Healthy Fact of the Day

While this is definitely a dessert indulgence, dark chocolate provides antioxidants and may support heart health. To make slightly healthier, use low-fat milk in pudding and reduce sugar content. Consider using Greek yogurt in place of some mascarpone. Fresh berries add vitamins and antioxidants. For a lighter version, use angel food cake and sugar-free pudding. The protein from dairy helps make this more satisfying than many desserts. Consider small portions and sharing. This is a special occasion treat best enjoyed in moderation.

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!
