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 Orange Cream Shake Is Back — The Seasonal Return That Fans Mark Their Calendar For

Milkshakes are one of the more calorie-dense items on any fast food menu, so sizing down is the easiest way to enjoy the experience without overdoing it.

Pairing it with a lighter entrée like Arby’s turkey sandwich rather than a heavier roast beef combo is another easy way to keep the overall meal more balanced while still treating yourself to the seasonal shake you’ve been waiting for.

The Bread That Built Civilizations

Whole grain sourdough bread — made with unrefined flour and long fermentation — is nutritionally significantly superior to industrially produced white bread. The fermentation process breaks down phytic acid, an antinutrient in grains that inhibits the absorption of minerals including iron, zinc, and magnesium, making the nutrients in whole grain flour more bioavailable in sourdough than in bread made with commercial yeast. Long fermentation also produces organic acids that lower the glycemic response of the bread, making sourdough one of the lower-glycemic bread options available despite being made from the same basic ingredients as higher-glycemic alternatives.

Baby potatoes are naturally rich in fiber and complex carbohydrates, and using a combination of mayonnaise and sour cream rather than mayo alone reduces the fat content of the dressing while adding calcium and a pleasant tang.
