You must understand your movement patterns, mobility, and every other aspect of health and fitness outside of your gym time.

The word mobility has flooded the fitness culture these last few years. With the rise of gymnastics and martial arts inspired “movement” training from numerous different “gurus,” mobility has finally earned a seat at the head table with the likes of strength, power, and aesthetics.

Comment of the Week

Interesting day. Stress can be very subjective. As a former police officer, everyone else thought my job was stressful. I thought it was fun. The sitting in the office version was, to me stressful, and so I got a new job.

One other observation: “Leftover wine’? Who has that?!

– 1. Great insight. Exactly, Brad. 2. Ha!

Our Editor in Chief, Faith, has always said Jamie Oliver’s chicken in milk is probably the best chicken recipe of all time. Public opinion may be divided, but I am right there in Camp Jamie’s Chicken with her. Never have I been actually excited about making chicken for dinner, but this is pure magic — the juiciest, most tender meat with that sauce (oh, that sauce!). We tend to make it every Sunday — especially in the colder months. The house smells amazing while it’s cooking, and I can hardly wait to sit down and eat.

Earlier today we shared one of our favorite treats, chocolate-dipped strawberries, so now let’s talk chocolate. Specifically, dipping chocolate. What kind of chocolate do you need for goodies like these? Take a few tips from this pastry chef — I’ve dipped a lot of chocolate in my time so let me give you the scoop.

My paternal grandmother was the lioness in our family. Fearlessly immigrating to the United States with her three youngest children from Hong Kong without speaking a word of English, she managed to navigate a new country, work as a seamstress, and send all of her kids to college. She had retired by the time I was born, so I simply knew of her as the grandmother who cooked dinner. Multi-coursed Chinese dinners every single night, at a large dining table where I squeezed in with uncles, aunts, and cousins.

And, without fail, my grandmother cooked a massive feast once a year to celebrate Chinese New Year. She steamed, braised, fried, and stir-fried until the table groaned with the offerings, and there was barely any room left for rice bowls and chopsticks. This meal was her pride and joy, and she always sat at the head of the table, happy to see three generations gathered together to have fun and feast.

You don’t need to spend a ton of money in order to show your Valentine how much you care (that’s what birthdays are for! Jokes.). The truth is, 25 bucks should be plenty, especially considering many believe Valentine’s Day is nothing but a commercial holiday.

Whether you’re shopping for a long-term SO, a new-to-you person with serious potential, your BFF, or yourself (you’re allowed to buy yourself things!) this little guide has perfectly sweet options that won’t break the bank. And they’re all eligible for Prime shipping, so no one has to know that you waited until now to order something!

Note: If you want to spend more than $25, just buy more things off this list.

This a treat that straddles the line between snack and dessert — which is the best kind of treat, if you ask me. Enjoy a couple of clusters after dinner to cure a chocolate craving or snack on one or two mid-afternoon when you’re in need a little energy jolt. The no-bake bites aren’t fussy: They are simply clusters of toasted coconut flakes and sliced almonds that are held together by dark chocolate and finished with a sprinkling of flaky sea salt.

They’re Paleo and vegan (as long as you stick with at least 70% dark chocolate that’s dairy-free) as well as gluten-free, but really they’ll make just about anyone happy. Just ask the group of friends I brought them to who devoured them in minutes.

I’m currently going through one those phases where I do not feel like cooking dinner one bit. I am very interested in eating a great meal, just not so much the cooking part. Yes, even food editors who love cooking feel this way from time to time. It’ll pass soon enough, but until then I’m filling my meal plan with my favorite super-satisfying, low-effort dinners.

Of course Valentine’s Day means that there’s an extra amount of attention being paid to chocolate on the 14th, but I would argue that all of February should be dedicated to chocolate, even the occasional appearance of February 29th! Winter is deep in its dreary phase and we need what chocolate has to offer — all of its richness, its bittersweet depth, and its dark, melty, endorphin-inducing goodness.

These 35 recipes, from extra-dark brownies with sea salt & lime to a chocolate bourbon truffle tart to coconut ganache bourbon balls, offer us more than enough inspiration to make something chocolatey every day in February and beyond.

I remember having tiramisu for the first time at a little Italian restaurant where my dad worked when I was a kid and hating the stuff. No 6-year-old loves marsala wine in what should be pudding and cookies. Fast forward to my days in culinary school, where I fell in love with a tiramisu so full of rich coffee flavor and the lightest, airiest zabaglione I’d ever had. Of course, making lady fingers from scratch made me think I’d never make tiramisu from scratch ever again!

At home, I take the lessons I learned as a kid and a culinary student to make a tiramisu strong on the coffee flavor and focused on a dreamy, light mascarpone and zabaglione filling. We’ll pick up a package of store-bought lady fingers and never look back because this recipe is easily the best tiramisu I’ve ever eaten.
