Preparation Swirled with bright, bold colors, this cake is totally cosmic. It’s our easy-to-make take on the colorful galaxy donut trend. The good news is there’s no piping needed for an out-of-this-world cake made right at home.

Preparation Thanksgiving might seem like a tricky time to try something new, but hear us out. We’ve developed a topsy-turvy technique for roasting turkey that creates a super moist, flavorful bird every time. Traditional turkey roasting methods are prone to overcooking the breast meat or undercooking the dark meat, but cooking the bird upside down solves the problem. The benefits of roasting a turkey breast-side down are twofold: The dark meat cooks faster when it’s closer to the heat source, and the juices trickle down for extra-moist breast meat....

Preparation If your soon-to-be spouse has been married before, you may be worried they that won’t be as excited about marrying you as you are about marrying them. Don’t be.
