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!

When buying frozen berries, checking the lot code at home and registering your email with the FDA’s recall alert system at fda.gov are simple habits that can help you catch issues like this one before the berries make it into your smoothie. If you’re in one of the eight affected states and shop at Publix, check your freezer today.

The Herb Garden That Changes How You Cook

Fresh herbs are among the most nutrient-dense foods available relative to their volume — providing significant concentrations of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients in the small quantities typically used in cooking. Fresh parsley, for example, contains more vitamin C per gram than most citrus fruits, along with significant amounts of vitamin K and folate. Fresh basil contains notable amounts of vitamin K, vitamin A, and the antioxidant compound eugenol. The regular addition of fresh herbs to finished dishes — made easier and more frequent by a kitchen herb garden — represents a meaningful nutritional contribution to any meal that includes them.
