Crab Crescents

Healthy Fact of the Day

These crescents feature protein-rich crab meat, which is low in calories and high in omega-3 fatty acids. To make healthier, use reduced-fat cream cheese and light mayonnaise. The bell peppers add vitamin C and antioxidants. Consider using whole grain crescent dough if available. Fresh herbs provide nutrients without calories. While indulgent, the protein content makes these more satisfying than many appetizers. For a lighter version, serve the filling in lettuce cups instead of crescents. The combination of protein and vegetables creates a more balanced bite.

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!

The Salt of the Earth: A Deep Dive Into the World’s Most Essential Mineral

The vast majority of dietary sodium in the contemporary American diet — approximately seventy percent — comes from processed and packaged foods rather than from salt added during cooking or at the table. This means that reducing the salt used in home cooking has a relatively modest impact on total sodium intake for most people, while reducing consumption of processed foods has a substantially larger one. The cook who seasons food properly with salt during home cooking is adding a small fraction of the sodium present in a single serving of most processed snack foods, fast food, or restaurant meals — making thoughtful home cooking with adequate salt a meaningfully lower-sodium dietary pattern than convenience food eating with no added salt.

Grilled Pesto Turkey Burgers

Campbell’s Just Did Something It Hasn’t Done in 128 Years — Changed the Color of Its Soup Can

Campbell’s Protein Soups are one of the more nutritionally complete canned soup options on the market right now — 20 grams of protein, 5 to 13 grams of fiber depending on the flavor, and notably lower sodium than many comparable canned soups. For an easy high-protein lunch, pair a can with a slice of whole grain toast or a handful of crackers to add complex carbohydrates that slow digestion and keep you fuller longer. The Mediterranean Lentil is the highest-fiber option of the five and a great choice for anyone looking to support digestive health alongside their protein goals. And because these soups are heat-and-serve, they’re a practical alternative to protein shakes on days when you want real food but don’t have time to cook.
