Oreo’s Newest Flavor For 2024 Is One Of My Favorite Combos

'The Black & White Cookie. I love the Black & White!' This is a quote from my favorite show 'Seinfeld'. There's a whole bit about the Black & White Cookie on the show. Nothing goes better together than vanilla and chocolate! I totally agree! I love the Black & White Cookie. I first had this cookie as a kid. My dad is from New York, and they've been popular there for a long time. The cookie is a popular one among the Jewish community and are a fixture at Jewish deli's up north and in parts of Florida. Of course, you can get them at many places in the Charlotte area too! Now the folks at Oreo are trying the flavor out with a limited time cookie.

According to Chew Boom, Oreo is releasing a black & white cookie in January of 2024. Now, if you're thinking that Oreos are already black and white, you're not alone. But these are going to be different. The Limited-Edition Oreo Black & White Cookie Sandwich Cookies will be Golden Oreo cookies with creme filling that's half black and half white. So, Golden Oreos with half chocolate creme and half vanilla.

There's no exact drop date for the cookies, but keep your eyes peeled once we get into 2024. Grocery stores, Target, and Walmart should be selling them. The new flavor is only available for a limited time, so if you see them, grab 'em!

If you've never had a black & white, you should try them! Although they're a cookie, the cookie part is more cake-like. The frosting on the cookie is unlike any I've had before on any cookie. They're one of my favorite cookies! If you'd like to try them before Oreo releases theirs, I know that Publix sells them. You can buy them in a pack in their bakery section. Usually, they're from New York. Sometimes the Publix bakery makes their own, and they're really good! I do a lot of shopping at the Publix in Gastonia, and I find them there lots! So if I can find them in G-town, I'm betting most Charlotte Publix' have them as well.

I'm guessing you can also find the cookies in Charlotte at Jewish deli's and at some local bakeries. If you're looking for real New York black & whites, you can Google them and probably buy them online from bakeries. Or you can go to Goldbelly.com and order them. The stuff on Goldbelly isn't cheap but you can order food from all over the country! At least once a year I'll order bagels from New York from the site. They arrive fresh and I freeze them so that they'll stay fresh. Yes, I know you can get bagels all over but I'm telling you, the ones from New York are the BEST!

Since Christmas is coming up, if you have a foodie on your holiday list, check out Goldbelly.com. You can find all kinds of stuff for the eater in your life! If you have someone in your life that LOVES Oreo's, you can also personalize the cookies on their site. Cool!

Now that the Thanksgiving meal is behind us and we are all still feeling more than stuffed, it's time we shift our focus. To more food! Here, we'll cut into four great dinner options to feed the whole family at Christmas dinner.

Yes, Thanksgiving requires a lot of hours in the kitchen. Prepping a turkey, maybe even frying one, takes some proper attention. Then, to some, the most important part is the sides that go with the main attraction. Again, making these side dishes means cooking up a storm. However, perhaps we underappreciate the art of this meal. For the most part, the menu is designed for us. Furthermore, it is consistent every year. All you have to decide is how much to make based around how many people will be gathered around your table.

Fast forward a month, and it's time to prepare another epic holiday meal. In addition to running around to grab last-minute gifts, if you are hosting a Christmas get-together you have to do a lot of preparing, again.

Here, we are going to break down some options to jump-start your Christmas prep. First, let's set the table on some criteria, and some bust some myths. You certainly do not need to reinvent the wheel and cook up something extraordinarily unique. In fact, it's best to keep it simple. Dozens of classic dishes have already been well-established as delicious to satisfy your family, friends, and guests.

The thought process in suggesting these four Christmas dinner options is that they are proven to be delightful. They can also be prepared in large batches that do not require a tremendous amount of hours in the kitchen. These meals are family-friendly and are sharable. Some of them you may even be able to combine together. Again, this list won't spark an idea that's never been cooked up. Perhaps it just serves as a simple reminder that these Christmas dinner menu items can be straightforward and delicious enough.

A large tray of a baked pasta based meal that everyone gets to cut into just feels like a natural option. There's room here to customize your tray of course. Add meat, make it a veggie, or have one of each. Plus, the red sauce nicely compliments your holiday-themed table setting.

We'll need to clarify here, your best bet here is a log shaped filet that can be evenly cut into quarter inch - to half inch slices. There's something festive to carving a meal item in your kitchen, that is freshly cooked. You take pride in hosting and then slicing. You place your sliced filet on that serving platter that is used just once a year, walk it into the dining room and then feel joy when everyone digs in.

It's all about the slow-cooker or crock pot. You can let it warm in the kitchen all day, allowing a sharp aroma to seep into every room the family gathers in. This style is for more of the grab something quick and on-the-go Christmas meal gathering. Perhaps you have people in and out of your house, stopping by for a "cheers" throughout the day. A chili bar never disappoints. Add in your side bowls of shredded cheddar, tortilla crisps, scallions, and sour cream, and you are giving your guests the opportunity to put their own touch on your creation.

This is the meal that gives you the option for a fancier sit-down dinner. The ham centerpiece is typically joined by elegant wine glasses and pre-feast toast. Throw some potato side dishes along with an asparagus or string bean casserole, and your living room is now a fine-dining restaurant. This meal allows you to take your time. The next thing you know, it's dark outside, and you are putting a bow on your enjoyable Christmas night.
