    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!

    Why Chefs Rest Meat and You Probably Don’t

    Properly rested meat retains more of its natural juices, which means you need less added salt or rich sauces to make it flavorful, and the redistribution of moisture during resting helps preserve water-soluble B vitamins that would otherwise be lost when juices run out onto the cutting board.

    McDonald’s Shamrock Shake Is Back—Here’s How Long You Have to Get One

    Milkshakes and ice cream treats are high in sugar and calories, so enjoy them occasionally rather than regularly. If you’re craving something cold and sweet more often, try blending frozen fruit with Greek yogurt and a splash of milk for a homemade shake that’s lower in sugar and higher in protein. You can add a drop of peppermint extract and a handful of spinach (you won’t taste it) for a healthier take on mint-flavored treats.
