Americans, on the whole, love space. Our houses keep getting bigger and bigger, and we keep inventing new rooms. Bonus rooms? Why not. Home theaters? Absolutely. And as anyone who has ever moved from ...
Gardening is the type of hobby that seems more affordable than it actually is. Sure, there are ways around this--like borrowing items from a tool library, and taking advantage of some of the (legal) w...
Are you stuck at home this weekend, while your friends and family are enjoying themselves out of town? Not to worry: You didn't miss your chance at summer travel. In fact, you can get airfare as low a...
We like to dismantle our food here at Skillet. That includes taking pigs out of blankets and deconstructing cheeseballs. In the spirit of deconstruction, I've taken apart the egg roll. It turns out, s...
The culinary world has no shortage of jargon, and occasionally it feels like an entirely different language. While I enjoy picking up a bit of French or Javanese, learning the meaning behind the name ...
While we've all been focused on growing a bee-friendly habitat in our gardens by planting pollinator friendly varieties, there's something else that's vital to the health of bees that often goes unmen...
Inflation be damned: Americans are serious about their summer travel this year, according to the American Automobile Association (AAA). In fact, in a recent news release, the organization estimates th...
People who hate American cheese either do not understand it, or have allowed classism to ruin it for them. I would not serve it on an assiette de fromage, but it is my go-to for burgers, bologna sandw...
I'm not a big fan of The Rich, but I have a soft spot for Martha Stewart. Maybe it's the prison time, her terrible food pics, or her refusal to portray herself as anything other than insanely wealthy ...

Some folks leave the nest with a solid education in cooking for themselves. Some folks move away from home and can barely microwave a frozen burrito without the risk of burning the house down. Luckily...
Across all of social media, I keep encountering a certain brand of annoying influencer behavior. Instagram, Facebook, TikTok--all are packed with videos that feature someone (usually a white woman) su...
At their simplest, pancakes are relatively mild in flavor. Yet, somewhere down the line, this breakfast quick bread took a hard left to near dessert status. Pancake recipes vary, but most of them incl...
If there's one thing we can all agree on in these divisive times, it's that food prices are too damn high. As long as you're in the segment of the population that knows how much a gallon of milk costs...
Like everything that costs money, hotel stays have gotten more expensive. But what you see is not necessarily what you have to settle for if you join HotelSlash, a search and booking engine that track...
If anything could get me to believe in a higher power (and the fact that they have a sense of humor), it's the existence of eggs. They're a perfect food (that we get from the butt region of a mostly f...
Rice Krispies Treats are an easy-to-execute, adaptable dessert: You can go the traditional route, or change it up with different cereals, use potato chips, or elevate it with browned butter. As good ...
Orgeat is something I only found out about in my 30s, about the time when I could confidently afford to go to a fancy cocktail bar and have that confidence dashed by not understanding ingredients on t...
Milkshakes and concretes are two frozen treats that look awfully similar. As Memorial day approaches and the need to scarf frozen desserts skyrockets, it's a good time to learn the difference between ...
