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!

Peanut Butter Brownie Swirl Cookies

While these Peanut Butter Brownie Swirl Cookies are a delightful treat, they can be made healthier with a few simple swaps. Opt for natural peanut butter without added sugars to boost protein and healthy fats. Incorporate whole wheat pastry flour for an extra fiber boost. Dark chocolate kisses provide antioxidants, and reducing sugar or using a natural sweetener can lower the calorie count. The protein from peanut butter makes these cookies more satisfying than many others. For portion control, consider making smaller cookies or freezing part of the batch. Remember, these are special occasion cookies that should be enjoyed in moderation as part of an overall balanced diet.
