Long before major culinary retailers began shrinking their grown-up sized cooking utensils to fit into lil hands, the Easy-Bake Oven gave tots a taste of kitchen magic. First introduced in 1963, the turquoise oven had a fake stove top and used two 100-watt lightbulbs to bake pre-made mixes and food.
Over the years, the oven evolved with the changing views toward kitchen design.

There's no better way to really catch Fall fever than to prepare a steamy seafood dish that also incorporates the season's top produce picks.
For dinner tonight, sauté aromatic leeks and unconventional hen of the woods mushrooms in butter, add broth, and simmer halibut and clams in liquid until just barely cooked.
The resulting meal, which is delicate both in texture and flavor, makes for an enjoyable end to the weekend.

When I'm totally wrapped up in Thanksgiving cooking, prepping, organizing, shopping (need I go on?), there's hardly a fighting chance that I'll make it to the gym for a full-on workout. Usually, I'll try to squeeze in a set of push-ups while prepping dinner preparation, or an early morning yoga session, if I can. So, I was excited to see Marco Borges, the trainer credited with whipping Beyonce, husband Jay-Z, and Gwen Stefani into tip-top shape, sharing an easy and no-equipment-needed workout with US Weekly.
