This recipe begins with a simple apple cake. It’s spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg. And there are pecans mixed in (if you want them). Everyone is into apple desserts in the fall.

Apple cake just seems like a good option to bake!...

Preparation Composting our kitchen scraps saves loads from landfills and turns our food waste into black gold. Ask anyone who gardens and they’ll tell you how much they love compost. If you’re ready to get started on your journey to reduce food waste, a handy container in the kitchen is an essential tool in the composting process. Before you head off to your local compost-collection point, empty your scraps into a bin that is collected weekly by your city, or even walk to the bottom of your yard to add to your composter or pile, you’ll need a smaller receptacle—that’s ideally within reach as you work in the kitchen—to help you stay on track....
Preparation When it comes to interior design, we focus the bulk of our attention on dwelling spaces, like the living room or even the kitchen, but the mudroom is an area that shouldn’t be overlooked. “This small space can be the key to keeping the messiness from the outside world out of your home,” Jade McNeil, the owner and principal of Jade McNeil Interiors, says. You store dirty shoes, wet umbrellas, and outerwear in this space, but McNeil says that there are even more ways to utilize this room....

This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! Chicken Fricassée Pronounced “fri-ka-say”, this is a terrific recipe to get a cosy stew fix any night of the week without hours of slow cooking.

If you think blueberry muffins are great, you’ll think these are to-die-for. The tops are nice and crisp, and everything else is just moist and tender. The muffins themselves are sweet and citrus-flavored, which is contrasted by the tart cranberries. Together, they’re a match made in heaven. They’re excellent for breakfast or brunch, but if you drizzle them with glaze on top, they make fantastic desserts, too! Best of all, these guys take under an hour to make – cooling included....

Preparation You expect that the months spent planning your wedding will be time filled with excitement, joy, and anticipation; while that’s the case for many couples, even the happiest of pairs will tell you that it’s also a time when stress—related to everything from family to money—sets in. In fact, the Holmes-Rahe Stress Inventory ranks getting married as one of the top ten stress factors in an adult’s life. While spending time in nature, getting a massage, or practicing deep breathing and yoga are some known tactics for stress relief, talking to your friends can also be hugely beneficial....

The Society surveyed more than 6,000 people and found that those who garden every day have a 6....

Japanese Salmon recipe This is an authentic, simple Japanese marinade that can be used for any fish but is especially great with salmon. In this recipe I’ve cooked this by pan frying but it is really great broiled/grilled too. With pan frying you get a really crispy skin (which I love) and the wonderful caramelisation, and with broiling/grilling, the exterior is less caramelised making it softer and a bit juicier which is also delicious....

Preparation Thanksgiving is, traditionally, a time for giving and gathering. We indulge in each other’s company, good conversation and games, and a hearty, home-cooked feast. Of course, this year’s holiday has us thinking differently while current state-by-state traveling restrictions may mandate against us reuniting ‘round the table with far flung friends and family. Even if your holiday plans this year are reserved to hosting the members of your own household, it’s all the more worth it to make things special....
Preparation Drawing is an easy and creative way to decompress at the end of a long day, and unlike some arts and crafts activities that require an assortment of supplies, all you really need to start drawing is a reliable writing utensil and a piece of paper. “You can start with a pen or pencil on paper and experiment from there,” says Brooklyn-based artist Carly Wilhelm. “The most important tool is your imagination....
