For some instant joy right now, may I recommend a really easy sprinkle cookie recipe that tastes even better than it looks? They're plush, complex, fragrant, and also, you know, really cute decked out in holiday sprinkles. You're going to love them.

I rarely saw straight-up cranberry pies so I made my own. I found that the secret to a great one was an even better contrast. This is topped with a thick crumble of oats, toasted pecans, cinnamon, brown sugar and butter and it's heavenly against the tart berries.

Social security is a set of trust funds with a balance of about $2.7 trillion as of December 2024. We are the source of these funds. It belongs to us. These funds should be protected so we can protect each other. www.ssa.gov/oact/progdat...
Asset reserves grew from about $69 billion at the end of December 1987 to about $2,908 billion ($2.9 trillion) by the end of December 2020. Since the end of December 2020, asset reserves have declined slightly to about $2,721 billion ($2.7 trillion) by the end of December 2024.

A ridiculously simple pasta with fresh mushrooms, garlic, chives, and crème fraîche that's always in heavy rotation because it's the easiest way to turn a bag of mushrooms into a meal that, by some miracle, everyone loves. I hope it's a hit for you, too.
