If there’s one thing I’ve come to appreciate, it’s a meal that truly nourishesme.After years of cooking for others and adapting to a gluten intolerance andIBS, I’ve needed meals that check all the boxes: quick, delicious andgentle on my stomach.

Close Pictured Recipe:Sweet Potato & Black Bean Chili For someone with a picky-eater kid whose favorite foods are bacon, steak, A.1. sauce and chicken (in that order), you have to wonder what sort of thinking got into my head when I decided to cut meat from our family dinner rotation for a month. It sort of started as a whim, but lately I’ve been feeling like our family is just eating way too much meat....
Close I am a regular victim of dinner analysis paralysis. If I don’t already have a supper game plan at the end of a long day, it’s likely that I’ll end up eating a handful of popcorn or a bowl of yogurt on the couch, wondering how I let myself get to this place. That’s why the best thing I can do for myself is prep some dinner staples at the beginning of the week and live deliciously off the leftovers for a week....

Whether it’s afive-ingredient spinach salad, an easyanti-inflammatory wrapor adupe of my Starbucks order, I’m always looking for lunch ideas that keep me feeling my best while having my mouth water just thinking about them.For me, that balance comes with acaprese salad....
Pictured Recipe:Southwestern Cauliflower Rice Bowls with Shrimp & Avocado Crema On its own, the frozen side is vegan, so you could keep your meal simple and pair the riced cauliflower with some black beans for a reliable, filling and plant-based pantry meal. But if you’re open to adding some animal products to your dinner, I highly recommend pairing the rice with some affordable frozen tamales, especially if your TJ’s carries some of Texas Tamale Company’s offerings....

The first month of the year wrapping up means that Dry January is coming to an end. For those participating, this could mean pouring yourself a celebratory drink this weekend, and there’s nothing wrong with that—you deserve it if that’s what you want! Personally, I started to reflect on these past few weeks, and I believe I learned more than I ever expected to.Yes, I took on the Dry January “challenge” and have successfully completed 31 days of no drinking....

I’m constantly moving from one short-term lease to the next, and to avoid breaking my back in the process, I prefer to pack light. When it comes to kitchen gear, I only travel with the bare essentials that can take on multiple tasks and easily fit in a suitcase. Unfortunately, that doesn’t include my belovedsalad spinner. The tool is too bulkytake on the go....
Photo:Eating Well Eating Well As healthy as I try to be, there’s only so far that working out andeating nutritious foodscan take me. There’s a key component I’ve been missing for a long time—and that’sdrinking enough water. I admittedly haven’t been the best about incorporating hydration into my routine, so that’s why my number one goal for 2025 is to drink more.

Close I’ve heard more about celery juice in the last month than I ever have in my whole entire life. Actually, until recently, I’ve never heard anyone mutter the words “celery juice.” But after “nutritionist to the stars” Kimberly Snyder was quoted in anarticle onVogueclaiming that celery juice will give you better skin, I thought, “Why the hell not?” I’ve suffered through outbreaks of hormonal cystic acne on my chin since the day I turned 25 (just when you think your pimply teenage years are over) and am always looking for the new miracle cure....

And there’s evidence that being dehydrated may cause your workouts to feel harder than usual, as well as tank your performance....
Photo:Eating Well / Tyler Roeland Eating Well / Tyler Roeland I’ve been lanky all my life, so this summer, I’ve made it my mission to build muscle. According to my nutritionist, adding more protein andhealthy fatsto my diet is the best place to start. I’m a vegetarian, and until now, I’ve always leaned heavily oncarb-heavy foods—especially for breakfast. But recently, along with my favorite buttered toast or cheesy bagel, I’ve been eating two eggs daily....
As someone who eatsa saladliterally everyday, I’ve seen it all, especially after beinga CSA memberfor many years. Dirt on my lettuce, the occasional fly or aphid. Though I’d painstakingly clean my lettuce one leaf at a time whenever I needed to, I never really thought I needed a salad spinner. That is until this past summer, when I found a rogue caterpillar in my salad, and all bets were off. I took to Amazon, and added the one productour test kitchen recommendsabove all straight to my cart:The OXO Salad Spinner....
