holiday obsessions is a rich and bright peppermint bark, only available in December and eaten in small pieces over hot chocolate while wrapping presents or trimming the tree. If you’ve only enjoyed this stunning treat from a fancy gifted tin from a well-known cooking supply store, then you might be delighted to know how easy it is to make at home.

The ingredient list is short — just dark and white chocolate, peppermint candies, and peppermint oil — and you don’t need any special equipment to make peppermint bark for yourself or to give as gifts. It helps to know a little bit about each ingredient and to have an hour to dedicate to the process. Here’s how to make your own peppermint bark at home for gift-giving this season.

In case you missed it, we’re big fans of decorating for Christmas in the kitchen. Wreaths look totally at home hung in front of a window over the sink, and cabinet uppers are a perfect backdrop for all those holiday cards that come in. So, in the spirit of being spirited, we also love the idea of Christmas lights in the kitchen.

Cooking with younger kids isn’t much different than everyday cooking, but tiny cooks require a few tools to make their time in the kitchen easier on you as their sous-chef and better for them as they learn. Luckily most of these tools are inexpensive, easy to find, or adaptable for your tiny cook. These are five of my favorite tools for cooking with young kids.

A couple weeks ago Kitchn wrote about a website that was selling ridiculously flavored candy canes. The website provides odd flavors to choose from, including wasabi, gravy, and bacon, but the weirdest one of all might have been pickle. Now, I’m a big fan of all things pickles: I like making pickles, I like eating them plain, I like them sliced thinly on a burger, and I even like the juice. But pickle-flavored candy canes? I was very skeptical.

Starting a fire creates instant festive feels — that is, if you’re lucky enough to have a functional wood-burning fireplace. But those of us who can’t light up the logs (or have gas-powered flames) have to get crafty when we want that magical fire smell.

Where to turn? Fortunately a bunch of companies have started to bottle that signature campfire-like scent. So whether guests are coming over, or you just want to curl up on the couch and get your cozy on, there’s a fire-scented candle, diffuser, or spray to set a wintry mood.
