    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

    The End of an Era: Minute Maid Frozen Juices Discontinued After 80 Years

    With frozen concentrates fading away, consider making fresh juice part of your routine—but with a healthier twist. Instead of drinking juice alone, blend whole fruits with water or unsweetened plant milk to retain fiber and reduce sugar concentration. Try combinations like orange with carrot and ginger, or apple with spinach and cucumber. You’ll get more nutrients, better blood sugar control, and the satisfaction of creating something fresh. Bonus: freeze extra portions in ice cube trays for quick smoothie additions later.
