When it comes to holidays, St. Patrick’s day isn’t usually the most popular one to celebrate. Everybody still has to go to work and school, and if you don’t have Irish roots, it’s easy to forget about the day altogether. That’s a shame, though, because it’s the perfect time to get creative with some fun,
It seems like everyone we know started to get serious about baking in the past year, and though some of us were set on perfecting sourdough or mastering the perfect banana bread (it’s brownie banana bread, FYI), others took their new skills in a more whimsical direction, and the jelly island cake was born. These
My name is Yashica Chesterfield (@imjustshica), and I’m 38 years old. I live in Nashville, Tennessee, and I am a benefits specialist. After years of yo-yo dieting, I tried 16:8 intermittent fasting and began walking for weight loss. I had always struggled with weight issues, even as a kid. I had tried every diet trend
Ina Garten is our go-to for delicious, indulgent dinners. From her fresh crab nachos to her roasted veggies, she is seriously the queen of making food elegant. Somehow she even manages to elevate a PB&J sandwich. Her latest creation has our stomach growling already, it’s a cod recipe with garlic and herb Ritz crumbs. Great
Can you name something more comforting than a warm, creamy, ooey-gooey bowl on homemade mac and cheese on a cold winter night? It’s the ultimate comfort food and while there are countless different boxed mac and cheese products you could make, nothing will ever compare to homemade. The only downside to homemade is that sometimes
We love following TikTok food trends, because we tend to find about things we’d literally never even thought of making or eating before. Dalgona cloud coffee turned our morning caffeine ritual into one of the best parts of our day, baked feta pasta changed weeknight cooking forever, and don’t even get us started on that
My name is Dionna Thompson (@so_damthicknbad), and I am 28 years old. I live in Atlanta, Georgia, and I am a certified personal trainer. My weight went up and down pretty much all my life, and I remember gaining weight in middle school. In high school, however, I lost a lot of weight and was
As we performed our daily sweep of Giada De Laurentiis‘ social media accounts, we were stopped in our tracks by her whole wheat linguine. Not because of its colorful pasta and vibrant green beans and cherry tomatoes, but because of the pasta hack De Laurentiis buried in the caption of the Instagram post. And now,
Matt Scanlon, a 43-year-old steel erection manager from Sligo, Ireland, shares how he reversed his weight-gain from living a sedentary lifestyle for almost 10 years with diligent training and a re-calibrated diet.

There is something about making any homemade pasta recipe that takes me back to those elementary school days when we would play with Play-Doh — except instead of fake neon-colored “noodles” now it’s real, delicious dough that will be transformed into a real, delicious Italian dish. Homemade pasta can be daunting, but we promise this
We’re in that spot between seasons where we’ve honestly grown a little tired of totally over-the-top comfort food, but it’s still too cold out to start noshing on our lighter spring favorites. We’re in a food funk, and who better to help guide us out of it than Giada De Laurentiis, creator of fresh-tasting but
As much as we love picking up baked goods from Costco to enjoy with our cup of joe, we’d be lying if we said we didn’t crave homemade treats from time to time. Yes, store-bought cookies or muffins taste just as good but baking from scratch always proves to be worth the added trouble. And
Vitamins and supplements are highly useful tools for a lot of folks looking for some immune system support through cold and flu season and beyond. But they are just that—tools. They are not a foolproof solution to stay healthy. The best way to achieve that goal, and support a strong immune system, is by packing
Hot cocoa bombs for Easter? Why not! Easter is all about the sweet stuff, and let’s face it – this early into spring, the mornings and evenings are often still cold enough to crave a mug of hot chocolate. This year, add a little something special to your Easter baskets with hot cocoa bombs designed
My name is Kimberly Parham (@kimberly.s.parham), and I am 37 years old. I live in Virginia, and I am a virtual health and wellness coach. When I cut out alcohol, I also cut out a lot of weight gain.

SK: What about your freezer? CS: I always have bags of Birds Eye frozen vegetables on hand. It’s so convenient because they can be used as a side dish or as an ingredient in a variety of recipes. It really all comes down to easy meal prep for me, not going to lie. Healthy Choice
Bored with your go-to breakfast these days? Have cake. No, really. Baked oatmeal is the latest TikTok recipe to go viral, and it’s basically an excuse to eat cake for breakfast. Not only are TikTokers sharing a variety of baked oatmeal recipes, from blueberry and birthday cake to lemon and strawberry bake oatmeal, but the
Maybe this isn’t a surprise to you, but apples are one of the best fruits you can eat. They’re high in fiber, have about 100 calories per fruit, and are easy to eat on the go. Plus, they are super versatile, so you can eat them on their own, fresh or dried, or mixed with
ICYMI: around here, whenever Giada de Laurentiis drops a tip about pasta our ears (and notebooks) are wide open. Yep, the chef is a master when it comes to any and all things pasta so when there’s a new ingredient or recipe she says we have to try, well — we have to try it.
