This one-bowl cranberry orange cake is perfect for holiday baking. Adapted from a favorite from The Kitchn, this easy recipe requires just one bowl and an electric beater.

Chocolate-Covered Mango-Passionfruit Cake
Like most people, I don’t really love going to the doctor. Unsurprisingly: paying my premiums is a source of severe irritation, particularly when the all-too-familiar solution to whatever is an unhelpful and ambiguous prescription of “rest.” As a result, I’m generally one to wait things out.
