    Snooki is feeling so domestic these days as a new mama. She just posted a photo of TWO fruit salads she made with the caption, "Made yummy fruit salad!!!! I'm such a mom." Aw, both salads really do look yummy. (One is all strawberries?) But wait a minute there, what's especially "mom" about making a fruit salad? Is this something Snooki never saw anyone in the Jersey Shore crew make?

    And the answer is no, because there's no booze in fruit salad, silly! No, but seriously, does making certain foods make you "such a mom"? If so, what would those foods be?

    Ladies, drop what you're doing right now and watch this video. It's a Diet Coke commercial, and when I was sent the link the morning, I was like, yeah, whatever, another cute polar bear or something, lotsa laughs, I'll watch it later. TRAGIC MISTAKE. Because that means there were three hours of my day without these images in my brain.

    Please. Do yourself a favor and just watch. Do not delay the best minute of your entire day any longer.

    When it comes to Christmas cookies, they have to be cute. Of course, they also have to be tasty enough to tempt Santa himself, but they reeeeeaaally have to be cute. That's practically the whole point of Christmas cookies.

    Unfortunately, cranking those suckers out is easier said than done. Particularly if creating those cute cookies include making dough from scratch, rolling it out to the perfect thickness and generally making sure the snowflake and Christmas tree-shaped scraps turn into non-burned cookies that still resemble snowflakes and Christmas trees. And don't even get me started on the decorating process! That's why I love these adorable Reindeer Cookies from Pillsbury. They're super-easy (you can use refrigerated rolls of dough!), there's no frosting involved ... even the shapes are tough to mess up! Guaranteed cute, and the kids can help.

    So here's something I never knew about Jackson Rathbone, the cutie who plays Jasper in the Twilight saga: He likes ketchup so much he tattooed it on his leg. A big, red Heinz ketchup bottle running up his calf! I would have thought it was because ketchup is a stand-in for blood, and he plays a vampire, and... that kind of works? But as it turns out, he really does love ketchup that much.

    And I think that's just unfathomable. I happen to hate ketchup, for one thing. But for another, what's with tattooing food on your body? I love a lot of different foods, but I can't imagine feeling strongly enough about any particular food to actually tattoo its image on my body! But apparently Rathbone isn't the only one. Here's a few other foods people love enough to permanently stamp on their skin.

    Oh my, all this talk about Twilight Saga and Breaking Dawn and vampires has me craving something unusual: BLOOD. Bwa bwa bwa! Okay, not really. But did you know you can actually cook with blood? Eating blood: It's not just for vampires! It's been a culinary mainstay all over the world for as long as there have been humans. Or as you'd say it in Twilight-speak: Eating blood has been a "thing" for, like, forever.

    So check out these blood specialities -- including a few recipes. Just in case ... you know. Good luck actually locating fresh blood. From a quick search, it looks like the sale of pig's blood and/or duck's blood isn't necessarily banned everywhere in the U.S., but it's not exactly easy to find without a farmer friend or a willing butcher. I hear you can find it at Asian markets.

    Many of us are having a few people over for Thanksgiving -- maybe five or six guests. And then there are the generous, ambitious hosts who are having many, many more guests than that. As in ... 20 people! How do you manage a Thanksgiving circus like that? So much potential for chaos and food poisoning.

    I've been having this conversation with a group of friends, and some of them came up with advice so creative and useful I just had to pass it on. Take it from a few women who have hosted massive dinners (not me!): This is how you organize a BIG Thanksgiving dinner without losing your mind.

    I don't know about you, but when it comes to a favorite time of year to eat breakfast, mine is fall. Call me lame, but the options are just SO much better. Just thinking of the warm, nutty flavor of maple cinnamon oatmeal gives me goosebumps. Oh! And even better -- the delicious taste of pumpkin coffee makes me want to instantaneously go outside and jump in a pile of leaves and carve a pumpkin all at once.

    Just trust me on this one. Check out 6 great ways to bring fall to your breakfast table:
