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!

One Bag of Frozen Peas, Five Meals That Are Actually Worth Making

Frozen peas are nutritionally on par with fresh — and in some cases better, since they’re frozen within hours of harvest before nutrient degradation can set in. A cup delivers around 8 grams of protein and 7 grams of fiber, which is unusually high for a vegetable. They’re also one of the few plant-based sources of complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids. Add them to meals at the very end of cooking — they only need 2–3 minutes of heat and overcooking drains both their color and their nutritional value.

Research on frozen versus fresh produce consistently finds that produce frozen within hours of harvest retains nutritional quality comparable to or exceeding that of fresh produce stored for several days — meaning that frozen August corn or frozen peak-season blueberries may be more nutritious than their fresh counterparts available in winter, not less.
