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!

Starbucks Just Dropped Two New Blue Drinks — And Every Purchase Helps Fund Clean Water

The Iced Blue Coconut Matcha is more indulgent at 310 calories, largely due to the cream-based cold foam, but it also delivers 9 grams of protein from the milk components. If you want the matcha flavor with fewer calories, ask for light cold foam or swap to oat milk. And the blue spirulina used to color both drinks is a naturally derived pigment from algae — a genuinely cleaner alternative to the artificial dyes used in many other brightly colored Starbucks seasonal offerings.
