Aren’t there any downsides? In this article I explain how the body reacts to sugar and to sweeteners from diet soda. Then I investigate whether diet soda indeed makes losing weight easier, by looking at how it influences hunger and eating behavior.

How To Make a Rich and Flavorful Chicken Broth for Homemade Ramen

Chicken broth can be made from almost any chicken parts and vegetables. A few chicken breasts poached in water makes a light chicken broth; the leftover bones from a roast chicken simmered for hours makes a basic broth that’s probably familiar to most cooks. But if a rich, meaty chicken broth full of flavor and body is your objective, you need chicken wings.

I’m lucky enough to have a young daughter who digs Star Wars as much as she loves Sleeping Beauty, and who will eat broccoli but also loves ice cream. One of our family rituals is a monthly mom-and-daughter date night in and I never miss an opportunity to pair our favorite snacks with our favorite fictional characters. Disney princesses are no exception. Here are 13 of our favorite princess movies and their kid-approved snack pairings — just for fun.

Open Baking Lesson

Bundt cake pans are prized for their beauty, with cooks even collecting the decorative pans just for displaying. Their detailed designs have one major drawback, though — they are hard to grease, making them notorious for sticking. Even a generous coat of nonstick spray doesn’t guarantee success. Instead, there are two methods you can use to make the most of brilliant Bundt cakes.

Meringues may very well be my favorite sweet. As a child, I could inhale entire baking sheets filled with the egg white and sugar confections. When my grandmother made her famous (to us, at least) Heavenly Lemon Pie, I’d sneak the meringue crust with my equally naughty cousin, long before the dessert made it to the table. And even when I was older, my grandmother knew that she had to keep her chocolate chip-dotted meringues hidden (often in the laundry room, I discovered) from my thieving fingers.

So when I became a mother, I knew I had to try to make meringues for, and with, my daughter.

Caramel is one of my favorite ways to indulge, especially in fall. Although I still look forward to pumpkin and apple everything, caramel is one of the unsung heroes of fall. Cooking sugar until it melts and browns leaves you with a silky, luxurious sauce that you can mold into candy or use as an ingredient in a number of tasty creations.

From popcorn to risotto, here are 12 desserts to get you excited about caramel this weekend.

Movies are a great date night activity with your kid — yes, Frozen is fine, even the 17th time, because you have wine — but if you’re feeling a bit more ambitious, look to your pantry for help. Not only is the pantry a toolbox for feeding ourselves and our families, but it can also be a treasure trove of craft inspiration for the cool fall nights and rainy days of October.

Here are five family-friendly craft projects for fall nights that rely on staples from the kitchen. Bonus: Many of them can be turned into gifts to give for the holidays. In other words, by doing these projects, you’re basically getting a really, really early start on Christmas.
