What constitutes a casserole? Is it the dish itself, or what it contains? Is it both?

Dictionary.com defines a casserole as two things: a baking dish of glass or pottery, usually with a cover, and also any food (usually a mixture) cooked in such a dish. For all intents and purposes, defining this around-the-world staple is a bit like asking Which came first: the chicken or the egg?

My house is more than 250 years old. My sink is definitely not as old, but it almost looked like it. When my husband and I bought the place, it came with a white kitchen sink. At least it was supposed to be white, but it was mostly yellow — all around the bottom of the sink.

Lo mein is a popular Chinese-American dish for good reason — it’s got savory noodles, crisp veggies, and your choice of protein all packed into one takeout-friendly dish. But with the help of a sauce that also doubles as a marinade for chicken, you can make and dig into a big pile of noodle stir-fry in less than 30 minutes. That’s quicker than it takes for delivery to arrive!

Whenever websites have anniversary sales with deep discounts, I often get sensory overload and add a variety of colorful things I don’t need (e.g., blush-colored high balls, holiday-themed potholders) to my cart. As fun as those can be, however, at the end of the day the best investment is function and simplicity. So I was excited to see that Sur La Table has included many items from Duralex in their anniversary sale (check it out — some items are up to 70 percent off).

Duralex makes simple but very durable glassware and bakeware, and I’m a huge fan of these two items in particular. So many kitchen items are made with form over function in mind, but fortunately Duralex hasn’t made this sacrifice.

Truthfully, it’s hard to be sad about the end of summer right now. I mean, when there are things like apple picking just ahead of us — and along with it, homemade applesauce (a fall essential) — I can’t be anything but thrilled.

If you’re new to making homemade applesauce, know that you only need a few ingredients, and turning them into a sauce is much easier than you might think — especially when you bring in the slow cooker to do most of the work for you.

Meal planning is my mom superpower, but meal prep has never been my thing. As a mom of two, I find most of my weekend time gets gobbled up by soccer games, laundry, and epic LEGO tower building.

But having a fridge stocked with at least a few prepped meals makes me a more peaceful, kinder mom come Monday morning. In an effort to make the most of any free weekend time I do have, I focus on breakfast and lunch, which tend to muck up my mornings most. This Power Hour will give you a week of grab-and-go breakfasts, mix-and-match lunches, and a low-prep dinner meal plan. Consider it an entry-level plan for a family of four.

Instant potato flakes aren’t exactly high on most lists of pantry essentials. You may keep them around in chilly months as a quick and easy shortcut to creamy mashed potatoes, but they’re probably more likely collecting dust on supermarket shelves.

What you might not know, though, is that these little flakes — made most often from either russet potatoes or Yukon Golds that have been cooked, mashed, and dehydrated — can work their magic in a surprising amount of dishes. Similar to potato starch, they can act as a thickener for gravies and soups. But they can also make chicken crispier, focaccia fluffier, and meatloaf more moist. Read on for our favorite ways to use them.
