The soft delicious, safe foods that wrap you in their arms like a blanket and tell you everything is going to be okay. For some it’s creamy buttery mashed potatoes, reminiscent of Thanksgiving dinners and afternoon naps. For others it can be a simple cheese sandwich with the crusts cut off. For me, that food is Mac & Cheese. There’s something about the crispy, salty taste of the topping. The gooey, creamy pasta. The blatant disregard for calories. Something about it just works.

When it comes to celebrations, the best steak can be an essential part of your party. Some people habitually order a juicy steak from their favorite restaurant, and this habit can easily break the bank. Instead of ordering a steak out, you should try to make it at home.

The tomato is used in more sauces, canned in more soups, drunk in more juices—to say nothing at all about Bloody Marys—put in more salads, slopped on more pizzas, grown in more home gardens, and pinched, poked, and haggled over in more markets than any 10 of its closest competitors. Not a bad track record for a berry once thought to be an evil aphrodisiac.
