What Is A Tigger Tail? Tigger Tails are a classic Disney snack that is found at Pooh’s Corner at Disneyland. A Tigger Tail is a stack of marshmallows on a candy stick that is dipped in caramel, then white chocolate, then rolled in sanding sugar and drizzled in dark chocolate. It looks just like Tigger’s tail from the Winnie The Pooh movies! They are sweet, sugary, caramel-y, and absolutely delicious. A perfect “Tigger-riffic” treat for a fun-filled day at Disneyland....

Given the fact that our team of contributors and testers spend so much time in the kitchen day in and day out, it’s no wonder that we’ve developed some preferences when it comes to our essential, most time-saving kitchen tools. Want to hear what they are? 1. Fluke Infared Thermometer // Elise Bauer, Founder “I love my infrared laser thermometer because I can be working anywhere in the kitchen and I just point the thermometer at the pan to see how hot the pan is....

Enjoy this beautiful salad made with pantry-friendly canned chickpeas, pomegranate arils, fork-tender potatoes, and your favorite herbs (think cilantro! mint!). Toss it with a sweet and sour dressing made with lime juice and a little brown sugar. What’s Chaat? This dish is my version of the humble chana—it means “chickpea” in Urdu—chaat I grew up eating in Lahore, Pakistan. Chaat is a street food found in parts of South Asia, like Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh....

No matter what, potatoes make for a great dinner base. While I could easily just do with a bit of salt and butter, these chickpea-loaded potatoes make a full meal that you can feel good about serving your family. Vegan Loaded Baked Potatoes I grew up eating potatoes loaded with nacho cheese and steamed broccoli, but over the years as a vegetarian, I found the potatoes to be a perfect base for myriad healthy vegetarian options, like roasted vegetables, tofu, and legumes....

Enter the Hemingway Daiquiri. It’s light, perfectly balanced, sweet without being cloying, and, dare I say it, sophisticated. This is a drink that will make you think of the daiquiri in an entirely new way. The History of the Hemingway Daiquiri In some ways a Hemingway Daiquiri is similar to the more commonly known New Orleans-style slushee version: It contains rum, lime, sweetener, and it’s a pretty color. But the Hemingway Daiquiri has its own unique history....

But all that’s changed now with the introduction of Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat, two plant-based burgers that, with a few toppings and a good bun, might just fool a meat eater. What Are the Ingredients of Impossible and Beyond Meat? Even though both brands launched within the past decade, they’re two entirely different animals (no pun intended). Impossible Foods makes a gluten-free burger made largely of soy protein concentrate, coconut oil, and sunflower oil, along with genetically engineered heme that gives it its meat-like quality....

Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes I love finding new things to cook in my Instant Pot, and these mashed potatoes are no exception. It is such an easy recipe. You can seriously drop the potatoes and water in the pot and forget about it until the timer goes off. I especially like this method because it frees up your stovetop for other things. On big holidays like Thanksgiving I need all the stovetop space I can get....

This, straight from the mouth of my nine-year old nephew, who, since mint-chocolate-chip is his favorite ice cream flavor, has probably had more mint chocolate chip ice cream in the last year than any of us have had in the last twenty. Needless to say, hearing such a declaration when you’ve gone the extra effort to make ice cream from scratch is rather gratifying, don’t you think? Why Use Fresh Mint We have a couple of mint patches growing in our yard, though I never thought to use the mint we grow for ice cream until now....

When I’m baking, a few drops of almond extract take my basic sugar cookies from just fine to flavorful. In my cocktails, I use orgeat, a sweet almond syrup, to add a sweet nuttiness with floral undertones. It creates layers of flavor that get my guests asking, “WHAT is in this delicious drink?!” If you’re not well-acquainted with tiki, tropical drinks or some classic pre-prohibition drinks, orgeat may be an unfamiliar cocktail ingredient....

Picnic Cake We got this recipe from my Aunt Cathie, who is an amazing cook! Everything she bakes is so delicious and this recipe definitely does not disappoint. (If you are looking for other tasty treats to bring to a picnic, our Salted Caramel Rice Krispie Treats also came from her recipe book, and they are DIVINE!) If you’re eating this cake at home, or if you bring a cooler on your picnic, this 9×13 cake is great served with whipped topping or vanilla ice cream....

With this tart, I keep things simple and let the natural flavors shine. I don’t add many spices or aromatics (though, of course, you could!)—I simply roast the veggies with salt and pepper. Roasting brings out their natural sweetness and adds a bit of caramelized complexity (it also eliminates excess moisture, which helps prevent a soggy tart). After that, I add some hot peppers to the mix (any can work; choose based on your heat preference and what’s available at the market) and a bit of tangy goat cheese to balance the sweet vegetables, and into the oven it goes....
