There is no such thing as a bad chocolate chip cookie. Whether thin and crispy, soft and chewy or cake-like and fluffy, it tastes terrific no matter what. These cookies are something else, though. They’re soft, chunky, buttery, chewy, and crispy around the edges. They have all the best qualities chocolate chip cookies have to offer! When it comes to chocolate, Ghirardelli is the best of the best. Anyway, I’m pretty sure your mouth is already watering, so let’s get started!...

That’s why I prefer to bake my chicken wings to make them oh-so-crispy and finger-licking good! You can make big batches all at once, and there’s way less clean up to take care of and more time to enjoy your wing feast. A win-win! Plus, baked wings have fewer calories, so that’s yet another bonus. It can take a lot of trial and error to get your baked wings perfect, especially with different recipes....

The harmony of crisp and tender, sweet and salty, and hot and cold makes for a phenomenal dessert that’s to die for. Ohana Bread Pudding ‘Ohana – in Hawaiian, it means welcome, but over at Walt Disney World, it’s a fantastic family-style restaurant that serves the best skewered meats and bread pudding. If you’ve ever been to Disney World’s Polynesian Resort, you’ve probably had at least a bite of this heavenly dessert....

In most cases, anything you can make with oranges, you can also make with blood oranges. And we all know how juicy and flavorful oranges are! Blood oranges are equally juicy and flavorful, only their juice is bright, “blood” red. Their flavor is also tarter and tangier than that of traditional oranges with an almost berry-like taste. These vibrantly red oranges are also full of health benefits and things that are good for you, like vitamin C, antioxidants, potassium, and vitamin A....

Nectarines and navel oranges were easy enough to think of, but beyond that, it got tough! The resulting list ended up being 10 fruits long, and I even had to include nuts to get a full 10. (Hey! I didn’t cheat! Many nuts are fruits, despite what people think.) Check out this list of ‘N’ fruits, and see which ones I missed that you can think to add. 1. Nopales Nopales are one of those weird foods that fall into both the vegetable and fruit categories....

While not as popular in the U.S. or the U.K. as some other Asian cuisines – Chinese, Japanese, or Indian, for example – Armenian food, and Armenian desserts, in particular, are delicious. These desserts are traditionally sweeter and look and taste more like something you’d find in American bakeries than Chinese or Japanese desserts do. The recipes often include fruits, nuts, and spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or cloves, and many of the most popular desserts have influences from Russian or Turkish cuisine....

As tasty as Hennessy is on its own – whether neat or on the rocks – using it to make cocktails is tons more fun. Hennessy is a brand of Cognac, which is a high-end French spirit made of grape-based brandy. It originated in the Cognac region of France, hence the name. Its complex and aromatic flavors make it an incredible addition to tipples. In fact, it is an essential ingredient in many a classic cocktail, such as the age-old sidecar and French 75....

Whether you’re in the mood for a fruity margarita, a pineapple upside-down cake, or some super sweet cupcakes, maraschino cherries can play an integral role in those recipes. While most of the recipes using maraschino cherries on this list are desserts, you’ll also find a few cocktails and even one savory recipe for pineapple and cherry ham. These syrupy sweet cherries may not be as versatile as some of the other ingredients we use every day, but they’re every bit as delicious....

The Polish are famous for their Christmas spread. Or more appropriately, their Christmas Eve cuisine. Every year on December 24th, the Polish celebrate Wigilia — derived from the Latin vigil. During Wigilia, 12 traditional meatless dishes are served after the first star appears in the sky. If you’re wondering why such a specific number, it’s a representation of the 12 apostles. And it’s a tasty representation if I do say so myself!...

Whether you’re hosting a big party or an intimate gathering, you should obviously give importance to your main course. But you also don’t want to take side dishes for granted.

Whether you are serving, schnitzel, Schweinshaxe, smoked chops, or sausages, the key is to pick sides that offer the right flavor and texture combinations....

After all, being able to make Mexican meals in a fraction of the time is worth its weight in gold. I was hesitant to get another kitchen gadget, but once you use an Instant Pot, you’ll never go back! The fact that you can cook a hands-off meal like a Crockpot is great. But it will also sauté without needing another pot to clean, not to mention the steaming, rice setting and pressure cooking to boot!...

There’s something so satisfying about a simple sandwich for lunch or dinner. It’s one of those meals that doesn’t take a ton of time to make but tastes terrific and filling, nonetheless. After all, no one ever said you had to construct your sandwich with two pieces of white sandwich bread. Whether you enjoy wheat bread, ciabatta rolls, or something else entirely, that’s just fine! Here, I’ve rounded up sandwich recipes that use croissants, but you can, of course, choose another bread if you prefer....

Technically, there are differences between sweet potatoes, yams, and some of the other similar root veggies categorized as yams, but the terms are used interchangeably in most cases. So whether you have extra sweet potatoes lying around the house or a big basket of yams in the corner, you can use these yam recipes to help get rid of them. Also, don’t feel like you have to wait until fall or winter to use these....

They’re dairy-free, wonderfully moist, and pretty nutritious too. Of course, some muffin recipes are more like unfrosted cupcakes, full of sugar, dairy, and all kinds of unhealthy extras. But these vegan muffins almost all fall on the “healthy” side of the spectrum. And just because they’re “healthy” doesn’t mean they aren’t incredible. Vegan or not, these babies are sure to satisfy! Plus, they’ll keep you full all the way until lunch....

When it comes to cooking sausages, at least. I am not exaggerating when I say it really is the best cooking method. With the air fryer, you’ll get perfectly-cooked sausages in no time, every single time....

It’s bright, refreshing, and flavorful. Clam dip is a great recipe to bring to a sports party or a summer potluck. It will be the first dish to be finished, I guarantee it! I love to bring it to a beach picnic. Something about seafood just makes me long for the ocean, so why not bring these two together? I often eat my clam dip combined with some fried chicken and my favorite adult beverage!...
