Slowly step away from the rosé you’ve been sipping on all summer. As of this week, Aldi has officially become the first supermarket chain in the U.K. to sell a different kind of vino that’s all the rage these days: Orange wine. (And no, it’s not made with oranges.)

This time of year I get giddy about packing school lunches again — welcome back, regular routine! — but that doesn’t mean that packing 180 lunches every school year doesn’t come without its own highs, lows, and the occasional cooking rut.
One thing I keep in mind is that the lunch box can be one of the most opportune times to get my kids to eat more healthfully — veggies, fruits, whole grains, and good fats and proteins seem to be eaten more quickly when I’m not there to coach them! These 25 lunches are inspiring me to get ready for back to school with the hopes of getting my soon-to-be first grader to try more new foods this school year.

You can’t go to a children’s museum, a library story time, or even a Target without hearing the familiar crinkle of someone opening a bag of Annie’s snacks. Instinctively, kids pop up like prairie dogs to see what kind of treat is being opened. Is it fruit snacks? Bunny puffs? Cheddar bunnies? I see more bunnies than goldfish at the playground these days, and Annie’s folksy rabbit logo is everywhere.
Fact: Annie’s Homegrown is definitely winning the snack game. Here’s why.

I am a full-on Meghan Markle fangirl. She’s smart, kind, and her style is *airkiss*. The Duchess of Sussex also has excellent taste in food and wine, so when she said she had a fabulous three-ingredient pasta sauce made out of zucchini, water, and a bouillon cube, I had to try it out.

It’s Friday, everyone! And that means another Primal Blueprint Real Life Story from a Mark’s Daily Apple reader. If you have your own success story and would like to share it with me and the Mark’s Daily Apple community please contact me here. I’ll continue to publish these each Friday as long as they keep coming in. Thank you for reading!
I’ve been athletic and thin my whole life, 5’9″ 145 pounds. Nine years ago when I was 22-years-old I started noticing that I was running out of steam when road biking. The problem was solved with eating more, things like granola bars and gels. Over the next 8 years I kept having to eat more and more to feel satiated. I stopped road biking and going to the gym, I had no energy to be active even though I was eating tons of tons of food (carbs). We’re talking about eating four bagels at work, in addition to 3 large meals a day. Going on trips I would have loaves of bread on the ready.
I had seen an endocrinologist, had many things tested, I appeared to be completely normal. No medical explanation. My A1C was 5.7 and when occasionally checking my blood sugar it would always be between 70-130. I eventually hit the point when I was having hypoglycemic-like incidents every 2 hours while being completely sedentary. Eating would solve the issue for 2 hours. I was a slave to food and was scared of what was happening to me. I was struggling to live a normal life.
Last year I turned to Dr. Google and I found the ketogenic diet. It seemed to make sense, your body will run off of ketones and your blood sugar will not be all over the place. Within a week I had my life back. Boundless energy and endurance.
Doing more research I found your site and The Primal Blueprint. The Primal Blueprint and fitness clicks with me, much more than just limiting carbs. I’ve been primal for a year and I am feeling better than ever. My yearly physical showed my A1C at 5.2 and I’m no longer anxious about not having food available. I am now 31-years-old and I can look forward to living life.
Something interesting that I can’t explain is that I never was able to gain weight, before primal and even now. Maybe I have a very fast metabolism, I don’t know.
If I don’t have time to make breakfast in the morning I am able to skip breakfast and have also experimented with fasting for 24 hours to see if I could do it. I’ve found that a small amount of healthy carbs gives me that extra gear for when I need to be very active. My current activities are chasing after my three children and cutting up firewood, no easy tasks. I can tackle these with ease, thanks to primal. I’m certain going primal can cure just about anything!

Unlike dinner, making my work lunch isn’t a task that’s always prioritized. The result? I cobble something together at the last minute, and while it’s passable when noon rolls around it leaves a whole lot to be desired. I’m on a mission to change that, and I’d like to think I’m off to a good start.
The most important thing I’ve learned is that perking up your work lunch doesn’t have to take a whole lot of time, effort, or extra money. With lunch, as in life, it’s the smallest changes that make the biggest impact.

While I may have a penchant for expensive trash cans and premium dishwashing gloves, I am generally a frugal shopper. Especially after we did our series on grocery budgeting last fall, I’ve been extra-conscious about comparison-shopping, right-sizing my purchases, and changing the menu as necessary to stay within budget.
Where things start to get tricky? Packing lunch for my kids. Many of the pre-packaged items are more expensive than the bulk ones, and most of the stuff my kids actually like is not particularly healthy. And often, if I buy too much of one thing, their preferences change before we get through it.
There is one pre-packaged snack I’m willing to splurge on, though: Kirkland Signature Organic Roasted Seaweed Snack ($8.79 for 10, 0.6-ounce packs).

Sweet corn season is so fleeting that it’s extra important to take full advantage of it. I grew up doing this by eating my weight in corn on the cob — and while that’s still probably my favorite way to enjoy it, I quickly learned there are so many more options. Whether it’s crispy fritters, cheesy casserole, or a light salad, corn is easily one of summer’s best side dishes.

Just like with cars, Vitamix machines, and Instant Pots, there are various models of All-Clad pots and pans. While they’re all pretty high-end, there are varying degrees of fanciness and price. The most affordable is tri-clad, meaning those pots have three layers of metal. And it goes up from there — with more layers, better durability, and more even heating.
Typically, we would recommend just going for the most affordable option that works for you. That is, unless there’s a sale. And there currently is! Two skillets from the d5 collection — which, you guessed it, has five layers — are on major discount as part of Sur la Table’s Stock Up Sale. The 10- and 12-inch on-sale skillets also come with lids, making them great tools for one-pan dinners.

For no particular reason, I’ve never really worn gloves to wash the dishes. I guess my mom never did, so I didn’t get into the habit, and it’s hard to change habits! But my friends who cook a lot — and clean a lot of dishes — always wear them. Every time they do a dish! I mean, I guess I’ve pulled out a pair for Thanksgiving dinner clean up, but that’s about it. Anyways, I started to wonder if there was something there.
