FROM THE EDITOR I’M RAMPING UP for the holiday season—while simultaneously burrowing down during the weather that inevitably comes with it. The season comes with a bit of dichotomy for me: I want to go to parties and I want to live on the couch. I want to keep gifting simple (an Allrecipes subscription, perhaps) and I want to go all out. I want to try new recipes and I want to stick to the hits. Luckily—at least on the recipe front—I think there’s space for both. It’s the season of abundance, after all. No matter how you celebrate, I hope Allrecipes can serve as an inspiration for your holiday cooking. merry everything to you and yours!

Nuts have nutrients that can curb stress. For example, 2 tablespoons of almonds contains almost 20 percent of an adult’s daily magnesium needs. Getting enough magnesium may help ease anxiety and depression: The mineral regulates the neurotransmitters that tell our brains to be anxious or stressed. More research is needed, but it’s theorized these messengers get stuck in the “on” position and getting enough magnesium can help turn them off. Almonds also provide zinc, which helps regulate your body’s stress response. Lower zinc levels in the body are associated with higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol. For a boost of zinc and magnesium, add almond butter to your morning or post-workout smoothie. Omega-3 fats also give you an edge in managing stress, and walnuts are a great source. A 2022 study…
