My name is Matthew Gruttadauria, I am 22-years-old and live in Las Vegas, Nevada. For most of my life I have been a rather fit and active individual. I played sports throughout high school and college. Once I got out of college and began to work I started to gain a lot of weight and was always fatigued.

My typical eating day before I discovered The Primal Blueprint was fast food (mickey d’s, burger king, panda express, wendy’s) for all 3 meals of the day. All I ate was garbage and would eat candy and drink soda, and sports drinks (powerade, gatorade, coke). My diet was extremely poor and I was just starting to feel horrible all the time.

Then one day, one of my employees, Clark, started to talk to me about nutrition and exercise to try and help me lose weight and get some energy. Clark told me to purchase The Primal Blueprint 21-Day Total Body Transformation. So I went home that day went on Amazon and ordered it. I then proceeded to read the book and took on the 21-Day Challenge.

I immediately started to see results and felt better. I was shedding the pounds away and not even working out. Once I finished the 21-Day Challenge I was shifted from depending on carbs and sugar for fuel, and I became a fat burner and felt awesome.

I have been Primal/Keto for about 1 year now and have lost a total of 60 pounds and feel absolutely stellar. I love and enjoy every bite of food I eat and have endless amounts of energy without having to constantly be eating. It feels so free to be on this diet, even though it’s not really a diet. It is a lifestyle and it completely changed my life, and I want to say thank you to Mark Sisson for guiding me to a new healthy lifestyle.

We eat ice cream year-round, but ice pops? Ice pops seem to be tailor-made for summer. They’re fruity, icy refreshments on a stick. Like lemonade or juice, but in solid form! With ice pop season upon us (fun fact: We’re not calling them Popsicles because that’s a brand name like Kleenex and Xerox!), we figured it’s high time to find out which brands make the best ones.

The next time you’re in a breakfast rut, I’ve got the most delicious way to pull you out. It starts with tortillas and involves giving your morning meal some Tex-Mex flair.

Get inspired with these 10 hearty and comforting Tex-Mex breakfast favorites.

Even before I learned that the “butter” in movie theater popcorn isn’t actually butter (sorry to be the bearer of bad news), I’ve been stashing my own snacks in the depths of my tote bag for movie munching. (I know this is technically frowned upon, so please don’t @ me!) My go-to store for stocking up: Trader Joe’s, of course. See, TJ’s is the king of irresistibly quirky snacks for every occasion — and that includes catching a flick and cooling off in an air conditioned movie theater.

The following list includes snacks I’ve gotten (and loved!) in the past, plus some nominations from other Kitchn staffers. (I’m not the only one sneaking snacks into the theater!)

Things aren’t going so great for the heroes of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Not only have terrifying new breeds of dinosaurs taken over Isla Nublar, but all of the creatures must be removed from the island, thanks to a massive volcano that’s about to erupt. Add to this some bad guys threatening the entire planet, and Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) and Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) have their work cut out for them. (And, hopefully, workers’ comp.)

This casserole is filled with everything you love about the classic, custard-soaked French toast from the stovetop, but goes big to feed a crowd and comes with a sweet, summery twist. It gets a double dose of berries, with bursts of warm strawberry jam in the center and glossy macerated berries on top, and melty nuggets of cream cheese scattered throughout.

It’s sweet and well-balanced, standing firmly in breakfast territory, but should you want to top it with fresh whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream and present it as dessert, I guarantee no one at the table will object.

Kitchn’s Delicious Links column highlights recipes we’re excited about from the bloggers we love. Follow along every weekday as we post our favorites.

Boneless skinless chicken thighs are infinitely better than boneless skinless chicken breasts. They’re much juicier, harder to overcook, and full of flavor — all things the most basic cut of chicken is not. We’ve talked about our love for chicken thighs a lot on Kitchn, including here, and here, and here. Pinterest also loves a good chicken thigh recipe, as indicated here.

And now we have our eyes on this recipe for skillet chicken thighs with creamy tomato basil spinach sauce from Julia’s Album. You need to put this on your weekly meal plan ASAP.

We are big fans of under-cabinet lighting. Because, no matter how good your overhead lights are, you are almost always going to have shadows on your counters. You know, where you’re using sharp knives and actually need to see what you’re doing!

While you can easily add simple lighting for $35 or less, we just came across another super-cool option. It’ll cost you a little more (at least it’s currently on sale for Amazon Prime Day!), but it will do one thing other lights don’t: disinfect your countertops.

Honey, along with coconut oil, has to be one of the most universally beneficial natural beauty products. It doesn’t matter what type of skin you have — whether it’s dry, oily, acne-prone, sensitive, inflamed, aging — there’s no one who can’t get better skin with honey. To be clear though, I’m not just talking about […]
