When it comes to cookies, we all have our preferences. Me, I’m a texture girl. I like them soft and chewy. Any soft and chewy cookie automatically has my attention. These snickerdoodles were redesigned with that in mind. I often don’t like snickerdoodles that much; they get too crisp, too crunchy. Not these — they’ll still be soft days after you’ve made them.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but everyone’s favorite vegetable is currently being recalled over E.coli concerns. According to USA Today, a California farm that was connected to the recent romaine lettuce recall is now recalling red-leaf lettuce, green-leaf lettuce, and cauliflower.

In a statement released by Adam Bros. Farms of Santa Maria, CA, the farm explained that they were issuing the recall “out of an abundance of caution” and that no illnesses have been reported thus far in connection with these vegetables. “The recall was initiated after it was discovered that sediment from a reservoir near where the produce was grown tested positive for E. coli O157:H7. Filtered and treated water from the reservoir may have come in contact with the produce after it was harvested,” the farm goes on to explain.

Better safe than sorry, right?

Every single holiday season, without fail, this happens: I get a deep craving for eggnog, resist until I can’t resist any longer, buy a carton, pour myself a small glass, and find satisfaction in just a few sips. The problem is I leave myself with the majority of the carton left over after I’ve fulfilled my craving. What the heck do I do with all the rest?

That’s when I end up scouring the internet for recipes using the remainder. Here’s the recipe I’ll now turn to. This French toast casserole not only tastes of the holidays, but it’s also a make-ahead dish that’s a welcome addition to your breakfast roaster this time of year.

Prime rib, also known as a standing rib roast, is the undisputed king when it comes to a large cut of beef. I remember going to the steakhouse with my family on prime rib night for special occasions and celebrations, savoring every bite of a slice of rosy, juicy meat with some tasty jus.

Prime rib isn’t something you can only eat at restaurants, though. It’s actually the perfect cut for a holiday dinner or large dinner party. Where does it come from, what makes it so special, and why is it so darn expensive?

It’s becoming clear that humans now more than ever prefer speediness over ambience, at least when it comes to everyday tasks such as running errands or getting breakfast. As Amazon, Shopify, and other online retailers bulldoze the competition in sheer volume of sales, traditional shops have found that they too are profiting more from sales made through the internet.

One of the more surprising additions to that list is now Starbucks, who is rolling out a new way to get your morning java, sans a chat with your local barista.

You’ve probably seen a post or two on social media at some point praising the ability of eggshells to add to calcium to soil. It’s true that eggshells are mostly made of calcium, and calcium plays a big role in determining the soil’s pH — a measure of a soil’s acidity or alkalinity — and an important factor in plants’ overall health.

If you’re a regular Costco shopper, chances are you’re not just wandering around looking for great finds. No, you have a list and you know (almost all the time), exactly where to find the items on it. But here’s the thing about this approach: You might be missing an entire section that you really should be visiting.
