THINGS I’M UP TO AND INTERESTED IN

Duh: “Low carbohydrate diets should be considered for diabetes management.”

Movement cue I hadn’t considered for loaded carries: “During the warmup, I kept saying, ‘push it down, pull it down.’ No matter what position, pull the kettlebell to the ground. When you’re carrying it down by your side, push it to the ground, but not so much that you lose your alignment. The weight starts getting heavy when you try to lift it.“

Concept I’m pondering: The third pillar of physical fitness after diet and exercise.

Question I’ve often asked: Are pesticides really necessary?

Miscellaneous news I enjoyed: New Indian washing machines will come with a “curry” setting.

COMMENT OF THE WEEK

“The coffee must flow. It’s important enough that we once had to use paper towels as a coffee filter at the office because we ran out. If you depend on people showing up at 3:30am to work, you find a way to get them caffeinated.”

To the uninitiated, meal planning can feel like an elusive practice or an overwhelming task, but that’s usually because we think about meal planning from the end point — when all the recipes have been selected, when all the groceries have been shopped for, and a week of dinners were successfully made. Put all the information in front of a newbie and their eyes grow wide with one resounding question: But how do I do it?

We’ve identified the simplest, most effective system for meal planning and broke it down into three key steps: selecting recipes, shopping for ingredients, and prepping your meals. These steps might seem pretty obvious, and for the most part they are, but there’s critical strategy within each of them. It’s the strategy that makes meal planning worth its weight in gold — or maybe just the money it saves you! Along the way we’re going to cover what to skip, what’s absolutely essential for success, and share a few bonus pro tips you can implement as you find your own rhythm.

You’ll leave this guide with a detailed playbook on how to craft your own meal plan so that eternal question of what’s for dinner can be asked and answered with strategy and precision.

You know that joke about how Whole Foods should be called Whole Paycheck? It seems the corporate poobahs have heard it, too. This year, the company plans to roll out more of their new lower-price-point supermarkets called 365 by Whole Foods Market.

Sound familiar? Whole Foods’ longstanding, dependable house label 365 Everyday Value is the centerpiece of these stores, which promise to be an economic alternative while adhering to Whole Foods’ ideals of hormone- and antibiotic-free meat and milk; no hydrogenated fats, artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives; cage-free eggs; and sustainably caught fish.

I shopped at the 365 in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles, one of three existing stores (the others in are Bellevue Square, Washington, and Lake Oswego, Oregon) to get an idea of what you can expect if you live in Bloomington, Indiana; Decatur, Georgia; Akron, Ohio; or one of the 11 other places where Whole Foods is building a 365 store. (The next opens its doors April 26 in Cedar Park, Texas, right outside Austin, where Whole Foods is headquartered, followed by a 365 in Santa Monica, California, this summer.)

Here’s what I learned. In a locally sourced, organic nutshell: It’s kind of like Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s had a baby.

We love a good chicken casserole. In all its many forms, this dish brings easy, comforting home cooking to any meal plan. On weeknights it’s the one-pan meal that comes to the table with a little something for everyone. For a low-key Sunday night dinner you can have classic chicken and biscuits cooked all in one dish.

Here are 15 of our favorite ways to bring the comfort of a chicken casserole to the dinner table. Reach for them when you’re craving something fast like a weeknight-friendly chicken empanada pie, or something classic like chicken and wild rice. No matter what, there’s something here to bring to your family table.
