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!

Arby’s Just Made Its Best Value Meal Even Better

The Meat & 3 Box includes a Peach Cobbler Roll as one of the three sides — a sweet dessert item that adds calories most people don’t factor into a fast food meal. Swapping your mindset around the box helps: treat the Peach Cobbler Roll as dessert and eat it last rather than alongside your sandwich, which naturally slows the overall pace of the meal and makes it easier to stop before you’re overly full. The Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwich is also a solid protein source — choosing Curly Fries over Potato Cakes is a modest calorie reduction if you’re watching your intake, since the fries are typically lighter in total fat.

The Cook Who Feeds Themselves Well: A Guide to Solo Cooking at Its Best

Research on solo eating and dietary quality has found a complex picture that complicates the simple narrative that eating alone is nutritionally inferior to eating with others. While shared meals are associated with greater dietary variety and higher vegetable consumption on average, solo eaters who cook for themselves regularly — who apply genuine attention to the meals they prepare alone — demonstrate dietary quality comparable to or better than people who eat primarily in social settings but rely on restaurant or processed food. The determinant of dietary quality in solo eating is not the absence of company but the presence of cooking — the act of preparing food from whole ingredients for oneself, regardless of audience, is what most strongly predicts nutritional quality in solo eating contexts.

Garlic Butter Baked Chicken Breast

Combining butter and olive oil in the basting mixture means you get the flavor complexity of butter and the stability of olive oil’s monounsaturated fats with a smaller amount of each than either alone would require. Chicken breast is one of the leanest, highest-protein cuts available, and the basting method keeps it juicy without adding significant additional fat beyond the modest amount in the basting mixture.
