With a history going back to the Middle Ages, and traditionally served as an accompaniment to fowl of all kinds — chicken, turkey, and game birds — bread sauce is to a British Christmas dinner what a green bean casserole is to an American Thanksgiving.
Le Creuset has been showing some serious love for Disney lately. In February, the French cookware brand teamed up with Williams Sonoma to release a brilliant blue soup pot to celebrate the live-action debut of Beauty and the Beast. Then, just seven months later, Le Creuset came out with yet another limited-edition Dutch oven — this time in yellow and also for Beauty and the Beast.
Maybe you missed out? Or maybe you’re just not a fan of Belle? Then you’re in luck! Because on Friday, November 17, Le Creuset is releasing another Disney collaboration — and this time, it’s highlighting a different iconic story. Here’s a hint: It might make you Happy or Grumpy. Or, um, Sneezy?
The world is still coming down from the combined sugar rush of Halloween and Starbucks’ viral Zombie Frappuccino, but the coffee giant is ready to get the holiday season started. Starbucks just released two new holiday drinks — the Toasted White Chocolate Mocha and Chestnut Praline Chai Latte — and they both sound very exciting.

Hot buttered movie theater popcorn is one of life’s deepest pleasures. It’s pure, greasy nostalgia. When my parents took my sister and I to the movies when we were children, they never, ever let us buy snacks at the theater. Now that I’m an adult, I hit the concession stand every single time, even though I’m well aware of the financial irresponsibility of overindulging in movie theater snacks.

But Tara O’Brady, the award-winning cookbook author, food writer, and proprietor of the popular blog Seven Spoons, explains that’s not the way people tend to use the phrase “ethnic food,” and she says it’s time to retire it.
