DINNERS UNDER 500 CALORIES Try these light meals from our Weeknight Cooking section. TRICK OR TREAT! Consider handing out dark chocolate this Halloween: Scientists at California’s Loma Linda University recently found that chocolate with high concentrations of cacao (at least 70 percent) can reduce stress and inflammation while also improving memory, immunity and mood. LOOKING GOOD The protein collagen, which strengthens hair, skin, nails and joints, is everywhere these days. Almost 300 new collagen-enriched powders, bars and supplements were introduced in the United States last year! But you don’t need to take a supplement. These ingredients can help the body produce more of its own collagen. JUST BREW IT Do your heart a favor and check out the special coffee section on page 43. A recent review of studies published…

Sunny, whenever I make chicken and dumplings, the dumplings stick to the bottom of the pot. Help! David Daffron St. James, MO Either the dumplings are too dense or the pot is too crowded. Don’t overwork the dough, and make sure to stir the dumplings constantly once they hit the pot. There are many different types of dumplings, but I use a simple method I learned from my mom (foodnetwork.com/sunnysdumplings). —Sunny Anderson Geoffrey, what inspired you to become a chef? Tatiana Szewczuk Clark, NJ I’ve always loved hospitality, eating and entertaining, but I actually trained as an economist. Instead of pursuing that career, I ended up traveling to France for a short time after college and fell in love with the culture and lifestyle there. I appreciate the regality with…

In Maneet Chauhan’s family, Halloween is a monthlong celebration. The Chopped judge, her husband, Vivek, and their kids, Shagun, 7, and Karma, 3, often go through three sets of costumes in a single season—one for trick-or-treating, another for a night at her Nashville restaurant Chauhan Ale & Masala House and one more for a party at their Franklin, TN, home. At the restaurant and at home, Maneet goes all-out with her Halloween treats. “The spookier, the better!” she says. “I don’t get to make these dishes on a regular basis, so there’s no limit to how creative I’ll get.” “The key to creating the veins is cracking the eggs properly: Don’t be too gentle but don’t put too much pressure on them either.” HALLOWEEN DEVILED TEA EGGS ACTIVE: 40 min…

If you’ve ever tuned in to The Pioneer Woman, you’ve likely heard Ree Drummond talk about Pawhuska, the small town in Oklahoma (population 3,400) where she and her family live. It used to be a sleepy place with mostly vacant storefronts and few visitors, but in October 2016, all that changed. Ree and her rancher husband, Ladd, renovated an abandoned former department store and opened The Mercantile, a 25,000-square-foot general store, restaurant and bakery. It wasn’t long before Ree’s fans—up to 15,000 of them a day—were filling the streets of Pawhuska. The Drummonds have since opened a small hotel and a pizzeria, and now a steakhouse is on the way. Getting to a town like Pawhuska takes some effort—the closest big city is Tulsa, a little more than an hour’s…

The newest property in the Drummond empire is P-Town Pizza, across the street from The Boarding House. You might not think of a small town in Oklahoma as a place to find world-class pizza, but one visit to P-Town will prove you wrong. The ingredients are sourced from some of the best Italian food purveyors in the country, and the crust is thin and crispy with just a little chew (the result of testing the dough 73 times!). You’ll find classic cheese and pepperoni, of course, but the specialty pies are the real draw, including Pizza-Ree-A, with pesto, baby tomatoes and goat cheese. Locals flock to the take-out area on the first floor, but upstairs there’s a proper dining room and lounge with 11 TVs; Ladd’s hoping the place will…

“WE ALWAYS DO FAMILY COSTUMES. LAST YEAR WE DRESSED AS DEVILS: ALL BLACK WITH CAPES, FANGS, HORNS, TAILS AND PITCHFORKS. I THINK IT CHANNELED AN INNER ME!” “I WENT AS A CHRISTMAS TREE ONE YEAR. I WORE A TIERED GREEN DRESS WITH BATTERY-POWERED LIGHTS AND HUNG ORNAMENTS ALL OVER IT.” “FORMER CHICAGO BEARS COACH MIKE DITKA—A.K.A. ‘DA COACH.’ I HAD A MUSTACHE, BEARS SWEATER, AVIATORS AND A CIGAR. IT WAS DEFINITELY A FAVORITE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD!” We asked the stars: What was your best Halloween costume?…

Best gift ever “My Honda minivan! I’ve bought the same model—a used Odyssey—several times. One year my husband, Philippe, surprised me with a brand-new car. It smelled divine, but I never loved it like my trusty Odyssey—and Philippe could tell. So the best gift was actually an un-gift: He sold the new car and got me a used Odyssey.” Favorite birthday cake “Is it weird to say carrot cake? It’s my favorite of all time.” Best birthday party ever “Last year we had a low-key dinner party at our home. Philippe hired paella makers, and my daughter Charlotte made dozens of cupcakes. It was perfect.” Favorite way to celebrate “Birthdays in our house mean breakfast in bed. I love seeing the people I care about most right when I wake…

What exactly is that flavor? It sure isn’t corn! Candy corn’s main ingredient is sugar—and lots of it. The big brands also include corn syrup, dextrose and honey, which give the candy a marshmallowy taste, along with artificial flavors that add undertones of butter and vanilla.

