    9 Dog Breeds That Look Like Puppies Even When They're Fully Grown

    9 Dog Breeds That Look Like Puppies Even When They're Fully Grown

    Puppies are irresistible. We fall in love with their big eyes, little button noses, fluffy tails, and clumsy paws. And yet, like any pet, puppies grow up and turn into dogs. Some breeds, like the Old English Sheepdog or Great Dane, will grow to become larger in size than most people. But not all dogs are destined to become giants. There are some breeds that stay small in size even when they're fully grown. You may want a forever puppy if you are used to smaller animals. Maybe you have a small apartment or just want a canine companion that you can easily carry along with you anywhere you go. Small dogs are also great for families with young children or those of senior age who are best matched with a breed they can physically handle. Fortunately, some specialty dog breeds are mixed to look like puppies throughout their entire lives—and they are sure to melt your heart the second you lay your eyes on them.

Comfort food is warm and inviting, hearty and crowd-pleasing, and always delicious. These simple recipes, such as our favorite All-Beef Meatloaf, pack in plenty of flavor and offer a taste of nostalgia.

What counts as comfort food? A big bowl of pasta certainly fits the bill, which is why we included two delicious iterations of spaghetti and meatballs. The first is a classic: our Test Kitchen's Favorite Spaghetti and Meatballs. The meatballs are made up of equal parts chopped cremini mushrooms and ground beef, which give them A+ texture and rich, umami flavor. The other—Spaghetti and Eggplant "Meatballs," pictured here—is a satisfying vegetarian version made with eggplant and white beans, which add plenty of might without the meat.

Another classic comfort food recipe is macaroni and cheese. Sure, the boxed version is convenient, but our recipe is so indulgent that you won't mind an extra step or two. Use a combination of American, cheddar, and Parmesan cheese to create a luscious sauce. Your family will also love digging into Creamy Baked Ziti, which uses whole peeled tomatoes as the base for the tomato sauce and a cheesy trio of cream cheese, low-moisture mozzarella, and grated Parmesan.

We have some sweet comfort food, too. Perhaps the most classic dessert recipes ever are our Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies and Chewy Brownies. Whether you serve them for a family birthday party or make a batch just because, they're sure to be gone in a snap.

From classic beef stew to the French-inspired beef bourguignon, take a trip across the world and through the past with these comfort food recipes.

Wondering how to get the perfect golden-brown crust on each slice of bread without it sticking to the pan? A combination of softened butter and mayonnaise does the trick. For the cheese, we like using both American and sharp cheddar—that combination creates the ultimate pull.
