Vegans, plant-based eaters and people with egg allergies have long turned to pantry-staple solutions as a stand-in for eggs. Our Vegan Banana Bread, for example, features a flax “egg,” which is made with flaxseed meal and water. Our Vegan Meringues call for another versatile plant-based egg substitute: whipped aquafaba (the liquid found in a can of chickpeas).

We reached out to the USDA to find out exactly what’s going on, and a spokesperson for the organization told us there is a slight shortage in most markets....

Have you ever stood in the supermarket dairy aisle, debating whether to buy heavy cream, heavy whipping cream or whipping cream? Is there a difference and does it matter? Despite their confusingly similar names, there are subtle differences between heavy cream and whipping cream. Adding to the confusion, heavy whipping cream is actually the same as heavy cream and whipping cream is sometimes called light whipping cream.

Sometimes, it’s just time to take a small step back from the world to savor the world that is right at my fingertips.

We have some BIG chocolate fans here at EatingWell. So over the years, we’ve played around with the basic brownie recipe, dressing it up with everything from zucchini and black beans to pumpkin and dates. But never have we ever tried this brilliant trick dreamed up by Chinese Australian cookbook author Hetty McKinnon. The sauce in this recipe, which is from her new cookbook To Asia, With Love: Everyday Asian Recipes and Stories From the Heart ($35, Penguin Random House), is “the same idea as using salt,” McKinnon says during her TODAY show segment that aired on May 18....

Pesto’s nutty, cheesy, herby flavor brought impressive flavor to a quick breakfast, which made it a perfect weekday morning meal. Now Jessica Alba—actress, co-founder of The Honest Company and part-time cooking instructor—is putting a new twist on pesto eggs that we can’t wait to try out....

Once upon a time, living to a ripe old age was merely a possibility—if you were lucky. In truth, most of us didn’t make it much beyond our reproductive years; as late as the 1890s, the average life expectancy in the U.S. was just around 45. But major advances in medicine and public health have expanded that to an average age of 78 (and that includes the recent 1-year drop due to COVID)....
