A few weeks ago, we professed our love for these dry goods canisters and you guys all got super excited. (It was one of our most popular posts of the month!) So we feel obligated to tell you that the set is now a couple of bucks cheaper than it was before. Yes, we realize a few dollars isn’t much to write home about, but a set of six amazing canisters for less than $45? Well, that is! Especially considering the whole thing is technically supposed to be $60!

I remember the first time I ever booked a hostel room. My dad nonchalantly informed me that he was not, in fact, Liam Neeson — ergo, he would not be taking names through Europe to find me when I got kidnapped. Fair enough, I thought.

My dad’s c’est la vie attitude towards my inevitable disappearance aside, the exchange shows us that hostels sometimes get a bad rap. But for me, they’re the only places I stay when I travel. And that’s not only because they’re easier on the wallet.

My favorite local bar recently added a Unicorn Frosé to its cocktail menu, possibly as some kind of trap to catch its regulars. Because I’m one of them, I asked one of the bartenders if it had spirulina in it. She had to ask two of the other bartenders, and the consensus was no, but they weren’t sure, because they didn’t know what spirulina was.

They’re not alone. Spirulina has very quietly been part of some of this year’s biggest food trends, and most of us didn’t even notice it on the ingredient lists.

If I asked you for the phone numbers of every member of your immediate family, would you be able to tell me? How about your five closest friends? If you’re like me, chances are you couldn’t even come close. I do happen to remember my partner’s number, but that’s only because we bought sim cards […]

I’ve been working as a freelancer for about 10 years now, and let me tell you: there have been some prosperous times and some lean times. In the beginning, I even had to take on a part-time job to make ends meet. But through the years, I’ve learned a thing or two about working for […]

A Gainesville doctor is currently under criminal investigation after telling a patient who was reportedly “severely sick” to leave, in an extremely vulgar manner. What sparked the feud was when the patient, Jessica Stripe, was told to leave after telling the doctor that her wait time was extraordinarily long. Stripe claims that she had a […]

Celebrity chef Tyler Florence recently made the bold declaration that recipes are dead while attending Seattle’s Smart Kitchen Summit. In fact, he feels our whole approach to making food — from purchasing groceries and stocking our cupboards to choosing, prepping, and cooking our meals — is out of sync with the way we actually live now.

You don’t have to be a vegetarian to appreciate the goodness eating a meal full of veggies brings. We love squeezing more of them into whatever we happen to be cooking up, even if meat is in the equation as well. These 10 dinners make colorful produce the center of the plate and they’re quick and easy enough for the busiest of weeknights. Some skip the meat, others don’t — but regardless, they’re all worthy of adding to your dinner roster.

So, you want to stock the home bar with a decent selection of spirits but you don’t want to blow the bank. We hear you. That’s why we’ve gone to experts to find their top picks for American whiskey, tequila, and vodka so you can have a respectable bar — and still have cash left for other important stuff.

If you’re scared off by lower-priced vodkas, don’t be, says Joseph Fredrickson, owner of Society Lounge in Cleveland. “Even the worst products now are better than what they had back in the day,” he says. And it’s kind of pointless to splurge anyway, given that it’s probably going to end up in a cocktail. “Vodka’s one of those things,” he says. “We can argue all day if Aquafina tastes better than Glacier water but if you mix it with Kool-Aid can you tell a difference?”

And common distilling methods mean most vodkas will be fine these days, he says. So pick from any of these value vodkas and you’re good to go!
