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!

Red Lobster’s Endless Shrimp Is Back — The Same Deal the CEO Said Wouldn’t Return

All-you-can-eat promotions can be a great value, but it’s easy to overdo it when the food keeps coming. Shrimp is actually one of the leanest proteins you can order — low in calories and high in protein — so leaning toward preparations like the Garlic Shrimp Scampi or the new Marry Me Shrimp over heavily breaded options like Walt’s Favorite is a smart way to enjoy the deal without the heaviness. Slowing down between rounds and drinking water throughout the meal also helps you tune into your hunger cues before ordering more.

A single large egg contains roughly 147 milligrams of choline — primarily in the yolk — contributing meaningfully toward the recommended daily intake of 425 to 550 milligrams for most adults. Despite decades of concern over dietary cholesterol, current nutritional research increasingly supports eggs as a whole-food protein source with significant micronutrient value.
