Who remembers eating a handful (pun intended) of popcorn out of a plastic glove, spookily detached from its ostensible mummy body, and racing to get to the bottom where the treat — a single candy corn in the tip of the finger — awaited?

Raises hand!

When it comes to kale salad, there are two camps of people: those who roll their eyes and wonder how we aren’t past this yet, and those whose love and adoration for this hearty green salad base haven’t skipped a beat. I fall firmly into the latter group, and that is wholly because I’ve learned what it takes to toss together a really good kale salad that you want to keep making again and again. Here are 10 recipes to get you started.

Restaurants and commercial kitchens get ratings for how sanitary their cooking spaces are, but homeowners? Not so much. “A lot of people make mistakes at home and don’t even know it,” says Rob Acquista, a public health inspector in Columbus, Ohio (who inspected our Editor-in-Cheif’s kitchen a few years ago). That’s probably because the people who run kitchens and grocery stores have to go through training courses to make sure they understand the FDA codes for how to limit cross-contamination and keep critters out of their food preparation areas, but we regular homeowners just do whatever we’re used to doing.

As you can imagine, Acquista sees mistakes everywhere he goes — something that he admits could make him an unpopular dinner guest. “I don’t say anything with my friends, but when I’m with my family, I’ll give them reminders — hey, I don’t want to get sick!” says Acquista. So we grilled him on the biggest issues he sees in home kitchens.

Here are the 10 scariest places in every kitchen — and what you can do to fix them.

You’ve likely stopped in the pasta sauce aisle a million times to grab a jar of marinara, but I’m guessing you skipped over the Alfredo sauce section. Well, I’m here to tell you to go back and grab a jar. It’s the secret to this creamy Italian chicken flecked with sweet sun-dried tomatoes and wilted spinach, which comes together easily in the slow cooker and begs to be served over pasta.

This is just the kind of homey dinner that we all need a little more of as the days get shorter and colder.

Kitchn’s Delicious Links column highlights recipes we’re excited about from the bloggers we love. Follow along every weekday as we post our favorites.

Sometimes it feels like there is no such thing as an ordinary number of pots. Every meal seems to either require one pot, or every single pot, pan, and muffin tin in your house, and halfway through you’ll find out it requires some pan or utensil you don’t own.

On the weekends I love a finicky recipe that requires a cook to have a million ingredients and six burners going at once, but during the week there are only a handful of hours between work and bedtime, and I prefer to use as few pans as possible when cooking, because it keeps the clean-up to a minimum, and I really hate cleaning.

There’s something so incredibly satisfying about your dinner guests fawning over your “super fancy” plates when, deep down, you know you only paid 50 cents each. (Whether or not you come clean and tell the truth/brag about it is totally your call!)

With the holidays coming up — and lots of sales currently going on — we decided to round up some of the best deals we’ve seen online. These serving pieces are all ridiculously good looking and on sale for way less than they have any right to be.

Halloween is here — and secretly, I think it’s the most amazing time for food-lovers and their kids. Why? You get to play with your food!

Our collective digital feeds are filled at present with cute spider sandwiches and bat-wing cookies, but this is not a modern phenomenon. For nearly a century, there has been pressure on parents to rise to the occasion of Halloween. Women’s magazines shaped modern Halloween treats long before Pinterest and Instagram, helping parents make Halloween treats that satisfied children’s desires to be grossed-out, tickled-silly, and, most of all, delighted with this darkly magical holiday.

We took a look back at nearly 100 years of iconic Halloween treats and chose the top 10. If you’re ready to finally try to make one (or all!) yourself, you can’t go wrong with any of these picks. They’re all classic, they’re all easy, and they’re our favorite Halloween treats of all time. Get ready.

Costco is pretty much king of kings when it comes to bulk items. There’s unnaturally large tubs of cream cheese, mammoth teddy bears, and pallets of salmon as big as your bed. Costco is also a great place to score your supermarket staples, from butter to batteries. With so much fantastic stuff coming out of the bulk-item juggernaut, there’s hardly been any reason to complain about them.

Well, that is, unless you buy the milk there.
