Like me, I’m sure many people have fond memories of making sugar cookies with family during the holiday season. The soft, warm cookies would come out of the oven fresh and you’d have to wait in agony while they cooled off on the stove. Now Target, a store that is already packed full of irresistible treasures, is making sugar cookie nostalgia in milk form. It’s only $2.49 for a quart and it’s available right now.

For a certain generation of food-TV lovers (erm, mine), Ina and Jeffrey Garten’s relationship has been, in internet parlance, marriage goals. He’s always around to run a helpful errand, inquire about secret ingredients, and raise a glass of wine in toast to Ina at the table. And Ina tells People this isn’t just for the camera.

Even after 50 years of marriage (as of December), her own rise to fame and his success in his own right, the two are just as smitten — and get along just as well — as in the honeymoon period. And People has the tips for just how they’ve kept that up for half a century.

Children of the ’90s will immediately recognize this hilarious after-school snack: Apple slices and mini marshmallows are held together with nut butter to make a vampire-inspired grin that walks the line of treat and snack.

I personally remember fumbling through making these when I was a latch-key kid, but now that I’m making them for my own little monsters I’ve discovered the super-simple secret that makes this snack even easier.

Slow cookers are often associated with hearty dinners — like hunks of protein that break down over many hours, or layered stews that slow-simmer all day. But the staple appliance is also pretty excellent when it comes to two (slightly unexpected!) things: cakes and desserts.

The low, even heat of a Crock-Pot lends itself perfectly to several dessert-friendly techniques. It can be used as a water bath or mini oven, perfect for things like silky cheesecakes or cinnamon rolls. It can also poach or braise fruit for compotes, ideal for scooping over crumbles or ice cream.

For all recipes below, the batter or dough (or, in some cases, leftover bread) goes directly into the slow cooker. A few hours later, you’ll de-lid and dig in.

You may know Geoffrey Zakarian as a host of Food Network’s The Kitchen (yes, the one with an “e”). Or as the most dapper judge on Chopped. Or as the chef and owner of multiple restaurants across the country. Or as a cookbook author. Or as a passionate rosé enthusiast (see below).

Here are his top three picks when it comes to home cooks’ must-have essentials.

Everybody loves Ina — that’s not news at all, but it’s always exciting to learn that celebrities (they’re just like us!) are as obsessed with the high-goddess Barefoot Contessa as we are. This week on Bon Appétit, Jennifer Garner, Ms. Alias herself, wrote what amounts to a love letter to Ina, her recipes, and specifically her boeuf bourguignon.
