I would contend that strawberry shortcake is not only the best summer dessert, but also the best dessert for a summer party. Why? Well, beyond the obvious — juicy ripe berries, cool whipped cream, and tender biscuits are basically a love note in the form of dessert, complete with hearts dotting every “i” — all the components can be made well ahead of party time, and even packed up to go.

Here is a step-by-step recipe for simply the best strawberry shortcake you (and your guests) will eat all summer long.

Sorrel is forest green and grassy in color, but it is all yellow and citrus in taste. Wild or cultivated, this so-called weed has a wonderful, sharp lemony flavor (thanks to oxalic acid in its leaves). It is packed with nutrients, and has more assertive and bright character than you might find in more common greens.

If you aren’t cooking with sorrel, I strongly recommend you start.

Blast from the Past

Researchers have come up with formal recommendations for how much time we should spend sitting every day. The evidence-based recommendation is that Americans should begin to stand, move and take breaks for at least two out of eight hours at work.

Then, we should gradually work up to spending at least half of an eight-hour work day in what researchers call “light-intensity activities.” This includes simple non-sitting movement like standing and walking.

There are more than just health benefits associated with standing desks; these desks can potentially improve work performance. Teachers in Marin County are convinced their school’s new standing desks help kids be calmer and more attentive.

I personally find my ability to focus is significantly improved by using a treadmill desk. If you’re interested in learning how I’ve put mine together, check out my guide to building an affordable treadmill desk. If you can’t use a treadmill desk, I also describe a few options for a standing desk instead.

Research Report

• Eggs do not have any detrimental effects on metabolism compared to an oatmeal-based breakfast. 
• More than half of probiotics contain traces of gluten – not good for the gluten intolerant.
• Breastfeeding may reduce risk of cancer recurrence for mothers who later develop breast cancer. 
• New research examines the mechanisms underlying the circadian control of the female reproductive system.
• 7.7 % of Americans were obese in 2014, an all-time high. 
• There is very little reliable evidence to suggest eating fresh red meat contributes to colorectal cancer. 
• High-protein diets aid weight loss – as long as people actually increase their protein intake.
• Insulin resistance strongly predicts cardiovascular disease risk.
• Optimal sleep is likely beneficial in reaching peak athletic performance.
• Physical activity, cardiorespiratory fitness, and exercise interventions may enhance brain health in late life.
