Healthy Fact of the Day

Beets are an excellent source of folate, manganese, potassium, and vitamin C. They also contain betalains, which are powerful plant pigments with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

  • 4 medium beets, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 cups mixed greens
  • 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
  • 1/4 cup toasted walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey

 

Instructions

 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss the diced beets with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
  3. Roast the beets in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, roasted beets, crumbled goat cheese, and toasted walnuts.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar and honey to make a simple vinaigrette.
  6. Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  7. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, if desired.

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!

Five Ways to Use Cottage Cheese That Are Actually Worth the Hype

Cottage cheese earns its viral moment nutritionally — a single cup delivers around 25 grams of protein, which rivals chicken breast ounce for ounce. It’s also high in casein protein, which digests slowly and keeps you full significantly longer than whey-based sources. Look for full-fat or 2% versions rather than fat-free — the fat helps with satiety and carries the flavor in a way the fat-free version simply doesn’t. If sodium is a concern, give it a quick rinse in a fine mesh strainer, which removes a meaningful amount without affecting texture.

Why Heat Changes Everything: The Science of a Summer Kitchen

High ambient temperatures in the kitchen can significantly affect the nutrient retention of cooking oils — oils that are heated past their smoke point undergo oxidation that produces harmful compounds including aldehydes and acrolein, which have been associated with inflammatory effects in research. Using oils with higher smoke points for high-heat August cooking — avocado oil, refined coconut oil, clarified butter — reduces the formation of these compounds compared to using delicate oils like extra virgin olive oil at temperatures that exceed their smoke point. Reserving extra virgin olive oil for finishing and dressing rather than high-heat cooking is both a culinary and a nutritional best practice, and particularly relevant in the August kitchen where oils reach higher temperatures more quickly.
