I know, I know, we just talked about gingerbread two weeks ago, in a biscotti, hot chocolate-dipping format. It’s too soon! I completely agree with you. But this was a request; a commenter asked if there was a way to transplant the intensity of everyone’s favorite gingerbread cake into a waffle format. Asking me this is like asking a Muppet if they like to count. I live for this; I thought you’d never ask.
True enough, the so-called gingerbread waffles I browsed on the web seemed to be in name only; pale beige specimens, softly spiced, more gingersnap than gingerthud. Proper gingerbread should make an entrance, with no restraint in the ginger or molasses department. It should be dark and a little sticky. It should either be adored or reviled; there’s rarely any middle ground. Lucky for me, my family, both young and old, cannot get enough.

I’m not usually one for cooking shortcuts that involve prepared ingredients, but there are some recipes that just have too many involved parts. Making doughnuts has always been one of those recipes. You have to make and shape the dough, and you might have to let it rise — all before you deep fry!
Then I stumbled upon the easiest doughnut recipe ever and just had to try it. Can you believe it involves just two ingredients? Read on to find out what they are!

“A mix of black beans, black-eyed peas, and garbanzo beans, corn, onion, garlic, parsley, and basil tossed with a red wine and olive oil vinaigrette dressing makes a fabulous dip or side dish. Kidney beans and navy beans can also be used.”

Cream of mushroom soup has been a favorite of mine as long as I can remember. Of course when we were growing up it was Campbell’s and it came in a can. But even as an 8 year old I took great pride in heating my own soup, and discovered for myself how much better it was if you added milk instead of water, and how important it was to slowly add the milk while stirring so it wouldn’t form clumps.
This year, The Kitchn editors are sharing a few of our personal gift picks … but there’s a twist. We each picked two gifts: One is our totally over-the-top “naughty” pick, that dream gift that’s beyond the scope of most gifting allowances, while the other is a cause or nonprofit in our area we think is well-worth donating to — in other words, a “nice” way to give back this holiday season.
Check them all out below — and then tell us your own naughty-and-nice picks for this year!
