Plus, it only requires three ingredients (and two optional, but highly recommended, ones). These bars have a double dose of marshmallows, thanks to the Lucky Charms, and are an amazingly tasty upgrade to the classic marshmallow and cereal bar.

When it comes down to it, there may be no better storage solution in the world than a pegboard. Woodworkers and car folks love ’em for a garage, but we think they work even better in the kitchen. Don’t take our word for it, though; none other than the great Julia Child swore by a pegboard for hanging everything from copper pans to whisks (see hers here).

As you’ll see from us in the days to come, there’s no setup a pegboard can’t handle. A pegboard as a spice rack? Easy! A pegboard as a coffee station? Adorable! The possibilities are endless.

But before you set up your organizing strategy, you have to hang the basic pegboard, and that’s what we’ll show you how to do today.

One of the most crucial parts of my weekly meal plan is my meal prep routine every Sunday. Spending a few hours in the kitchen is the assurance that I’ve got hard-boiled eggs for breakfast, grains for salad, and, best of all, that getting dinner on the table will be a lot easier in the week ahead. I shared my love for the Instant Pot a couple years ago, and now it’s time to do it again — because it has single-handedly improved the way I meal prep.

I don’t know where you live, but today in New York we’re preparing for a snow storm, with about a foot of snow expected tomorrow. Fun! So, of course, now seems like the perfect time to start dreaming of summer and all the wonderful activities and foods that will happen in the warm sun.

So let’s talk grilling. Whether you have your own grill or use something at your local park, grilling doesn’t need to be complicated if you have the right tools. If you want to also dream of summer and plan (far, far) ahead with a new grill set, you’re in luck. Today Amazon is hosting a Lightning Deal on a 16-piece barbecue set for $25, which normally costs $87. That means it’s 71 percent off, in case you’re wondering.

There are few pairings quite as complementary as chocolate and mint, making it the basis for famous drinks, shakes, and, perhaps most gloriously, this delectable and delightfully retro grasshopper pie.

What makes a grasshopper a grasshopper? Mint and chocolate liqueurs are folded into an airy, creamy mousse filling and set in a chocolate cookie crust. The whole thing is topped with more whipped cream and chocolate sauce and then chilled before it’s served as a playful dessert that tastes — and smells! — just as good as it looks.
