You know the feeling you get when you have a problem in your home — a stain, a crack, an annoyance or a mundane task of some kind — and realize, with relief and a bit of relish, that you have the means on hand to fix it immediately? That’s the feeling I get when I look at this list of kitchen items that pull double-duty around the house: I don’t have to buy anything new or special to fix this thing I’m dealing with, because I can just use this other thing that I always keep in my kitchen. Yes.

Here are the top 10 kitchen things we use to solve problems all over the house.

As an author of slow-cooker cookbooks, I often get reader questions about ingredient substitutions. I’ll hear comments groaning that certain family members “don’t like beans” or other common ingredients in slow-cooker recipes — and that’s okay! My very favorite thing about slow cooking is how customizable the recipes can be to fit your food needs and preferences.

Here are five tips for adapting non-slow-cooker recipes, as well as sizing up any slow-cooker recipe and making the necessary changes to fit your preferences.

I get a lot of emails about weight loss plateaus. I’ve covered them in Dear Mark after Dear Mark. I’ve personally written countless emails to readers about beating a stall. Friends, colleagues, and peers frequently come to me for assistance with their slowed weight loss. If you type “weight loss p” into Google, the first autofill suggestion is “plateau.” Not “plan” or “program.” Clearly, weight loss stalls are a big issue for people. But they’re also usually inevitable. On any diet, weight loss stalls just happen. Our bodies are always chasing homeostasis, and once we get comfortable at a new weight, it can be hard to progress any further without making major changes to our diet and lifestyle.

Perhaps surprisingly, Primal folks arguably have it even harder because the initial weight loss comes so easily, making those little slowdowns even more conspicuous. We notice them. We grow desperate for solutions, for a return to the easy weight loss. And so we just do exactly what worked before, only harder. We go even lower carb. We exercise six days a week instead of four, even if it means losing an hour or two of sleep. We eat even more fat and we reduce protein to make room for it. And sometimes, this works. But not always. What worked before won’t necessarily continue working.

That’s the thing: weight loss is easy until it’s not. And when what used to work no longer seems to, we have to change course. How do we know which course to take? How do we avoid going in the wrong direction, trying something new and ending up worse off than when we started?

This is why weight loss ultimately fails people. It’s why people regain weight after losing it. It’s why we all have perpetually dieting friends who can’t lose weight no matter what they do. Most people simply don’t know what the heck they’re doing, so even if they get lucky and stumble into an effective weight loss plan, once that plan stops working they’re out of luck.

So rather than continue to answer individual queries (which I’ll continue to do when warranted, of course, so keep those coming), I decided to write a timeless resource for easy dissemination to interested parties.

It’s out. It’s been available. A few months ago, I quietly released an eBook to Primal Blueprint newsletter subscribers. It’s The Primal Blueprint Definitive Guide to Troubleshooting Weight Loss, and the responses from subscribers have been hugely positive.

What is it?

In case the name doesn’t give it away, it’s a simple framework for tackling weight loss plateaus and slowdowns. The guide explains the 23 weight loss stumbling blocks I see most frequently trip people up (and how to overcome each one), describes the eight most common weight loss plateau archetypes (and how to figure out which one you are), and shows you how to use the information from the previous two sections to construct a weight loss plan that will work for you.

Rather than speak in generalities, the eBook explains exactly why most people have trouble losing weight. Many of the solutions are self-evident, consisting of identifying the stumbling block and then doing the opposite. For these, the power lies in identifying them. But you’ll also get prescriptive advice for overcoming the roadblocks whose solutions aren’t so intuitive.

To receive The Primal Blueprint Definitive Guide to Troubleshooting Weight Loss, subscribe to the PrimalBlueprint.com newsletter. The PB newsletter is different from the Mark’s Daily Apple newsletter. In addition to the Troubleshooting Weight Loss guide, subscribers periodically receive important emails pertaining to crucial Primal topics like weight loss, gut health, inflammation reduction, and stress management. When we release new products, subscribers are the first to hear about them. And they also frequently get special discounts and offers that aren’t available anywhere else.

There are many good reasons to sign up for the Primal Blueprint newsletter. The Primal Blueprint Definitive Guide to Troubleshooting Weight Loss is just the latest.

Thanks for reading, everyone. Hope to see you in the newsletter!

A few years ago, a fellow cooking class instructor and I were setting up for class when the topic of kitchen towels came up. She offhandedly mentioned her favorite towels weren’t really even made for the kitchen, but were in constant use after she had kids. Can you guess what she was talking about?

I love a simple stir-fry that combines one protein and one vegetable; not only is it easy to prepare, but it’s also an entire meal when served with a bowl of rice. No need to prepare a side dish! Because let’s face it — sometimes we just don’t have time for that.

For the past week I’ve been battling sinus pressure, sneezing, and congestion, and it seems like everyone I know is in the same boat. It’s just that time of year, I suppose, for bad colds and allergies.

Whether you’ve got the sniffles or want to cheer up someone who does, this recipe for rosemary chicken noodle soup is the answer.

Q: I’ve read every suggestion to keep my fresh carrots fresh in the fridge, but I want to buy a lot of them from my excellent farmers market while I still can. I plan to stock up this week, and want to know what’s the best way to preserve them. Maybe canning or freezing?

You might have been told never to play with your food as a kid, but now that you’re an adult, you can fully ignore that rule.

Just look at this art project from Lucky Peach, where they turned four hot dogs into Disney princesses — Rapunzel, Ariel, Belle, and Pocahontas.
