From outside the gym looking in, a workout routine can seem like an insurmountable obstacle. Seeing others go through strenuous routines on machines you’ve never used before can be enough to turn just about any inexperienced person away. But I’m here to tell you that you aren’t alone in feeling intimidated.

I’ve been on a major deviled egg kick lately. Making a big plate of deviled eggs is one of the easiest and, frankly, most cost-effective ways to give a large group of people something nice and a bit substantial to snack on with cocktails.

Peas are the OG frozen vegetables. Whether you like them or not, it’s highly likely you have a bag in your freezer, if only to be used as an ice pack to soothe a bump or a bruise. But they’re worth so much more than that! You see, since frozen peas defrost and warm up almost instantly when cooked, they’re a rockstar ingredient for fast main dishes.

If you’d asked me what the best-selling snack brand on Amazon was, I would have guessed it was something rare or hard to find — maybe some small-batch product that was only available on the internet, or an international import like all those cool Kit Kat flavors you can only get in Japan.

But according to CSP Daily News, the top-selling snack brand on Amazon is also one of the most familiar ones in the grocery store: Planters.

The moment summer hits, my routine tends to involve rosé and icy gin and tonics. There’s just something about the sunny weather that makes me crave happy hour drinks a whole lot more often. While those have long been my go-tos, this year there’s a new bottle that’s been getting equal, if not more, playtime: Lillet.

For some, Lillet isn’t anything new, as it’s been around for a good long while. Yet, I’d only tried it a handful of times out at bars and never bothered to add it to my collection. Now the French aperitif wine will have a permanent place on my bar cart until fall hits. Here’s why — and why it deserves a spot on your bar cart too!

All right, people — we’re in the thick of summer, so it’s time to belly up to the bar for some ice-cold sangria with ripe summer fruit.

Please don’t go to that bad place in your mind of sickly sweet concoctions and hangovers so horrible that you’ll swear off the stuff. Great sangria can be refreshing, and it’s perfect for a summer party.

I never used to go to Target to buy ice cream, but I do now.

As I walked by the freezer case one day, one of the company’s Market Pantry ice creams stopped me in my tracks. Unicorn Magic? What the heck kind of flavor is that? The label described it as “fruity.” Next to it was another curiosity: Birthday Cake, made with frosting-flavored ice cream. Both were only $2.99 for 1.5 quarts. The price was as low as my expectations, but my curiosity was definitely piqued. I had to try them, so into the cart they went.

It’s pretty much a given that you’ll find chicken breast in regular rotation in my meal plans and at least one or two packs stashed in my freezer at all times. When it comes to versatility, lean, mild-mannered chicken breast deserves an award. It’s willing and able to meet your dinnertime needs on the stovetop or grill, and in the oven, slow cooker, or Instant Pot. It can also be partnered with just about anything you have hanging out in the fridge or pantry.

Most of the time, it just takes a little inspiration to turn that pack of chicken breast into dinner. Here are 15 of my favorites to get you started.

We’re suckers for a good origin story. And the best supermarket in Texas has an interesting one: It starts with a strong-willed woman named Florence Butt, who moved her family, including three sons, to Texas in the early 1900s. She was in search of better medical treatments for her husband, who suffered from tuberculosis. After taking orders and delivering groceries door-to-door for A&P Tea Company, Florence borrowed $60 to open Mrs. C.C. Butt’s Staple and Fancy Grocery on the ground floor of her home in Kerrville in 1905.
