Use the Last Bit of Leftover Cranberry Sauce to Make These Jam Bars

The mashed potatoes and candied yams may have gone, but the cranberry sauce remains. (Youll suddenly wish you had more left over.) Feel free to substitute the almond extract for vanilla if youd like. Add the dry ingredients Mix the flour, oats, and baking powder together in a small bowl. Dump them into the wet ingredients all at once, and stir until just combined. The dough will be thick like cookie dough, because that’s essentially what it is....

Your Meat and Cheese Board Needs a Glow-up

I would have resisted a new style of meat and cheese board in the past. But after a year of taste tests, Im finally ready. Its time to reconsider the ways of the old meat and cheese board. Once again, I love all the flavors so I recommend buying one of each. This results in a snack so completely crunchy, its hard to believe it was once a squishy mushroom....

Here Are the Differences Between QLED and OLED (and Why They Matter)

Heres everything you better know. What does QLED stand for, and how does it work? To start, lets take a look at QLED. According to Samsung, QLED stands for quantum dot LED TV.

Essentially, quantum dots are microscopic molecules that emit their own differently colored light when another light hits them....

I Investigate Yet Another Internet Egg-peeling Hack

The art of peeling a boiled egg is one that people seem to take quite personally. Mine is steaming a hard-boiled egg and dropping it in cold water. It peels like a dream every time. I grabbed a few pots to find out. Then add the eggs and boil them how you normally would. It seems plausible, so I set up three pots of water. Each pot had water in it and was set to boil....

For medium heat, I use pad prik king paste. To make myself sweat Ill use green curry paste. Use any of these according to your preference, and then control the heat further. Use just a teaspoon or so of paste and mix it with two tablespoons of mayonnaise....

Make This Risotto With Your Thanksgiving Leftovers

As a vehicle for leftover turkey, risotto makes a strong argument. Arborio can take on an enormous amount of liquid, and it is a short grain variety. Normally, you give it a little push with butter at the beginning and Parmesan cheese at the end. Anything without much of a sauce is game: grilled mushrooms, baked asparagus, roasted squash. If theres any left at this point, you’re free to even toss in a little gravy....
