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!

Fresco-style options replace cheese and sauce with pico de gallo, cutting calories and fat. Pair your meal with water instead of soda, and consider ordering one fewer item than usual to keep portions in check.
