We all know that exercise can boost your mood and drive away stress. When we engage in high-intensity exercise (such as HIIT), our brains release Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), a protein that can boost cognitive function and relax our minds. BDNF can also protect your brain, repair your memory, and reset your mood.

Chicken noodle soup is a classic “feel better” food for a reason — the warm, salty broth soothes your sore throat while the fortifying noodles, chicken, and veggies give you strength and energy. This chicken-orzo soup is no exception. Whip up a batch ASAP and freeze it for later — with winter on the horizon, you never know when you’ll need a comforting bowl of homemade soup.

Thanksgiving is coming — and it’s early this year. In other words, if you haven’t made your travel plans for turkey day and beyond, you’d best get booking. And if you don’t want to get stuck overpaying for flights or getting stuck in a blizzard in Chicago, there’s one thing you should definitely do.

With all the fuss that’s involved in building your Thanksgiving dinner, what to drink with the turkey and fixings should be the least complicated decision you make.

I want a dog that’s small enough for me to carry around like a baby and he wants one that he can ride. So until they come up with a breed that can grow and shrink on demand, we spend a lot of time taking in other people’s pups while they go on vacation. (In fact, we just said goodbye this morning to a shiba inu named Sumo.)

We’ve learned a lot from watching nearly a dozen different dogs over the years. For one, I like rubbing bellies nearly as much as dogs like getting bellies rubbed. I’ve learned that dog toys are key for beating boredom on rainy days. And I learned one important thing about my kitchen.
