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!

Teriyaki Chicken Pineapple Kabobs

Pineapple contains bromelain, a natural enzyme with anti-inflammatory properties that also helps tenderize the chicken during marinating—making it a functional as well as flavorful addition. Grilling rather than frying keeps the added fat minimal while developing maximum caramelized flavor from both the teriyaki glaze and the natural fruit sugars.

The Summer Table: Lessons From the Mediterranean Way of Eating

The PREDIMED study — the most comprehensive randomized clinical trial of the Mediterranean diet ever conducted, involving over seven thousand participants followed for nearly five years — found that participants assigned to a Mediterranean diet supplemented with extra virgin olive oil or nuts had a thirty percent lower risk of major cardiovascular events compared to those assigned to a low-fat control diet. The study was stopped early because the difference in outcomes was so significant that continuing to withhold the Mediterranean diet from the control group was considered unethical. The Mediterranean diet is the most evidence-supported dietary pattern for cardiovascular health in the nutritional research literature — and the specific evidence for extra virgin olive oil as its most important component is among the strongest in nutritional science.

Checkers and Rally’s Just Upgraded Their $4 Meal Deal — And the Math Is Hard to Argue With

The $4 Unbeatable Meal Deal is a strong value, but four items in one sitting is a lot of food. The Loaded Tender Wrap on its own is a reasonable fast food meal — a chicken tender, cheese, bacon, and ranch in a tortilla covers protein, fat, and carbs without the additional Chicken Bites and fries on top. If you’re sharing with someone, splitting the Chicken Bites and fries between two people while each ordering your own entrée is a smart way to take advantage of the deal without overeating. The Spicy Chicken Sandwich is also worth considering as your entrée — the heat tends to naturally slow you down, which makes it easier to stop before finishing everything in the bag.
