I love the sweet-savory taste of roasted onions, but who has time to make them? (Okay, maybe I do actually have the time, but sometimes I get lazy — or, more likely, hungry and impatient.)

Fortunately, I have discovered a life-changing pantry ingredient that delivers the same umami deliciousness with a flick of the wrist: granulated toasted onion powder. Created by dry-roasting fresh onions until they reach a rich brown hue, it amps up the flavor of any dish and immediately makes it more complex — less thrown together, more I labored over this. Hear me out on this one.

Whether you or some of your guests are gluten-free, it’s important to have dishes at the table that meet this dietary need. Luckily, there’s no shortage of options. Naturally gluten-free ingredients like wild rice and cornmeal, along with favorites like potatoes and squash, are already regulars on the Thanksgiving table, so there are plenty of delicious recipes to choose from. Even standards that are usually off limits — like dinner rolls and pie crust — can be made gluten-free with a little ingenuity. Here are 15 recipes to inspire your menu.

Williams Sonoma is like FAO Schwartz for grown-ups — especially grown-ups like us, who get excited about things like Dutch ovens and artisan sea salt. So you can imagine our excitement when we got our hands on the retailer’s finalized Black Friday deals, of which there are many. The retailer is seriously offering dozens and dozens of sales — including 40 percent off KitchenAid appliances, up to 60 percent off Global knives, 50 percent off Riedel Overture gift sets, and more.

Even when everyone’s contributing, the Thanksgiving host ends up doing the bulk of the work. Between getting the entire house guest-ready, pulling the folding chairs out of storage, and getting the silverware polished and the linens pressed — not to mention the making of labor-intensive foods like turkey and pies and all the prep and cleanup that goes into it — it’s a pain in the butt. That’s why it’s especially kind to bring a little something to thank your host for having everyone over.

Usually people pick up a bottle of wine, a candle, or a small gift that perfectly suits someone. But we’ve got one idea that will trump any of those ideas (and all the other ones, too). That is, the gift of not cooking.

How to give the gift of not cooking? There are two main ways.

Researchers have developed a drug that may have “potentially life-saving properties” for children who suffer from peanut allergies.

I’ve said it before and I’ll eagerly say it again every November: Stuffing is the real star of the Thanksgiving table. (At least in my house!) Whether you’re serving turkey, ham, or something entirely different, your holiday dinner is not complete without a casserole dish piled high with stuffing, baked so it’s crispy on the outside and soft and tender through the center.

The only difficult part is deciding what kind of stuffing to serve. There are a ton of options when it comes to stuffing — from golden-brown classics with lots of fresh herbs, to more modern takes that swap in cornbread or smart supermarket shortcuts. To help you figure out what to put on the table this year, we’ve rounded up 10 of our all-time favorite stuffing recipes below.

    In the last couple years, Advent calendars have become more and more creative. We’ve seen a few boozy calendars pop up (including this awesome one from Aldi), and of course there’s the Reese’s one that sounds delicious. But this new one from Target might be the best of the bunch. The retailer recently collaborated with British blogger-turned-mogul Annem Hobson who invented the “world’s first cheese advent calendar.”

    For as long as I can remember, a simple corn side has been a staple at my family’s traditional Thanksgiving celebrations. And to be honest, it hasn’t been my favorite. But all that is changing this year! I have assigned myself to corn duty, and instead of plain, buttered kernels, I will treat my nearest and dearest to an ultra-comforting savory corn pudding. It’s soft and tender on the inside with just a touch of texture from the cornmeal that helps it bake up with a delicate golden crust.
