    • 0.5 teaspoon minced garlic

    • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

    • 2 tablespoons water

    • 4 cups broccoli florets

    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!

And that homemade stock you made from the carcass? It’s significantly lower in sodium than anything from a can, which makes a real difference across a full week of cooking.
