Last week we asked our readers what they cook and serve for a vegetarian dinner party. What are the very best main dishes for vegetarian dinner parties? The best center-of-the-table showstoppers? Here are a bunch of great vegetarian dinner party dishes, straight from our readers. More

A certain person in my household has a rather hard time remembering his lunch in the morning. He will leave it on the entryway table while picking up his keys, and then I'll get a rather sad call an hour later, asking me to return it to the refrigerator. I rib him about this, but I'd love to just solve the problem, for his sake! So I turned to The Kitchn's Twitter friends (do you follow us?) and asked them: What is the very best way to remember one's lovingly home-packed lunch in the morning? Here's what they had to say!

The gingerbread cutters would make a great gift for someone else, but you don't need a special cutter to make them for yourself at home. Just use a regular gingerbread man cookie cutter and the fluted edge of a tart pan to create the "bites" wherever you want. I do it all the time.
