Shopping for a blender can be complicated. There are a lot of options out there! And not only are these gadgets pretty bulky, but they can also cost a pretty penny. The last thing you want to do is waste storage space or money on a blender that doesn’t actually fit your lifestyle or needs.
Check out these important questions to ask yourself before you, um, checkout.

How many of you will be joining us for the Challenge next week—and how many for the first time? (I’d love to see a show of hands in the comment section.)
The cool thing about the Challenge each year is this: everybody comes at it from a different place. Some folks are hundred pounds overweight and haven’t exercised in years. Some are at the top of their Primal game but love the community engagement and chance to encourage others. Most are at every stage in between.
Behind every participant across that spectrum is a fascinating story. Your story. The one in which you haven’t quite had the life you’d hoped lately—and the one in which you claim it back.
Today I’ve got some ideas and resources for you to consider. If you’re on the fence about joining us, maybe these can get you over the hump and get you committed. I sure would like to see you with us.
Does your pantry and refrigerator reflect your Challenge intent? You have four days to dump or donate what you won’t be eating and to fill your kitchen with Primal fare. Here are some lists (for Primal and for keto) that can be of help.
Here’s the catalog of every MDA recipe, but don’t forget to check out the goodies over at Primal Kitchen®’s recipe blog, too.
It’s easy to get wrapped up in the “vastness” of a goal. Some of us benefit from seeing our accomplishments grow task by task. For those who are wired that way, keep a food/exercise/stress management journal or wear a tracker if you like gadgets. In addition to the actual tasks, make some observational notes on how you feel, what you’re able to accomplish, where you feel challenged. Looking back on your notes will give you a sense of how far you’ve come and how you stuck with your plan over time.
I did a whole post on this (“Alternative Goal Setting: How Free Spirits and Slow Burners Can Achieve Their Health Visions”) during a Challenge last year, and I still get mail about this one. If you’re naturally skeptical of structure, take a look.
For anyone who needs guidance on how to fit in a workout each day without a gym membership or any special equipment, I’ve got dozens of ideas right here. Whether it’s The Grok Throwdown, The Cave Bear, Bringing Home the Kill, or the Couch Workout, you’re sure to find a favorite.
Sometimes it’s easier to tackle one aspect of a lifestyle than to attend to all of them at once. While the Challenge encompasses all of the areas, don’t worry if you need to focus to get the best result. Although all the elements of the Primal Blueprint work together (and can actually make other efforts easier), the most important point is to make the change you’re willing to make. Take on what you feel you’ll stick to. If you keep the rest in sight, chances are you’ll begin gravitating toward those other changes anyway. Healthy choices have an elegant way of begetting other healthy choices.
Think of the excuses you’ve used in the past for not taking this next step—whatever it is you’d tackle on this particular Challenge. Write them all down on paper. Individual post-its if you want to get fancy about it. But then watch them all go up in flames. For 21 days, let them stay in the ashes. After three weeks, if you want them back you can have them.
If excuses have derailed you in the past, come armed with something to fill that space instead. Choose a mantra you’ll turn to again and again throughout these three weeks. THIS will be your fallback when the going gets tough or you get tired. This will be your stepping stone back to your intention.
Thanks for stopping by today, everybody. The bees and I are getting next week set up for one awesome Challenge experience. I’ll have multiple announcements on Monday to kick us off and some tips for meal prep as well. In the meantime, let me know how you’re prepping for the 21-Day and how we can be of help.

Meet your new favorite summer party recipe: slow cooker baked beans. Long loved for their sweet, tangy flavor and tender, creamy texture, baked beans for backyard barbecues and summer cook outs used to mean heating up the whole house to slowly cook the dried beans for hours upon hours. Here the slow cooker saves the day by doing all the work and keeping you cool at the same time.
This recipe for slow cooker baked beans really is as easy as soaking some dried beans, dicing an onion, and layering a few things in the slow cooker before letting the beans cook low and slow overnight. You’re going to be making these lush, crowd-pleasing beans all summer long.

I really don’t want to spoil the surprise for my husband, my step-dad, my father-in-law, or my brother who just became a dad, but I’ve landed on what I think is the perfect Father’s Day gift for all the dads in my life and I think you need to know about it, too.
This single gift is perfect for food-loving fathers and dads who like tools, beer, or practical gifts like tires, glasses, and golf balls. It’s easy to mail and will be a gift that keeps on giving throughout the year. This gift is also one that will help dads do what they do best: take care of other people.

More and more convenience stores have been expanding their grocery options, adding coolers for fresh refrigerator staples and even select produce to the stores. While grocery shopping at these stores is generally more expensive than shopping at a warehouse store or an actual supermarket, you can often find good deals on pantry staples — especially through their store brands.
I recently did an official sweep through CVS to see what kind of groceries they offered. They had a small but broad selection of items — pretty much anything you might be grabbing in a pinch if you needed a few groceries on the way home from work.

I am not what you call a morning person. Even though I dream of waking up at 6 a.m. and doing yoga before making myself a healthy breakfast from scratch, it is not in the cards right now. I like staying up late. So, breakfast is always a problem for me. And hey, even if you’re not like me and do happen to wake up before the sun rises, there are other things to get done — lunch boxes to be made for kids and piles of laundry to do. Maybe you also struggle with breakfast.
Instead of skipping it entirely or eating something that might make you feel sluggish the rest of the day (hello, bagels), I’ve found a few small splurges that make things a little easier in the morning. They’re also mostly healthy (if you care about that sort of thing). Here are the on-the-go picks I rely on when the morning struggle gets too real.

Not a week goes by that I don’t reach for my trusty cast iron skillet. The simple tool helps get meals on the table easily and efficiently (plus, I get a little arm workout every time I pull the heavy thing out from the cabinet). While its main use in my kitchen is to churn out lots of one-pan dinners, it doesn’t get put away after the dishes are washed. It often stays put through dessert, since it works wonders at baking things like brownies and cakes, too.
These 25 recipes show just how versatile the cast iron skillet can be.

I love my cast iron skillet. It’s one of my most-used kitchen tools. It’s the perfect vessel to cook a pork chop, crisp up some chicken thighs, or even bake a batch of brownies. I love being able to transfer things from the stovetop to the oven with ease. Oh, and it’s super easy to clean!
You can use a cast iron skillet for almost anything — as long as you take the time to maintain it and keep it in good condition. That’s why I’m going to show you how to easily season your cast iron skillet and keep it in great working order!

There is one important thing you should know about getting this chicken on the dinner table: You’re gonna need to put out plenty of extra napkins. Because as any really good firecracker chicken recipe should be, this one is all about the vibrant, sticky sauce.
It’s a weeknight version of the takeout favorite that partners a pack of meaty, wallet-friendly chicken thighs with a bright, glossy sauce that’s sweet, tangy, and a little bit spicy.

Training frequency is one of the most important variables to consider for hypertrophy. In this instance training frequency relates to how often a given muscle is trained rather than how often you train in the gym.
