Our favorite part of Valentine’s Day has always been the food, from the cookies and candies we got in grade school Valentine exchanges to the elaborate restaurant date nights we experienced later in life. But this year, things are a little different. If you’re planning on celebrating Valentine’s Day at home, alone or with your

You either love or hate Valentine’s Day—there’s really no in between. Sure, you loved it as a kid (what child doesn’t want a sugar rush and little presents from their friends?) but as an adult, there’s not much to look forward to except flowers that die a week later and a box of chocolates. Or—so

After the documentary The Game Changers piqued his curiosity, Jonne from The Unlaxy Way on YouTube decided to switch to a vegan diet. He ate no meat for 180 days to see what kind of impact it would have on his overall health and fitness, and chronicled the experience in a recent video. “The first

If you drink alcohol, then at some point, you’ve likely tried to drink less of it (raises hand). And during a time when I’ve reached for a nightcap more than ever, I finally decided it was time to put the breaks on the booze and find an alternative to coping with boredom, stress, and whatever

When my job held a leadership development program, part of the presentation included a mock-sparring exercise with the other participants. At one point the presenter asked me why I was out of breath. He was trying to show me that I was moving too much, when I should have been focused. But it hit home

Butterfinger, you better not be playing with our emotions, because now that you’ve put it out there that Crispety Crunchety Peanut Butter might become a thing, we won’t take no for an answer. On Jan. 24, the Ferrero brand took to Instagram to post a picture of the Butterfinger-inspired peanut butter. It included the caption,

Jamie Oliver is the king of vegetarian meals. He has kids of his own, so he knows how to sneak those veggies into kid-friendly meals. His recipes are made for families, and they’re perfect for those activity-packed days where you only have thirty minutes to put a meal together before dropping the children off at

When you’re looking to lose weight, social media success stories can be a serious source of inspiration. And if you’ve seen a bunch of those features online over the years, chances are one of them may have mentioned OPTAVIA®. Followers of the weight-loss plan eat a mix of pre-made, portion-controlled food sent to their door

Picture it: It’s a super busy day with the kids and you really don’t feel like cooking, so you decide to grab some fast food for dinner. Everyone decides they want Chick-fil-A, you get into your car, start to drive off but suddenly stop. It’s Sunday, and Chick-fil-A is closed. Finding meals for busy nights

How many times have you optimistically bought loads of veggies and then ended up tossing some of them, spoiled and uneaten, weeks later? It’s easy to overestimate the amount of fresh vegetables you need and end up with a graveyard of salad fixings in the produce drawers of your fridge. But food waste is bad

If you are a Trader Joe’s fan us, then you know about their Annual Customer Choice Awards where shoppers can select their favorite products in different categories and, of course, vote for their overall favorite. Unlike last year’s surprise winner for Favorite Overall, fans seem to have stayed in their comfort zones this year. Orange

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and is it just us, or are heart-shaped boxes of chocolate kind of…tired? Don’t get us wrong, we love a sweet gift, but our preferred love language is crunchy deliciousness like chicken nuggets. If you’re on the same page, well, you’re in luck because this year because Tyson

Having the perfect condiment to top a burger is a serious game-changer. Fast food chains have been creating their own specialty sauces for decades  (think In-N-Out’s secret sauce, McDonald’s Big Mac sauce and even the Chik-fil-a sauce) and the sauces have become the best part of the meal. Well, if you’ve tried (unsuccessfully) to recreate

Homemade baked goods are always delicious, and since quarantine began, we’ve certainly been spending more time than usual baking in the kitchen. (Hi, sourdough bread!) Add in the cold weather, Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, and our favorite celebrity chefs dropping new recipes left and right (we’re still not over Martha Stewart’s 5-Ingredient Truffles) and we’re

The Super Bowl is on Feb. 7, and beyond the question of which two teams will play is this very important question: Do you have your Super Bowl snacks ready? Of course, you still have time to put together everything you need for a fun (and small) celebration with your family, but we’ve already got

If you’ve ever seen Jennifer Garner’s #PretendCookingShow on Instagram, you know the 48-year-old digs delicious meals, snacks, and desserts. But it’s the way she approaches food—namely, with a great sense of humor and pure love—that’s so darn likable. Kinda like Jennifer herself. She’s also not into super restrictive eating plans which, TBH, is exactly what

In need of more mid-day snacks to add into your meal rotation? Look no further than Giada de Laurentiis’ Honey Ricotta Crostini. Ever since the famous chef’s new discovery+ show Bobby and Giada in Italy premiered, De Laurentiis has been dropping some seriously incredible Italian recipes inspired by her trip.

In a recent conversation with powerlifter and fitness entrepreneur Mark Bell, Hadi Doumit shared the story of how his weight loss and fitness journey began, and the role his diet played in dropping a total of 235 pounds. Doumit explains that he had grown up big, and had been overweight his entire adult life, weighing

We’ll be honest, when it comes to the meals that leave us feeling ultra-satisfied, pizza is the finger food that is at the top of our list, always. It’s comforting, tasty, and a classic even the pickiest of eaters can enjoy. Of course, that’s not to say pizza can’t be built up into a fancy

When it’s cold out, our ideal mornings are filled with warm cinnamon buns fresh from the oven, savory breakfast burritos, and steaming hot lattes that keep us cozy from the inside out. Unfortunately, this dream breakfast would also make us want to immediately crawl back in bed so we can hibernate while we digest. That’s
