The secret to dicing veggies is…

Singing! Mindy Kaling said she hates dicing so much that she’ll only cut veggies for the chorus of one song. It’s an unusual method, but we like it!

Go fig or go home.

Jennifer Garner went all in on figs (and fig-related puns) with a fresh batch from her farm. Looks like she’s got it all fig-ured out!

It’s all gravy.

Chrissy Teigen attempted to bring homemade gravy (get the recipe from Genius Kitchen) on a plane — and made it! According to her Twitter, the trick is to mix cold (solid) gravy with mashed potatoes. Thanks for the tip, Chrissy!

Happy birthday, Ariana Grande!

The singer celebrated her birthday with a ring-topped cake. What can we say? She saw it, she liked it, she wanted it, she got it.

Puppy love.

Giada DeLuarentiis' mini-me, Jade, traded her takeout for a kiss from their puppy. How sweet!

Japan just got a little bit stranger…

The cast of Stranger Things visited the Robot Restaurant during a trip to Japan. On a scale of 1-10, their dinner looked like an 11.
