Perfect baked sweet potatoes await you.

We found several great ways to make fluffy whipped cream ... and one method for splattering it everywhere.

I’m a big fan of prepping ingredients in advance, but it can be tricky to keep some ingredients fresh until you need them. Case in point: apples. Once cut and exposed to air, the apple’s flesh begins to brown due to oxidation. And whether you’re packing up lunch for yourself or your kids, or you want to cut apples ahead to make apple pie or apple crisp, nobody wants brown apples. The only way to stop oxidation is to create a protective barrier between the cut fruit and the air.

Whether your mashed potatoes are watery, lumpy, over-salted, or gluey, we'll show you how to fix them and make them delicious.
