Irish Coffee

Healthy Fact of the Day

While Irish coffee is a treat, the coffee provides antioxidants. To make it healthier, use low-fat or non-dairy milk and limit added sugar. Consider using a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup. The coffee provides a caffeine boost, but be mindful of portion size and enjoy Irish coffee as an occasional indulgence as part of an overall balanced diet.

    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!
