While carving pumpkins for Halloween is a fun activity, it’s a bit sad to see the hollowed-out pumpkin just sitting there and not do anything. It’s a lot tastier to stuff the pumpkin, throw it into the oven, and let it bake into something delicious while it conveniently acts as its own attractive serving dish.
From a cheesy dip to soup to crème brûlée, here are 10 tasty dishes that you can bake inside big or little pumpkins!
After all these years, one might assume that Giada De Laurentiis had given us all of her secrets to Italian cooking — through 15 years of cooking shows, almost a dozen books including a few best-sellers, and now her own lifestyle blog, Giadzy, she’s definitely given us a lot of good meals.
Millennials: do we have any shame? At this fragile point in United States history, our generation has been destroying the fabric of this country, industry by industry. One example is real estate: sales have been declining ever since millennials became adults and remained unmarried, diamond-less, and baby-free. It’s completely our fault, too: never mind all that research on predatory loans, insurance denials, and being exploited at work.
The real reason these pillars of industry are falling one by one is simple: millennials prefer to waste their money on spicy mayo, avocado toast, and, like a new article suggests, fancy cheese.

Rumors have been circulating the last couple days about a new Oreo cookie, and this time it’s not a strange new flavor (I’m looking at you, pop rocks). On Monday, Instagram account @thejunkfoodaisle shared that Oreo was creating its biggest cookie ever: the Most Stuf. The Instagram post assured fans that this cookie is an “actual product photo” and that it’s coming soon.

We take slow cooking very seriously. For proof of that (as if you needed it), here are the hundreds of recipes that we’ve lovingly developed, tested, and retested for use in your favorite small appliance.
Another thing we take very seriously: cookbooks. (Believe me when I say that fall cookbook season is a bonafide holiday around here.) For us, there’s nothing better than a cookbook that delights and inspires us to break out of a self-imposed dinnertime rut.

When I woke up this morning, an idea for a perfect on-the-go sandwich came to me in a flash. So, I took to Twitter and shared what I thought could be the Next Big Thing in breakfast: two freshly baked cookies (chocolate chip) hugging a nice, thick, breakfast-y layer of butter, completed with a slice or two of bacon.

There is one dish that appears pretty consistently on my weekly meal plan, and that is soup. Almost every week, there is a night designated for it — usually at the start of the week so that there are leftovers to dig into for lunch. There are so many reasons why it’s such a mainstay: It’s a one-pot affair, it often doesn’t need much else besides some crusty bread to call it dinner, and it’s infinitely adaptable depending on your mood.
Some weeks, it’s a soup loaded with enough veggies to get me back into a wholesome routine; other weeks it’s a heartier, cream-based or pasta-packed option. Whatever the situation, these 17 recipes are easy picks for your weeknight dinner roster.
