Sardinia, Italy, is a place where time seems to stand still. The residents of this Blue Zone region are renowned for living long, healthy, happy and relatively stress-free lives. They have a saying, (which has since been popularized in the Julia Roberts movie, Eat, Pray, Love) that seems to capture their relaxed approach to life. The […]

Recently I suffered a stomach bug. Luckily it was one of those that go through the system pretty quickly, but while it hung around, it was pretty unpleasant! By using natural flu remedies I was able to recover fairly quickly. As you probably know, staying hydrated when you’re sick is of key importance and that’s why […]

I’ve been loving listening to Trader Joe’s new podcast, Inside Trader Joe’s. It’s well-produced and the people on it are pretty funny, and it really does keep surprising me with new information. I just listened to episode four, though, and it broke my heart because they explain why they will never sell their products online.
Sure, there’s a good reason for it, but that’s probably cold comfort to those of us who don’t live near a Trader Joe’s and just want some cookie butter, lavender dryer sachets, and a bucket of dried fruit.

We’ve already covered why wedding registries are a necessary evil. (For those who missed it, the abridged version goes something like this: Everyone is going to ask where you’re registered, people are going to buy you stuff no matter what, you might love being able to pull out a platter that your grandmother gave you long after she’s gone, etc.).
Convinced? Yay! Staring at a blank computer screen wondering where to start? Boo!
Don’t worry — we’ve complied a list of the 15 essential kitchen items you should register for, and we’ve gone as far as to list the exact product you should ask for, sometimes even with options based on your tastes. Consider it our wedding present to you. We’ll just assume our invitation must have gotten lost in the mail?

During my freshman year of college, I lived in a small dorm that was a ways from the dining hall and instead had a small kitchen in the basement. That left me to cook most of my dinners, but my options were pretty limited when I shared the space with 30 other residents. So a whole lot of my meals relied on a jar of marinara sauce.
I’d toss pasta with it, make English muffin pizzas with it, and spoon it over pre-cooked breaded chicken breast for a hacked version of chicken Parm. I figured that sauce was completely multipurpose — and it is, to some extent.
The thing I realized later down the road is that marinara sauce is really not intended for pizza, whether that’s an English muffin pizza or an actual pizza. I don’t mean to be fussy, but there’s one big thing that sets them apart. Here’s what it is.

People love to talk about cold brew. This very site is running a bunch of stories about it right now, in fact. And obviously, there are lots of ways to turn tea leaves and coffee grounds into a refreshing beverage. But there’s one method that people don’t really talk about all that much: flash chilling (aka Japanese cold brewing).
If you’re going to give it a try (and you really should; keep reading to learn why), you might want to pick up this Takeya Flash Chill Iced Tea Maker, which is currently on sale.

There will always be a special place in our hearts for traditional tile installations in the kitchen, but sometimes you want a more unexpected look. Enter: the unfinished backsplash, which gets installed without the usual trim along the top.
Compared to standard backsplashes (like the one above), it’s a little less “perfect” and more out of the ordinary, thanks to a purposeful jagged edge. To put it simply, the look has a certain imperfect charm that we’re just loving these days.
There are two major ways we’ve been seeing this unfinished trend take shape. Keep reading to see what they are.

Most foods are made exponentially more tasty once deep-fried (hello, state fair food), but I feel that this is especially true for tofu. A crispy coat somehow transforms these wiggly little cubes into something rather magical.
But deep-frying tofu is a little much for an average weeknight. Here’s how to achieve crispy tofu perfection at home with a lot less fuss.
