Grocery shopping with reusable bags used to look like this for me: I’d grab a wad of totes, hop in the car, shop, and load them up during checkout. It sounds like it would all be seamless enough, but it wasn’t. I almost always ended up one bag short, flustered at the register as I tried to load up each tote, or dealing with runaway groceries while I put the bags in the car. (Sometimes, all three would happen!)

So I was totally down for trying something different, and when I got a Lotus Trolley Bag, I couldn’t wait to take it for a test drive!

Steak tips are a favorite in my household for their budget-friendly price and bold beefiness, and I love playing around with different ways to flavor them. My current favorite is a sweet-and-savory marinade of maple syrup and bourbon. Just a quick stint in this marinade infuses every bite with flavor, and searing them in a hot skillet gives them a gorgeous golden-brown crust.

Use the same pan to cook fresh asparagus until sweet and crisp-tender, and finish it all with a buttery sauce made from the tasty bits left behind from the steak. I promise it will rival anything you can order at a fancy-pants steakhouse.

The first time I cooked with my now-husband, I was surprised to learn he had a collection of cast iron pans in an array of sizes. What impressed me most wasn’t that he had a larger (and more well-seasoned) set of cast iron than me, but the smart way he stored his cast iron pans.

We’ve all felt down in the dumps before. It’s a crummy feeling, and for some, it’s a state-of-mind that can be tough to shake. As stated by the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, major depressive disorder is the leading cause of disability in the United States.

There is one Groupon that my husband and I like to have in the hopper at all times: a deal for a nearby taqueria that gets us three tacos for $7 (versus the $13 they’d be ordinarily). When I logged on to restock this morning, I saw another deal that got me super excited.

Summer is prime grilling season. Any main course you make in the presence of a smoky flame immediately takes on the taste of the season, but the real question is, what side dishes will you make to go alongside your burgers, steak, or grilled chicken breast? That’s where the fun really comes in.

Researchers from Swinburne’s Centre for Human Psychopharmacology write in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease about the mechanisms underlying cognitive performance in older people living independently and it proves to be an interesting look at the long-term benefits of preventative exercise. Lead author, PhD candidate Greg Kennedy, says that from early adulthood, memory and other aspects of cognition slowly decline, with an increased risk of developing into dementia in later life.
