From meatballs to herring salad, these authentic meals are a welcome addition to your routine. Much like other Scandinavian countries, many Danish dishes are made with just a few ingredients. They’re made with simple meats and vegetables, and the desserts aren’t too sweet. You won’t find too many processed ingredients, and like the Swedes and Norwegians, the Danes have a deep love of herring and pickles! I hope that trying any of these 20 delightful recipes will inspire you to look for new dishes to bring into your regular weekly rotation....

So if you’re the kind of person who’d rather have a chocolate bar than a bag of chips as an afternoon snack, you’re gonna want to bookmark this list! No matter how much I love fries, nachos, and all things salty, I just can’t say no to a hit of something sweet. That’s why this list of sweet snacks is so long – sugar practically runs in my veins. These treats may not be dentist-approved, but come on, live a little!...

Preparation With the development of interstate highways in the mid-20th century, a new American pastime was born: motoring. From the 1930s to the ’60s, families everywhere piled into their Studebakers and set off for sights unseen as the roads laced the nation into a web of newly accessible vacation destinations. (Let Europe keep Rome; we had Palm Springs.) The craze for road-tripping may have faded, but the era lives on through its souvenirs....

Preparation Summer is prime time for entertaining—impromptu pool parties, backyard cookouts, holiday celebrations, and more give people a handful of reasons to gather during the warm weather season. “However, with all the happy chaos, little accidents are bound to occur,” explains Kristine Cooke, event planner and owner of Simply Charming Socials. Kids trip and fall during games, sparklers put you and your guests at risk for burns, and there’s usually a handful of spills and stains to clean up throughout the day....

Instant Asian Sesame Dressing This Asian Sesame Dressing is one of eight ready-to-use salad dressing recipes that I shared in this post: Ready To Use Salad Dressings.

BONUS: this all happens in one pan, it’s 100% perfect for make ahead and freezing, and makes its own barbecue sauce (and it might be the best you ever have in your life!). Slow cooked BBQ Beef Ribs Beef ribs are the king of all beef cuts for slow cooking (pretty sure I said that in my Beef Short Ribs in Red Wine Sauce too). They are juicier than brisket and chuck (there’s always a few lean-ish patches, that’s just the way that cut is)....

Preparation There’s a lot to love about a fire pit. They give off warmth, create a cozy ambience, and can even be used to toast marshmallows or grill entire meals—assuming you have the right model, that is. If you’re in the market for a fire pit and interested in something dual purpose (aesthetic and functional), an actual cooking surface is a must. “A pit that’s designed with outdoor cooking in mind will come with adjustable fire grates, or even a griddle-style cooking surface,” Matthew Eads, cookbook author, gourmet griller, and founder of the blog Grillseeker, says....

I’m 30-something years old and I still have sleepovers with my girlfriends. Is that abnormal? I’m not even talking about weekends away. I’m talking about actual sleepovers – bring your pillow and PJ’s, lots of wine, rag mags (gossip magazines) and in this particular case, one of my friends brought hair dye with her so we could do her roots for her. (It was supposed to be blonde. It came out orange....

Preparation Queen Elizabeth is the longest serving British monarch in history; in fact, she recently celebrated 70 years on the throne in June during the United Kingdom’s first Platinum Jubilee. While it’s safe to say Her Majesty has a long and storied history of fulfilling her duties as Queen of England, her job description just got an update. According to a report by The Telegraph, it’s the first time the monarch’s responsibilities have changed in more than a decade....

I love cooking an egg in toast, what I usually call Toad in a Hole, although it has different names depending on region. You know what already has a hole it in though? A bagel. So let’s do that instead of bread! There’s only a few tricks you need to know to get this to work. First, most bagels don’t have holes big enough to fit a full egg so while it’s a start, I recommend using a knife to make each whole slightly bigger....

Great Roasted Carrots I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – the simplest way to add instant flavour to any vegetable is to roast it. The oven completely transforms bland vegetables, intensifying the natural flavour, caramelising sugar you didn’t even know was in it, and giving it colour by browning the outsides. And we all know colour = flavour! And carrots are a wonderful example of roasting magic in action....

Preparation When we talk about fine lines and wrinkles, furrowing 11 lines, crow’s feet, and deep forehead creases come to mind. And while these are certainly some of the most prevalent signs of aging, nasolabial lines—or smile lines—are right up there on that list. Like any other wrinkle type, deep indents around the mouth are caused by daily expressions that, over time, become permanently etched into the skin. The good news?...

Preparation Vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acid supplements are known to contribute to bone strength and heart health—but that’s not all. Research presented at the American College of Rheumatology’s ACR Convergence 2021 found that people who ingested these nutrients over the course of five years actually lowered their chances of developing autoimmune disease by 25 to 30 percent, Eating Well reports. To conduct this study, researchers followed 25,871 adults who were put on four different regimens for nearly five-and-a-half years: The first group took both an omega-3 and vitamin D placebo, and the second took 1,000 milligrams of omega-3 fatty acids and 2,000 international units of vitamin D....

Preparation It’s safe to say that mix-and-match bridesmaids’ dresses are far more than an enduring trend. For many brides-to-be, this route allows them to put their attendants first: So long as they work within a certain color palette or pattern, ‘maids are able to choose gowns they love and, most importantly, feel confident wearing. That’s why we’re particularly excited about the just-launched limited edition collection from Free People and BHLDN, which was ideated around a “mix, not match” mentality, says Lori Conley, the General Merchandise Manager at BHLDN....
