Welcome to Kitchn’s series My Healthy Morning, where we show you how one person greets the day in a way that makes them feel their best. Each post will chronicle how that person defines healthy for themselves, and the habits and recipes that make their morning a little bit better.

I first heard of Marissa Ross through social media, as is now custom. Bon Appétit, where Ross has a wine column, probably featured her on their Instagram account and I went down a rabbit hole. (Side note: Is it bad to admit you’re a creep? Probably!).

Ross is funny. Like, really funny. She makes talking about wine interesting, which is a very hard thing to do. Most wine writing is boring and esoteric; it alienates people. But Ross is different. Maybe it’s the many photos of her drinking wine straight from the bottle, or the cover of her recently published book where she’s lounging in a chair with wine bottles strewn across the floor. Whatever it is, I’m buying it.

And even though she is a self-proclaimed hedonist, she values taking care of her mental and physical health, which sometimes means less wine and more vegetables. We visited Ross at her home in Los Angeles and got a glimpse into her healthy morning routine.

The Plexus Wheel is one of those inventions you sort of wish you had thought of yourself. It’s fairly simple—it appears to be made out of some sort of PVC and coated with a soft rubber that actually makes it comfortable to roll around on (unlike its cousin, the Dharma Wheel, which is beautiful, made of wood, and isn’t exactly an object you want to hang out on for extended periods of time).

There are almost as many ways to make pizza as there are to cook eggs. You can make pizza in the oven, on the grill, on the stovetop, in a muffin tin, on waffle fries, baked in a spaghetti squash, or Chicago deep-dish style! But what if your home, for the time being, was a space station? Is pizza in space even possible? Apparently so!

This holiday season we set out to make the best latkes recipe ever. We started in earnest by testing five of the most popular latkes recipes and using their best attributes to make a truly fail-proof lesson on this classic fried potato dish. Every variable was tested, from hand-grating versus food processing to new combinations of frying oil (spoiler: schmaltz wins). But for all that testing, one surprising takeaway remained: What do you do with the liquid squeezed out of your potatoes?

If you’re going to watch just one Hallmark Christmas movie, go for the one set in Cookie Jar.

No, it’s not a surreal adventure featuring a team of tiny humans trapped in a cookie jar (hey, Hallmark, next year? Maybe?) — Christmas Cookies is the story of Hannah Harper, a hotshot New York food exec who is sent to the tiny town of Cookie Jar to buy Aunt Sally’s Cookie Company. Although this beloved cookie factory is the heart of the town’s commerce, Hannah’s possibly evil boss wants to move the company and sell the cookies year-round.

The OR nurse’s comment was as predictable as it was common.

“So, this was a mountain biking crash?”

“Yup,” I replied with a grin, knowing full well it sounded much more impressive than it was. The crash that snapped my collarbone was a non-event. I wasn’t going fast, or jumping anything, or picking some extreme line at the Red Bull Rampage. I just lost the front tire on an unexpectedly slick rock.

I’m not a huge baker (Christmas cookies are my one exception), so my mother and I have gone back and forth on the virtues of making your own pie crust versus buying the ready-made kind. In case there’s any confusion: She likes to make it, and I tend to buy it.

Even though the recipe for making pie crusts is fairly simple and definitely more delicious, I find the cleanup to be annoying — all that flour everywhere, not to mention the sticky dough that gets on your mixing bowl, cooking utensils, and countertops. It just seems to cling, and tackling it with my usual sponge and hot, soapy water only seems to spread it (and gum up the sponge, too).

Well, turns out I’ve been doing it wrong. The best defense for cleaning up sticky dough is actually the opposite of my instinct: cold water, not hot.

About half of all American women use vibrators. Why does this matter? Because that’s how many women could possibly have “dead vagina syndrome”— if indeed, it is a true medical condition. DVS is something you may have heard of. It involves unintentionally desensitizing your lady parts due to vibrator-overuse. So, could what you’re doing beneath […]
