The KitchenAid Classic Series stand mixer my mom had in the ’90s is still hanging around today, mixing, beating, and kneading as well as ever. My mom used it when I was in elementary school to make cakes and cookies for birthdays and school events; it survived my daily baking sessions in high school; and now, while I’m back home quarantining with my mom during this crisis, it’s back on the kitchen counter while we stress bake, whipping up my favorite-ever chocolate chip cookie recipe and flourless double-chocolate brownies....

However, the alt-meat trend shows no signs of slowing down—and to be honest, we’re thrilled, seeing as beef is one of the biggest contributors of greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to climate change....

But a migraine is technically different and so much more than just a bad headache—migraines are the result of a neurological disorder. Sure, that’s an interesting fact—but how’s that going to help you in the moment of intense head pain and discomfort? Two neurologists explain the difference between a migraine vs....

Kitchens cabinets and cupboards can easily be cluttered with kitchen tools and equipment,cookbooks, and other miscellanea. This isn’t a bad thing at all—many of these kitchen items make life so much simpler—but it can be a little frustrating when a one-trick kitchen tool takes up a lot of storage real estate while only serving a single purpose. That purpose or function may be important, but that doesn’t mean it does anything to lessen frustrations, especially when kitchen storage spots are full to bursting....
