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!

The Vinegar Shelf: Why the Most Overlooked Ingredient in Your Pantry Deserves More Attention

Several studies have found that consuming vinegar before or with a meal reduces postprandial blood glucose and insulin response, with effects that are meaningful for people managing blood sugar levels. The mechanism appears to involve acetic acid’s inhibition of starch-digesting enzymes, slowing the absorption of carbohydrates.

When buying frozen berries, checking the lot code at home and registering your email with the FDA’s recall alert system at fda.gov are simple habits that can help you catch issues like this one before the berries make it into your smoothie. If you’re in one of the eight affected states and shop at Publix, check your freezer today.
