One of my favorite things in the whole world is a great grilled cheese sandwich. I love the way the melted cheese oozes along the crispy bread. Apparently, I am not the only one. TeamSugar member BoHoBaby108 recently shared her recipe for Grilled Three Cheese and Tomato Sandwiches. These look so great to me; in fact, I think I just figured out what's for dinner tonight!

This month is National Diabetes Awareness Month, and many of you have inquired about diabetes-friendly recipes. In order to raise awareness, I thought it would be helpful to compile a list of cookbooks geared towards managing diabetes without giving up taste. Books like the Complete Diabetic Cookbook provide recipes that are designed for a diabetic, but are flavorful and creative enough for the whole family. There are also plenty of books designed with little ones in mind. The book You Can Eat That! is designed with colorful illustrations and kid-approved recipes.

After you have finished your Thanksgiving meal, clean the kitchen and take a nice, leisurely walk. By the time you return home you will feel refreshed and ready for a piece of pie and a glass of champagne. Pumpkin pie is the obvious choice for a decadent dessert. Jazz yours up with an amaretto whipped cream. Serve a second dessert option in the form of a chocolate pecan pie. Slice up any leftover pie and give to guests as they leave. For the recipes to these divinely delicious desserts, please read more
This year, I've vowed to have my holiday shopping done well ahead of the main event. Usually I'm that poor sap running around on Christmas Eve muttering horrible things under her breath because somehow someone was left off of my initial list. However this year, that's not going to happen; this year we've put together some amazing gift guides and we've got something for everyone. Whether you're shopping for your close family members, or your wine snob neighbor, we'll have some great choices for you.
Here are some of the categories we've got up our sleeves: Hostess, Baker, Cheese Lover, Vegetarian, Gardener, Cupcake Fiend, Cookbook Collector, Beer Aficionado, Griller, Brunch Lover and many many more. They'll start up next week, but here are a few gift ideas to give you a taste of what's to come.
If you're anything like me, you have already started to plan your elaborate Thanksgiving table setting. I begin to prepare the table when I start selecting a menu.
To ensure maximum cook time in the kitchen, set the table as early as you can, preferably days before Thanksgiving. Put everything — tablecloth, placemats, plates, silverware, etc. — in its place on the table. Sort serving platters and decide which one will hold potatoes, vegetables, and cranberries. Write the name of the dish on a post-it and place inside the specified serving platter. As you prepare the food, you will easily find the proper serving dishes.
If using your regular everyday table for the Thanksgiving meal, gather all of the components to the tablescape in one place. Thursday morning delegate a trusted family member or friend to set the table while you cook.
At the age of 42, the Pillsbury Doughboy — aka Poppin' Fresh — is looking good for his age. He hasn't needed any Botox and looks just as good as he did when he first debuted on Nov. 7, 1965. Although his outside appearance has stayed the same — he's computer generated now, but was originally a plaster and foam-rubber puppet — his interests have changed. Over the years he's appeared as an opera singer, a painter, a sky diver, a skateboarder, an accordion player, and more.
If you're wondering what he was like when he started, check out an early commercial below. When you're done, jump to the next page for a few more.
You know the drill, but just in case you are new around here: You are at home and hungry for food. You have to cook up something scrumptious for you and your boyfriend/ girlfriend/ spouse/ child/ friend, but the ingredients you have on hand are limited.
You have a bunch of cooked bacon leftover from yesterday's BLT dinner. You have fresh, ripe avocados, and a carton of eggs. Using these ingredients, along with whatever staples you currently have in your cupboard and refrigerator, what would you make? Tell me in the comments section below!

If you are trying to incorporate more seafood into your diet, but find yourself too busy to learn how to fillet a fish, try cooking with shrimp. Shrimp is readily available in most grocery stores and is effortless to make. It's a lot like chicken because it can be flavored in hundreds of different ways. Tonight's succulent seafood dish is seasoned with salt, pepper, five spice powder, and jalapenos. The end result is a meal that bursts with flavor in every bite. Want the recipe? read more
PopSugar2 recently shared a very interesting Thanksgiving tradition. Every year her mother-in-law complains about a long lost turkey platter that PopSugar2 misplaced. Only PopSugar2 has no clue what her mother-in-law is talking about! Let's help her break the horrifying tradition by heading off to market in search of a gorgeous turkey platter. The serving plate should be festive but practical, and large enough to include a 20-pound bird. Bookmark the platters you discover in the Yum Market on TeamSugar with the keyword tag, Turkey Platter. Happy hunting!
