I'm in college, and it's TOTALLY normal to eat in class. Almost all of the time it's bagels with cream cheese and a cup of coffee. It's quiet, doesn't smell, not messy, and (at least at my univer...

One of my favorite recipes is really good shredded carrots with olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper (just add them all to taste). It's greater than the sum of its parts, I sw...

My friends and I have "fry parties," where the host supplies the fryer, oil, and a bucket of batter, and the guests all bring crazy food to fry. We've fried everything you can imagine and then som...

Raw tomatoes. They're in everything! I really wish I liked beer. Part because it's a cultural thing like coffee, and part because I love to drink and beer is the one type of alcohol ...

I don't get it. How is this faster than using a box of brownie mix? And jello is VILE! This sounds soooo gross!

Thanks for your help, everyone! I'll be sure to let The Kitchn know how my DIY Nutella turns out. @Tiamat_the_Red and Bobolink: Thank you! That's exactly the solution I was looking f...

Isn't this just a $30 egg slicer with a different name?

I LOVE dirty mashed potatoes, with potato skins and lots of lumps!

Runny yolks are GROSS! I like over hard fried eggs on my sandwiches.

I only made no-knead bread once. I like kneading bread, and I thought the no-knead bread was totally flavorless.

That's how I like my snickerdoodles, too! This recipe makes spherical cookies like in the picture. http://www.recipe4living....

I use packaged egg whites instead of whole eggs in baking all the time and I've never noticed any difference.

Washing lettuce and peeling butternut squash. Trader Joe's sells minced frozen herbs in ice cube tray-like packs, and they have ginger! I've only tried basil and cilantro, but they we...

These are some of the best cookies I've ever made, and pretty healthy, too. http:/...

@Michelle of Montreal @cmcinnyc Thanks! I made maple almond scones that taste amazing. Grinding up some of the oats in a food processor to make oat flour worked really well, so now I'...

I accidentally bought "cook in 1 minute" oats instead of the old fashioned oats I love. Any recipe ideas for how I can use these up? Can I use them interchangeably with old fashioned oats in reci...

Seriously? I eat rice all the time, and I've never noticed anything different between white and brown. Not taste, texture, nothing.

I just made this and LOVED it! I used half the pasta (maybe why it didn't seem dry to me, like it did for some people) and a whole head of roasted garlic (hey, the oven was on anyways). I hate pe...

Now I REALLY wish my half-size oven had a window.

365 tofu wins at $1.50. Plus their oatmeal in the bulk bins is half as much as the already cheap off-brand oatmeal at Kroger's.
