I ALWAYS STAIN MY KITCHEN TOWELS WHEN MAKING MARINARA SAUCE. HOW DO I GET THE STAINS OUT? Address the stain right away. “Immediately place the towel under cold running water to remove as much of the mess as possible,” says Allrecipes Allstar Kelsey Riley. She blots white vinegar onto the stain, lets it soak about 15 minutes, then rinses under lukewarm running water. Finally, she runs it through the washing machine using hot water and detergent (or follows garment care instructions). “If the stain is still there, do not place the towel in the dryer,” she says. Instead repeat the steps, starting with soaking in vinegar. Are fresh crab, refrigerated lump crabmeat, canned crabmeat, and imitation crab interchangeable in recipes? The type of recipe you make will dictate what type…

1. AMP UP PRODUCE INTAKE No matter what else changes over the years, the one piece of nutrition advice that remains research-backed is to eat more plants. “Science shows that eating more plant-based foods may reduce the risk of cancer, improve gut health, and support brain health,” says Kathy McManus, MS, RD, director of the Department of Nutrition at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, and a teaching affiliate at Harvard Medical School. “Focusing your meals and snacks to highlight vegetables and fruits lowers the risk of heart disease and stroke and helps prevent and manage diabetes.” New York-based dietitian Theresa Gentile, MS, RDN, recommends adding a plant to every meal and snack. McManus also suggests gradually increasing fruits and vegetables over time. If you currently eat two fruit servings…

EVEN BEFORE HE COULD STAND, CHEF JOHN WAS ENAMORED WITH THE PIE-MAKING PROCESS. Seated in his high chair, he’d fix his eyes on his mom, Pauline, and his aunts, Angela and Joyce, measuring flour, cutting in butter, and rolling out dough. It was the crust more than the fillings that caught his eye. “I was always just fascinated by the crimping,” says the California-based chef. He’d watch his mom’s crimping technique transform rough folded edges into beautifully scalloped patterns. As he aged out of the high chair, his mom and aunts let him in on the pie creation. “I would pester them to help,” he says. Their teachings led him to creating a pie dough recipe with more than 400 five-star reviews. “It’s a composite of the newer modern best…
