The 3 Biggest Dishwasher Mistakes Everyone Makes, According to Whirlpool - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I spent many years without a dishwasher, toiling alway at the sink with sponge in hand. I dreamt of the day a magical appliance would whisk my dirty dishes away, transforming them into sparkly clean cups, bowls, and plates. When I finally had my very own dishwasher, it was everything I hoped ... with a caveat. Since I don’t have a lot of experience with dishwashers, I didn’t think about the fact that they are machines that require proper usage and maintenance to keep humming. You can’t just shov

And while I have fond memories of Stouffer’s, there are far more frozen lasagna options now. Like my mom

Like all vegetables, they can be lackluster if not given a bit of special attention (think plain steamed broccoli or boiled potatoes). That means I’m always looking for fun new ways to prepare green beans, and my latest discovery has become a downright obsession. Why haven’t I ever thought to broil green beans before?! Now I can’t stop. The process really could not be simpler. Preheat your oven’s broiler o
The Easiest Way To Cut a Hard Butternut Squash - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Butternut squash is a fall and winter staple, starring in seasonal dishes like butternut squash soup, butternut squash risotto, sheet pan dinners, and pasta. There’s just one problem: It can be a lot of work to prepare. Between its thick skin, awkward shape, and seeds, it’s a lot. A steady hand, a sharp knife, and patience are all musts, but I rarely have all three. That’s why this clever tip changed how I prep butternut squash. Now, I can easily fold it into my usual meal prep routine. My solut
