1. Apple-Cherry Dump Cake Rather than choosing between cherry dump cake and apple dump cake, make them both at once. This slow cooker dessert will be popular with fruit fans thanks to chopped apples, dried cherries, and a pinch of apple pie spice.

How to Store Cooked Pasta You’ll have the most success storing leftover pasta if you keep the sauce and noodles separate. Keep that in mind before you mix sauce and pasta together, especially if you’re storing your leftovers in the freezer (because yes, you can freeze cooked pasta if you don’t think you’ll be eating it for several days or weeks). You’ll want to freeze the sauce separately as the pasta and sauce will require different times to thaw or reheat....
Feel free to experiment with different tools and methods to achieve the best effect. For example, if you find that small details, like this cat’s carved eyes, are difficult to create with a regular pumpkin-carving knife, try etching the area with a gouge and using a needle tool to punch through the pumpkin rind and clear out the space. If you don’t mind perfectly-circular eyes, you also could use a power drill fitted with a tiny bit to bore through the pumpkin wall....

How to Choose the Best Poinsettia Poinsettias might seem short-lived because they usually start dropping their brightly-colored bracts (the modified leaves that often get mistaken for petals) and looking sparse soon after the holidays are over, but today’s varieties actually last much longer than they did even a few years ago. Some can hold their color for months instead of just a few weeks. When you’re picking out poinsettias to decorate for the holidays, look for plants that have healthy green leaves; they shouldn’t be curled, brown, or falling off the lower stem at all....

This guide will help you address two ways of cleaning a popcorn ceiling—dusting and stain removal—as well as provide guidelines for doing so safely and (relatively!...
