I don’t know about you all, but I literally gasped out loud when I saw this scene from The Force Awakens for the first time: Seriously, nothing beats practical effects, and a team apparently spent around three months (!) getting that effect just right.

When life gives you a snow day, I suggest making cookies to share the luck and happiness. I had never heard of Nutmeg Logs before I queried everyone about their favorite holiday treats. But when several of you listed them as your fave cookies, I knew I had to learn more. One look at them
One of the best things about this time of year is the nearly constant stream of delicious goodies that turn up at work functions, or are dropped off by kindly neighbors and family. Baking at home fills the house with familiar smells of special spices, and let’s be honest: having the oven on to warm

While they might look like strange little alien foods once they’re peeled, the flavor and novelty of them makes all the effort worth it. The chestnut harvests in the past couple of years have
