Come on in 'The Kitchn'

This week, The Kitchn gives guidelines on how to serve food at a cocktail party so that your guests are satiated and you're not left with tons of leftovers. Tips include making a few substantial things to fill people up among the bite-sized canapes, preparing more dishes that will make good leftovers, and stocking the freezer with reader-to-bake hors d'oeuvres. Also on The Kitchen, pudding cake recipes, how to freeze bacon, oven glove suggestions, and a recipe for healthier hot wings....
  • Spring Dessert Trend: Pudding Cakes: Pudding cakes are great for spring; they're warm and comforting, but lighter and softer than winter cakes. Check out these recipe suggestions for making your own!
  • Quick Tip: Freezing Bacon: Always have bacon on-hand by freezing individual slices. Just wrap the bacon in plastic wrap or parchment paper. A plus: bacon is easier to dice when frozen.
  • Good Question: Looking for Long-Lasting Oven Gloves: Are your oven gloves wearing down too quickly? Check out these suggestions for long-lasting gloves that will stand up to the heat.
  • March Madness Recipe: Healthier Hot Wings: These hot wings aren't healthy, but perhaps not as unhealthy as other hot wings. Heat your vat of oil to 400°F and dump in those wings!
