What Helpful Ingredient Swap Or Substitution Do You Absolutely Swear By?
The other day, I was making stir fry for dinner, and just when I finished sautéing the vegetables, I realized I was missing one of the main ingredients to make the sauce: cornstarch.
I was able to find some flour laying around in my pantry to use as a substitute, and luckily, it got the job done.
I know I'm not the only one who has been in this situation before, so now, I'm requesting your most helpful culinary advice regarding the matter.
I'm curious…what's the genius ingredient swap or substitution you swear by?

Aside from flour in place of cornstarch, I swear by honey and maple syrup as sugar substitutions in sauces, dressings, and curries.
Chances are, your pantry isn't always going to have every ingredient, so it's really useful to know what substitutions can work. Plus, ingredients are expensive, and the more use we can get out of each, the better.

Expert Explains Cold-Oven Pound Cake Baking Method
There are few things more comforting or better with a cup of tea than a homemade pound cake — the kind of cake that doesn't need frosting or fancy fillings to be absolutely scrumdiddlyumptious. But there's one lesser-known technique that quietly separates bakers who consult cookbooks from those who learned at grandma's elbow: starting your pound cake in a cold oven. At Tasty, we inherited a cold-oven pound cake recipe that's been a beloved mainstay at one family's gatherings for decades. 'This recipe is so popular in our family because it's so easy,' says Kemi, who baked the cake alongside her aunt in a recent video. 'It looks like it takes a lot of time, but it really doesn't — and it's kind of foolproof.' The cake she's referring to is Aunt Gussie's Pound Cake — a buttery, lemon-vanilla loaf baked without preheating the oven. It's a technique many younger bakers are encountering for the first time, but for countless Southern families, it's simply tradition. To learn more about the technique, we had to consult an expert. TikTok creator and pound cake expert Jaffry Ward, who's known for sharing soul-soothing bakes, says the cold-oven method absolutely works, as long as you're looking for a specific outcome. 'I do sometimes start my pound cake in a cold oven,' he told Tasty. 'The gradual heating helps the batter rise evenly and creates a tender crumb with a nice crust.' Hey, you!

As the oven slowly comes to temperature, the cake rises gently as the exterior of the cake has time to bake into a golden, crackly shell (the kind you want to peel off and eat first). Still, Jaffry notes that it's not always his go-to. 'Honestly, I've baked the majority of my pound cakes in a preheated oven, and they always come out perfect,' he said. 'In my experience, the cold-oven method can sometimes result in a slightly drier cake — especially if the recipe doesn't include extra fat, like sour cream or cream cheese.' The acidity and fat in cultured dairy products, such as cream cheese and sour cream, help to tenderize and moisturize butter cakes like pound cake. Aunt Gussie's recipe uses standard whole milk, but if you want to follow Jaffry's suggestion, you can substitute half of the whole milk with sour cream, crème fraîche, or cream cheese; this swap will result in an extra moist cake with a slightly tangy flavor. Even if you stick with plain old whole milk, Aunt Gussie's cake holds up beautifully (thanks to a bit of shortening in the butter base and a bunch of eggs). We find the texture stays moist even through the longer bake. 'You don't have to preheat the oven… it's the technique,' Kemi says — and it's one her family has trusted for generations. More than just a method for better texture, cold-oven baking is, for many, a tradition wrapped in memory. 'When I make it, I think about my mother,' Kemi told Tasty. 'This recipe is keeping her alive — and the memory of her.' So, is the cold-oven method the way to go? If you're after that signature crust, a gently risen crumb, and the kind of cake that comes with a story — it's absolutely worth a try. As Jaffry says: 'I can't argue it gives you a great crust.' And that might be all the reason you need to bake it the way grandma — and Aunt Gussie — did.

