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!

Happy National Root Beer Float Day — A&W Is Giving Away Free Floats Today

A classic root beer float is one of the more reasonable fast food desserts — a small float at A&W typically runs around 200 calories, which is significantly less than most milkshakes or blended frozen drinks. The vanilla soft serve provides a small amount of calcium and protein, and enjoying it as a standalone treat rather than tacking it on after a full meal keeps the overall intake in check. If you’re making a root beer float at home to celebrate the day, using a diet root beer and a small scoop of low-fat vanilla ice cream gives you the same nostalgic experience with a fraction of the calories.
