The Buff Dudes (aka bodybuilders Hudson and Brandon White) are known for their month-long challenges, where they make big changes to their lifestyles to see what kind of impact it has on their health, fitness and overall wellbeing. With more and more people adopting a plant-based diet, and with research suggesting that a vegan lifestyle

The keto diet has been massively popular in the last few years, and for good reason: It’s the go-to diet of celebs like Halle Berry, Savannah Guthrie, and Jenna Jameson, and it’s been shown to lead to major weight loss for many women who’ve tried it. The thing is, going from eating whatever you want

Fans of intermittent fasting (IF) absolutely rave about all the purported benefits, yes. But behind all the talk about what type of fasting schedule is right for you or whether you can combine IF with other diets like keto, there’s an often-overlooked fact: IF can still cause side effects or have its negatives…especially if you’re

Let’s all take a moment to appreciate the saucepan — that humble, hardworking cookware basic that probably rarely leaves your stovetop. The saucepan may be less exciting than, say, your pretty enamel-coated cast iron Dutch oven or your fancy grill pan, but it probably gets a lot more use, too, thanks to convenient sizing (saucepans

Some kitchen items you buy out of necessity, others you buy out of pure want. Dutch ovens are (arguably) the latter: They’re the kind of luxurious pieces Pinterest dream kitchen boards are made of. However, gorgeous as they are, Dutch ovens also serve a purpose beyond the purely aesthetic — they’re multifaceted and can be

The McDonald’s Happy Meal is 40 years old, and damn, it doesn’t look a day over 20!

Starbucks is giving customers an early holiday gift once again. Last year, customers went bonkers when the store handed out free reusable red cups to coincide with the return of Starbucks’ classic holiday drink line-up. This year, the offer still stands, but the cup has a makeover to tie into 2019’s “Merry Coffee” theme. Here’s

Imagine David Beckham dining at your pub and documenting it on Instagram Stories to his 55.3 million followers. The food lover, who often shares photos of fancy dinners and fine wine on Instagram, shared with his followers his love of one particular London pub for his Sunday roast. It's not exactly any ol' pub though,

Everyone’s favorite secret-not-so-secret hobby of eating raw cookie dough just got even more dangerous—on top of, you know, the whole salmonella thing. Nestlé USA is recalling a slew of its refrigerated ready-to-bake cookie dough products after rubber was found in some packages. Importantly, there have been no reported illnesses or injuries, so, it’s not totally

Now that Halloween is behind us, it’s time to untangle those Christmas lights and take inventory of your holiday platters. It’s also that time of the year to indulge in those classic holiday flavors: pumpkin, pecan, cinnamon spice, sweet potato, cranberry, and cornbread, just to name a few. And lucky for us, Aldi has plenty

When it comes to getting dinner on the table in a flash, Instant Pot recipes are all the rage. But they aren’t the only easy cooking game in town. Foil packet meals let you cook up individual meals in next to no time. And you aren’t limited to using foil. The French call it cooking en

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: the cast-iron skillet is an essential tool in any man’s cooking arsenal. It’s a timeless instrument equally at home in the oven or on the stovetop, even on the grill or over a roaring campfire. You can use it for making pizza, grilling veggies, or searing

Food and wine pairing seems like an almost untouchable art form. Only the excessively sophisticated know exactly which wine to pair with which dish, and only the real experts get it right every single time. The rest of us—the casual drinkers and the wine lovers, alike—are left feeling intimidated every time we look at a

If you’ve never tried one of Levain Bakery’s famous cookies, the first thing you need to know about them is that they’re a massive six ounces each (think: bigger than a McDonald’s Quarter Pounder). “They’re meant to be shared,” says co-founder Pam Weekes. The second thing you need to know is that you’ll be totally

Even if you’re not Keeping Up With Keto Diet (get it?), odds are by now—especially given the food fad’s undying popularity and all—you know some of the basics about the high-fat, moderate-protein eating plan. So from the outside looking in, it might seem like the keto diet’s essentially a free pass to eat all the

Let’s be honest: Even the slightest sign of fall—changing leaves, a pile of sweaters, the rampant Pumpkin Spiced Latte orders—makes us develop an unwavering craving for hearty chili, creamy stew, and some warm, mouth-watering brisket. Sure, you could order in all your fall food essentials, but why not try to make your favorite seasonal dishes

Trader Joe’s is no stranger to developing, testing and releasing new, improved, and soon-to-be-cult-favorite products. And, undoubtedly, the Trader Joe’s product with the most acclaim since it hit shelves in 2017 — one that gained popularity seemingly overnight — is Everything But the Bagel Seasoning. And while the grocer has capitalized off the popularity of

If you’re on the high-fat, low-carb keto diet, you have no choice but to pass right by crowd-favorite Panera Bread at lunchtime, right? I mean, the offending food group (hi, carbs) is literally right there in the restaurant name. Before you start weeping into your meal-prepped Tupperware of protein and avo at your desk, you

Without question, peanut butter is one of the best foods out there—you can spread it on bread for a sammie, add it to smoothies, spoon it on oatmeal, or in my case, simply grab a spoon and eat it straight from the jar. (No shame, here.) However, when it comes to storing this magical spread