Turn Your Kid's Leftovers Into Dinner — Here's How
TikTok parents have a new 'hack' for dealing with the chaos that is toddler mealtime: Instead of tossing all the half-eaten chicken nuggets, squished fruit, and mutilated PB&Js, they're turning those leftovers into helpful food items, toddler lunches, and sometimes even full-blown adult meals, as evidenced by TikTok user @ delicious leftover-sourced snack platter. The idea is simple (and kind of genius?): Take the scraps your kid didn't touch and transform them into something you actually want to eat — all in the name of reducing food waste, saving time, and, let's be honest, maintaining your grip on reality. I'd bet every parent has felt the frustration of throwing away full plates of barely-eaten food. As a mom of two toddlers (yes, I survived the two under two club.. barely), I am equal parts intrigued and deeply skeptical. Can this actually work, or is it just one more unrealistic parenting fantasy brought to you by the internet? I decided to try it using my own kids' real dinner leftovers. Here's what happened. The "meal" I attempted to make? Turning leftover meatloaf into mini sliders. The Leftovers: The Upgrade: Hey, you! Wanna cook 7,500+ recipes in step-by-step mode (with helpful videos) right from your phone? Download the free Tasty app right now. The Verdict: Honestly? It was delicious. The meatloaf held up surprisingly well, and the extra ketchup totally brought it back to life. But — and this is a big but — it wasn't exactly effortless. I made this while my toddlers were at daycare and ate it in peace. The real work wasn't the cooking, it was the mental energy of figuring out how to reinvent a kid's half-eaten plate. Was it a fun little culinary challenge? Sure. Was it some life-changing mom hack? Absolutely not. Now, I did walk away from this experiment with a few useful takeaways. Thinking about my kids' leftovers differently — not as trash, but as potential ingredients — can actually lead to some smart, sustainable wins. For example: Small shifts like these make me feel a little less wasteful and a little more creative in the kitchen without all the pressure of a full-fledged meal! At the end of the day, the toddler leftovers trend is... a mixed bag. If you've got the time, energy, and mental space, it can be a fun way to reduce waste and flex some creative kitchen muscles. But if your kids are screaming, the sink is full, and you haven't sat down since breakfast? It's also completely OK to eat a half-eaten grilled cheese over the counter and call it a win. Would you try this trend with your own kids? If you want to (or already have!), let me know what you're thinking about making in the comments. And for good measure, here are my kids (sort of) eating their dinner. For hundreds of kid-friendly recipes, download the free Tasty app for iOS and Android!

Block Build Waukesha, free home repairs help revitalize neighborhood
The Brief Revitalize Milwaukee's Block Build is in Waukesha's "The Stand" neighborhood. The volunteer effort hopes to benefit the community with free home repairs. Project leaders said the group always had plans to expand into Waukesha County. WAUKESHA, Wis. - An entire Waukesha block is getting a makeover thanks to Revitalize Milwaukee's Block Build. By helping a whole neighborhood, there's hope a whole community will benefit. What they're saying It's safe to say Bob Hyland's house has seen better days. FREE DOWNLOAD: Get breaking news alerts in the FOX LOCAL Mobile app for iOS or Android "They said, 'Get things ready to throw out.' I tried to fill the dumpster," he said. "I did a pretty good job." Hyland has lived in his home since 1964. When his dad died in 2011, Hyland became the owner. But it was a chance encounter last fall that really brought about change. "What we're doing sometimes comes with a little suspicion, somebody knocks at your door: 'We want to do some free home repairs.' Really?" said Jeff Boss, a Home Depot manager. Home Depot pays for all the materials, and Revitalize Milwaukee gets to work. Together, they pick neighborhoods in need of some TLC. This weekend, that neighborhood is "The Strand." SIGN UP TODAY: Get daily headlines, breaking news emails from FOX6 News "Our normal critical repair and emergency repair is more 60 and up, and veterans and disabled folks," said Revitalize Milwaukee's Christian Ricco. "To some degree, that also gets into, with lead and asthma, some children involved." Hyland's house, in need of bathroom and ceiling work, is the biggest project. Six other homes in the neighborhood will have free work done that includes painting, landscaping and structural repairs. Without the volunteers, Hyland said he wouldn't have been able to scratch all of the projects off his to-do list. "Thank you to all of them," he said. "They said, 'We want to thank you,' and I said, 'No, no, I'll thank you!'" What's next Revitalize Milwaukee project leaders said the group always had plans to expand into Waukesha County. Hundreds of volunteers' work will continue in the neighborhood between Whiterock and East Main on Saturday. The Source FOX6 News interviewed participants in the Revitalize Milwaukee Block Build for this report.