As first jobs go, Lidey Heuck couldn’t have done much better than this one: Three days after graduating from Bowdoin College in Maine in 2013, the English major reported for duty in East Hampton, NY, as Ina Garten’s new assistant and social media director. Her friends were in awe, her classmates were jealous and her father—well, he was just confused: “He had no idea who Ina was,” Lidey says. “So he said, ‘Wait, you just got this expensive education and you’re going to be an assistant to a chef?’” He didn’t realize at the time that his daughter had landed one of the most fabulous jobs on the planet. Lidey, a longtime Ina fan, would soon be exploring extraordinary markets, meeting world-famous chefs, and cooking side by side with the…

This one might qualify me for the parenting hall of shame: A few years ago I made a batch of brownies that called for three tablespoons of instant coffee granules. This, by the way, is enough to make about nine cups of coffee. Somehow, in the hours between when I made the brownies and when I offered a giant one to my 3-year-old daughter, I forgot about the coffee part and inadvertently gave her a caffeine high right before bedtime. She danced like a lunatic for an hour until the buzz wore off. She’s 6 now, and I’m not sure this is related to the brownie incident, but she loves an iced latte more than anyone I know. She has never even tried a real one—only an occasional taste of…

A Little Something Fun-size candy is celebrating a big anniversary: Fifty years ago, Mars first printed the phrase on its downsized Snickers bars. The company soon expanded the line to include Milky Way, 3 Musketeers, Mars bar and M&M’s. Of course, competing candymakers wanted in on the fun, too: Curtiss Candy Company added the phrase to small Baby Ruth and Butterfinger bars in 1971 and, despite a lawsuit, others followed. The candies have been a trick-or-treating mainstay ever since, although kids might argue that fun-size bars aren’t technically as fun as normal candy bars: They’re only about 30 percent the size!…

A decade ago, the only people who knew much about cold brew were cutting-edge baristas and residents of certain parts of Louisiana, where the beverage is a specialty known as New Orleans–style iced coffee. These days, cold brew is a national obsession, with sales growing more than 400 percent over the last two years. Because it’s made by steeping coffee grounds in cool or room-temperature water, cold brew has less acid and tastes smoother than regular iced coffee, which is made simply by cooling down hot coffee. Now that so many coffee lovers are cold brew enthusiasts, restaurants and cafés are expanding their options and serving the drink in the form of a cocktail. Here are three fun versions to try at home.…

Consider this the ultimate iced latte: It’s a tower of coffee ice cream! To make it, we just cut the carton off a large container of ice cream, added layers of brownie and then wrapped the whole thing in fondant to look like a coffee cup.

LESS IS MORE. You don’t need to fill your kitchen cabinets with tons of fancy gadgets—you can make fabulous food with a good knife, a mixing bowl and a stack of sheet pans. KEEP THE FOOD SIMPLE. If you use fresh high-quality ingredients that are in season, they will shine in the most basic dishes. Sometimes this means an extra stop at a farmers’ market or specialty-food store, but it is so worth your time! KNOW YOUR GUESTS. These days it seems like everyone has something they can’t or won’t eat. Not everything you serve has to be vegan, but there should be something absolutely delicious for everyone to eat. MAKE IT AHEAD. Get as much done as you can before your guests arrive; entertaining will be so much less…

Dead Ringers Set aside some Halloween candy this year to make a Day of the Dead–inspired jack-o’-lantern: Use a serrated pumpkin-carving knife to cut out a nose shaped like an upside-down heart and a mouth with notched teeth, then outline your carvings with black licorice laces or candy buttons (attach with straight pins or hot glue). Embellish the face by adding Life Savers, berry gummies, sliced licorice bites, sour straws, Runts, Tic Tacs and flower-shaped gummies.…

How to Carve Using a paring knife, carve a hole that’s wide enough to fit a battery-powered candle in the bottom of the fruit. If the fruit is solid in the center (like a pineapple), cut out the flesh with the knife. If the fruit is hollow (like a melon), use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and scrape out some of the inside. Carve a face, then line the inside of the face with parchment for an even glow. Position the fruit over the candle.…

Best in Glass If you’ve found yourself longing for the good old days, you’ll be happy to hear that the milkman is back: Dairies across the country, like family-run Homestead Creamery (homesteadcreameryinc.com) in Wirtz, VA, have started offering home delivery of fresh milk straight from the farm (some even use glass bottles!). In the 1960s, nearly 30 percent of Americans got milk from a milkman, but because of better refrigeration and cheaper grocery-store prices, home delivery accounted for just 0.4 percent of milk sales by 2005. Here’s hoping it makes a full comeback! Here are some more dairies and distributors that deliver fresh milk.

Once Ladd realized how many out-of-towners were coming to The Merc, he thought lodging was in order. Ree wasn’t eager to take on another big project, but after he showed her some plans, she was sold. This past spring, they opened The Boarding House, an eight-room inn housed in two buildings adjacent to The Merc. The couple split up the design of the rooms (they each took four), so every space has a distinct personality. Ladd’s have more of a masculine cowboy look, with leather headboards and cowhide rugs; Ree’s feel feminine and romantic, with ornate mirrors and glittering lamps. Staying at The Boarding House comes with perks like automatic reservations at The Merc restaurant, plus complimentary coffee delivery and an evening happy hour with beer and wine. Snagging a…
