Whether making a vegetarian chili recipe or one that’s loaded with hearty beef chuck, chili can be done in a fraction of the time it takes by traditional means. Simple Ingredients Our hearty beefy chili will use some simple ingredients: boneless beef chuck (chuck pot roast is fine), 1 onion, 1 bell pepper, 1 jalapeño pepper, chili powder, cumin, oregano, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, chicken broth, 2 cans of diced tomatoes with green chiles, a can of black beans, salt and pepper....

There is a ton of great flavor in this marinade, but the pineapple juice really stands out as the star. The tequila is in there too, and it adds an element of flavor to the chicken as well. Don’t worry about it being overwhelmed with tequila flavor- it’s not. And the cooking process kind of cooks out the alcohol anyways. This pineapple tequila marinade is very much sweet and spicy....

The only differences are 1.) they’re in bar form and 2.) they’re 10 times easier and quicker to make. Don’t get me wrong, I love some good-old chocolate chip cookies. The only drawback is that you have to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before you can bake them. With Congo squares, though, there’s no need to wait! The dough will be confined in a baking pan, so you won’t have to worry about it overspreading....

Preparation All winter and spring, we wait patiently for the halcyon days of summer so we can fill our totes with peak-season produce like zucchini, tomatoes, corn, and fresh beans. With quick-cooking ingredients like these at the ready, it’s time to put that slow-cooker mentality in storage along with the rest of the cold-weather survival supplies. Summertime cooking offers a more relaxed approach to meal planning, one that can be created at the last minute or that same afternoon....

Making glazed carrots on the stove is something I started doing several years ago for lavish special event dinners like Christmas when the (one and only) oven is otherwise occupied with more important things. Like the main event – turkey or ham. Stuffing. Homemade bread. Carrots are not a priority. Sorry! 😉 So this is how I make carrots that look and taste roasted but are made on the stove....

Preparation Do you dream about the tender, smoky baby back or spare ribs at your favorite barbecue joint and wish you could make them at home? Replicating the technique of a professional pitmaster who tends their specialized smoker through the wee hours can be a far bigger commitment of time and equipment than any regular home cook would want to tackle simply for the sake of making dinner. But you can still achieve truly tasty results by baking ribs in your oven—without investing in any equipment or getting up before sunrise to stoke the fire!...

Preparation Whatever your routine, keeping your skin clear always calls for this essential step: washing your face before the day’s end. After cleansing your face, it’s time to pat everything dry with a fresh, clean face towel, one free from pore-clogging bacteria. But exactly how many times can you get away with using the same cloth—sans breakouts—before it’s time to toss it into the washing machine? Find out thanks to our laundry experts’ insight, ahead....

Preparation Over the course of our lives, our sleep patterns naturally ebb and flow—and getting enough rest on a nightly basis is key, however old we are. If you are approaching or in middle age, however, it could be especially important to catch Zs consistently each and every evening. Researchers out of the University of Helsinki found that those who didn’t get rest around the age of 45 had decreases in cognitive function by the time they reached 65....

Preparation Women’s History Month, which takes place in March each and every year, acknowledges and celebrates the contributions women have made and continue to make to society. There’s no time like the present to honor landmark moments throughout history and the modern day, including in the arts space. Here, we share four events created by female artists to attend and enjoy during Women’s History Month in 2022. From March 3 to 13, the Boston Ballet, pictured above, is premiering five new pieces created by women in a show titled ChoreograpHER....

Preparation Also known as lucky plants and money trees, jade plants are popular indoor succulents known for their thick steams and small, fleshy leaves. “Jade plants are unique because unlike a lot of succulents, they can hold large amounts of water in both their leaves and their stems, not one or the other,” says Lisa Eldred Steinkopf of The Houseplant Guru. “They can also grow flowers in the late fall or early winter when provided enough light....

Preparation Cleaning out your overflowing scrap pile of small leftovers from sewing projects, ripped denim, and stained T-shirts doesn’t have to mean filling a trash bag: Even delicate fabrics, awkwardly-shaped pieces, and your former favorite jeans can serve as a base for something new. Upcycling your scraps keeps them out of the waste stream—the EPA reported that in 2018, 11.3 million tons of textiles ended up in landfills—while allowing you create entirely custom projects, from oversized aprons to tiny infant toys....

During a recent podcast interview with iHeart Radio, our founder revealed that she was just as enthralled by the show as we were. “I watched the entire series. I binge-watched it!” she told the host....

Preparation We all have those moments when we forget something seemingly obvious, like where we put our car keys or reading glasses, or about those dinner plans we made with a friend a few nights prior. When those forgetful instances increase, though, we begin to question whether or not something might be wrong in terms of our brain or memory. The good news is that, for most of us, these slips of the mind are normal—even if we feel them happening more frequently as we age....
